No One Knows How It’s Possible a Hellfire Missile Doesn’t Explode When It Scores a Direct Hit on a UFO?

September 25, 2025

Naval Air Warfare Station China Lake

When we heard the testimony at the first House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets discussing a video of a UFO getting hit by a Hellfire missile, we knew exactly who to call in order to get some answers: The Public Information Office at the Naval Air Warfare Station at China Lake. Of course, they won’t take our calls, so we’ll have to say that the Navy at China Lake has “no comment”.

Publisher’s Note: I might as well engage in wild conjecture on this one and I’ll use the Navy’s acronyms to keep it short and sweet: I believe the Navy at China Lake has been developing the technology, including IBAR, ATFLIR, and Hellfire Missiles (modified from Air-to-Ground to Air-to-Air using the AIM-9 Sidewinder technology), as the foundation for a weapon system to be used to neutralize Tic-Tac UAP (which are alien drones) controlled by much larger triangle and square shaped UAP motherships. The incident disclosed in a congressional hearing below was a live-fire test (with perhaps a dummy warhead), and it’s only a matter of time before the people at China Lake figure out how to neutralize the UAP Tic -Tac drones whenever we choose to do so. They’ve been working on this “project” for over 30 years, though I don’t have any inside information to know any of this. It’s all guesswork.

This UFO Survived a Hellfire Missile And No One Knows How (Slashgear.com)

The video is dated October 30, 2024, and was provided by a whistleblower. The glowing orb was spotted moving in a straight line off the coast of Yemen in what was then an active combat zone. The hearing did not release details about the U.S. mission during that time, but the Navy was protecting commercial shipping lanes from air strikes by Houthi militants and fired a Hellfire missile at the UAP. Instead of destroying it, the missile appears to bounce off, with debris from the UAP also flying through the air.

There are several types of Hellfire missiles, and while reports from the hearing do not identify which type was used in this incident, witnesses testified that no American technology could survive this type of strike. The Pentagon had no comment on the video, but three Air Force personnel who testified at the hearing admitted that the video scares them. (Slashgear.com)

If the folks at China Lake are scratching their heads, should we be scared too?

What do they do at the laboratories and test ranges at the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division at China Lake, California? This will become self-evident to all of you by reading and watching the videos below, but we’ll explain just in case:

Answer: China Lake masters the art of blowing things up with missiles launched from aircraft, drones and submarines.

Of course, NAWS China Lake is so secretive, they don’t need a public information office and they certainly don’t have any reason to answer the phone if they know we’re calling, but we left a voice message anyway. Who knows? Maybe someday they’ll throw Roadrunner395.com a bone and inform us about where all those UFO’s are coming from and why a Hellfire missile would bounce off one or be used to disable or destroy one in the first place.

We should mention that the images in this post can be found at the NAWCWD website: https://www.navair.navy.mil/nawcwd/

The scientists working at NAWS China Lake have been practicing their art since they were little kids playing with Estes rockets. Little did they know that their hobbies would lead them to develop infrared targeting systems (ATFLIR) that can track a UFO, fire a Hellfire missile from an MQ-9 Reaper drone and successfully strike it in mid-air from a direction moving perpendicular to the UFO.

China Lake developed and tested the ATFLIR tracking system that was used to take video of the infamous Tic-Tac UFO’s off the coast of Southern California in 2004. Without ATFLIR, we wouldn’t have videos of the little orbs streaking through the sky or be able to shoot them down with Hellfire missiles.

China Lake also developed the Hellfire missile, or at least much of the technology used in the development of both the missile’s tracking technology as well as the explosive warhead. That’s what they do for a living? It’s called the “Weapons Division” for a reason. And China Lake is called the Navy’s “Crown Jewel” for a reason.

We Have Many Questions for the PIO at China Lake

Congressman Eric Burlison from the “Show Me” state of Missouri wants answers too. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets is trying to get some answers. We’d ask the good folks at China Lake’s PIO to play along, declassify something, anything, and clue us in by sending us an email or simply picking up the phone and denying any knowledge of the incident or video. Even a non-denial denial would tell us a lot.

We understand from the testimony to Congress and the video, which was leaked by a whistleblower, that a UFO was flying off the coast of Yemen in an active combat zone on October 30th, 2024. The video shows an object, allegedly a Hellfire missile, hitting another object in midair while traveling perpendicularly at a high rate of speed. We thought that the Hellfire missile is an Air-to-Ground missile, so we’re also a bit curious about that one minor detail that’s apparently been lost on everyone.

NAVAIR – The Force Behind the Fleet

We also know that NAVAIR at China Lake builds the future of Naval aviation, they are the “Force Behind the Fleet”. This is an awesome video:

Finally, we also know that the scientists at China Lake probably knew all about this UFO incident in real time but that’s another story for another day.

For today, we have only one question

Will China Lake please confirm that was really a Hellfire missile launched by an MQ-9 Reaper drone at a UFO? If they would only confirm the video is real and answer just one simple question we’d have the scoop of the century. “Navy confirms that a Hellfire missile bounced off a UFO and didn’t explode on purpose!” would be our headline. (It was a test with a dummy warhead). We’d make $millions on clicks! (Not really, we haven’t made a dime on this blog in over 5 years.)

There are several types of Hellfire missiles, and while reports from the hearing do not identify which type was used in this incident, witnesses testified that no American technology could survive this type of strike.

Not only that, but the Hellfire also scores a direct hit on the UFO and bounces off of it in pieces, and it doesn’t explode? And somehow, the pieces of the Hellfire are then dragged along by the UFO like they’re in some sort of magnetized force field? Are we to believe any of this? A Hellfire missile fired at a UFO just bounces off the darn thing and doesn’t explode?

The Pentagon had no comment on the video, but remember, the three Air Force personnel who testified at the hearing admitted that the video scares them. We, however, are not scared. Intrigued yes but not scared. Of course, we have a few more questions for the people that work at China Lake.

And we’d certainly appreciate it if the Public Information Office would throw us a bone or two about ongoing drama surrounding the infamous “Tic Tac” videos produced by the Navy after F-18 Super Hornets encountered unidentified aerial phenomena or UAP’s off the coast of California in 2004.

Here’s the infamous Tic-Tac video – “We got it!” (ATFLIR)

Hornet’s New ATFLIR Takes First Flight

The 2004 “Tic Tak” videos were made possible by Advanced Targeting Forward Looking Infrared (ATFLIR) pods mounted on F-18’s and which were first announced by the Navy in 1999:

The ATFLIR infrared targeting system was developed at China Lake with the first flight in November 1999. Weapons Test Squadron Pilot Lt. Cmdr. Greg Huffman piloted the mission in an F/A-18D, at the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) Land Ranges at China Lake, Calif.

By 2024, the Navy is using MQ-9 Reaper Drones and Hellfire Missiles to (almost) shoot UFO’s down! The video of the Hellfire incident was just last year and it illustrates the progress made since ATFLIR was first tested over 25 years ago.

Here’s another really cool video about the work and the test ranges at NAWCWD China Lake:

Yes, it was shocking then. Today it’s just another UFO in the news cycle:

RADM William S. “Deak” Parsons Range Control Center

Last but not least, the Navy at China Lake just dedicated the new Range Control Center in a ribbon cutting ceremony on September 23, 2025. We’d sure like to get a tour of that building while they’re testing their Hellfire missiles! Those perfectly timed earthquakes sure paid off…
