Hellfire Missile: If you look at the trajectory of the missile, are we witnessing an effect of gravitational lensing?
I.e. the hellfire is moving straight, before and after ‘impact’, but the curvature we’re seeing is an optical phenomenon due to a dense gravitational field?
Submission Statement: Is the Hellfire missile going straight all along, but we’re seeing the optical phenomenon of gravitational lensing.

The way I imagine it, is that it hit the surface area of the craft, but that it still has an outer layer that was never punctured, but the missile did poke into it and immediately bounced off, or more like slipped off. Whatever that outer layer is protected it, but the overall impact still damaged it on the inside of its bubble.

Do you know what gravitational lensing is? It’s not that.
The missile trajectory does look weird.

I want this to be aliens as much as the next guy, but we really need more info about this video before we can judge it. Burlison said it was an anonymous “dead drop” (whatever that means). So this could be totally fake, it could be a balloon, or it could be a legit UAP, we just don’t know.
The 2017 videos had the benefit of a chain of custody, and some of the pilots coming forward to vouch for the event having happened. Hopefully we get that here.
If this is a video of a drone shooting at a Houthi balloon, we’re all going to look like dummies and someone is going to jail for leaking it, I think.

The fact that it is still moving tells us it didn’t make contact despite how close it got. Someone should calculate the kinetic energy on impact and ask if the object was somehow pushed out of the way by the missile how heavy or light would that object have to be for it to not damage the missile. The obvious assumption is it was so fast it moved out of the way or the field around it is so tight that the front of the missile where the proximity switch is didn’t have time to react as if the front of the missile slowed down in time even though it was still accelerating.

I was wondering the same but I think it could be more that’s just it looks as it arcs down from its trajectory, then deflects off the UAP after impact.

I think my biggest take away from these weapons platform videos is people don’t understand how camera and lens work. Things like Parallax and telephoto compression are just totally ignored. Everyone assumes the UAP in this video is moving super fast when in actuality it could be floating in the wind at 20mph. The camera is moving FAST and panning/adjusting to keep a lock. The ocean below is VERY far away, but is being filmed with a “long lens” so it’s compressing the distance. This give the illusion of extreme speed. If the hellfire was flying toward the camera lens then it’s path would appear distorted or curved even it’s a straight line IRL. Same with the movement after the collision.
TLDR – It’s really hard to speculate on trajectory and speed without knowing the positions of all the objects and their relative positions to each-other. I’m eagerly awaiting real mathematical analysis of this video because it’s an interesting one for sure!

It’s insane how it’s just kept going
