Three Navy and Air Force veterans testified Tuesday morning on Capitol Hill at the third congressional hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), the new term for UFOs, since 2023.

During the hearing, Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri showed shocking, never-before-seen footage of a UFO being struck by a Hellfire missile from a US military drone on October 30, 2024.

The black-and-white video captured the 100-pound class air-to-ground precision weapon bouncing off the mysterious orb, which continued traveling at extreme speed off the coast of Yemen.

Witness Jeffrey Nuccetelli, a former Air Force military police officer for 16 years, called the new video 'exceptional evidence' of the existence of UFOs. 

He and the other men disclosed how they saw multiple types of strange, unexplained craft while on duty, including giant triangles, glowing cubes larger than a football field, and the infamous Tic-Tac-shaped vehicles spotted over the Pacific Ocean.

Along with their eye-witness accounts, two of the veterans claimed that the US government has attempted to keep their incidents a secret, allegedly threatening witnesses to stay quiet and blacklisting at least one of the veterans.

Dylan Borland, a former Air Force geospatial intelligence specialist, said in his opening statement that multiple government agencies blocked him from getting work, forged his documents, and manipulated his security clearance.

Borland claimed that happened after he reported sightings of a 100-foot triangle flying low over him at Virginia's Langley Air Force Base in 2012 to his superiors. 

The large craft interfered with his telephone, made no sound, and rapidly ascended thousands of feet in seconds, Borland told the members of Congress.

While in the government's classified Special Access Program (SAP), Borland added that other intelligence officers told him they had also faced retaliation after reporting their own encounters with UFOs.

Additionally, Borland claimed that the US intelligence community was engaging in phishing attacks in an attempt to assess what he disclosed to the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) during a polygraph test in November 2024.
