FULL House UAP hearing with analysis by Ross Coulthart | Reality Check
A historic House subcommittee hearing Tuesday unveiled never-before-seen video appearing to show a Hellfire fail to take down an unidentified “orb.” Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., shared the video, which was taken on Oct. 30, 2024, off the coast of Yemen. As the missile appeared to bounce off the object rather than destroy it, journalist and hearing witness George Knapp observed “it kept going.” The hearing centered on unidentified anomalous phenomena, government disclosure and protection for whistleblowers. NewsNation special correspondent and investigative journalist Ross Coulthart watched along and gave his analysis, live on stream.
