Pretty interesting video. Survived a hellfire missile hit. 

Not just survive. Deflected it. And keeps on trucking. The missile didn’t even explode on impact. Definitely one of the most compelling videos I’ve seen.

The AGM-114R9X "Flying Ginsu" or "Ninja Bomb" is a highly specialized Hellfire variant that does not use explosives. 

Kinetic energy and blades: Before impact, six sharp blades extend from the missile's casing. It relies on a combination of these blades and its own kinetic energy to shred or slice the target.

Those are pretty high-value and usually used when it’s important to avoid civilian casualties.  
 

If Reapers and Hellfires were used then the object was moving fairly steadily and not too fast. This area is some of the most heavily monitored and a site of active air defense operations against Houthi missiles and drones.  
 

My bet is the Hellfire failed to detonate against some sort of one-way drone. Good article here:

Also important that this was engaged with at all. The military doesn’t shoot at things that are unidentified; that’s why all the other UAP videos are just tracking. Someone in the chain identified this as a Houthi target and got the green light.

So what was it?

It’s hard to tell without all the telemetry and also we are relying on the word of whomever leaked it that this was indeed Yemen. The Hellfire is not an air to air missile by design although it can be adapted for use against relatively slow targets.  I would bet it’s some kind of drone. 
 

The missile delivered a glancing hit, caused debris to break off, and then whatever it was went spiraling off orthogonally.  I’m just not seeing anything beyond the ordinary here.

You think a drone would be able to withstand even a glancing blow from a missel? It continues on seemingly unaffected. The debris seems to also eerily continue on right behind the object. Why didn’t the debris tail off as the object continued on? 
 

also the shape of the object seems to act almost gelatinous once it is struck.

Maybe, it could. A Hellfire weighs about 100 pounds and this one doesn’t detonate (we don’t know why and the impact simply could not have been hard enough to trigger). Depending on where and what it struck, it’s absolutely possible for it not to be demolished. Whatever it hit didn’t just continue on its way, it clearly changed trajectory and went glancing off another direction. And you can’t see altitude from this angle, or length of video. Any sort of effects are artifacts of the sensors you’re viewing this through. 
 

Bottom line, whatever it was, it as not acting out of line with physics as we understand it.

For context— the Shahed-type drone used by the Houthis weighs over 400 pounds. They are bigger than you think.  Plenty of things in the sky that won’t be completely destroyed by a glancing Hellfire strike.

That’s not to say that’s what this was but the way the object reacted is not out of line with extremely terrestrial technology.

What about the 3 smaller spheres attached to it that broke off when the hellfire hit it, but continued on the same trajectory with the larger object after impact. That defies our current understanding of physics

Will we every have the tech to buy a good dash cam on a military aircraft?  Grainy black/white fuels a lot of speculation.

And yeah, a small missile hitting a drone and failing to detonate would look just like what we see in that vid.

I don't know, but odds are one of these guys does.

Only in 'Murica does "a technology greater than our own" automatically equate to "it must be aliens".  That we seem to be mostly focused on government hearings where the government complains about the government's conspiracy to hide these videos at the same time the government is showing the videos publicly makes me think its more about political theater, misdirection and/or grift than actually trying to ascertain what that technology is and who is behind it.  "I'm not going to explain it to you, just watch.  DID YOU SEE THAT?!  It was hit by a HELLFIRE missle!  DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID?!  HELL!! AND  FIRE!  THATS FUCKING HOT HOT!  AND IT KEPT ON GOING!"

Who said alien? Even it were to be a foreign adversary the video is a big deal. 
 

the object is struck, appears to spin over upon itself while continuing on its course. Would a drone be able to recover after being seemingly hit and spun around? The object also doesn’t appear to have an aerodynamic design.

Do you believe the government is engaged in a conspiracy to withhold information from the public about aliens and/or how we are outclassed technologically by some unknown entity?

Except it doesn’t. It spins around and then goes off on a markedly different course.  The debris from the impact that is picked up on this sensor also goes off on the same trajectory. And you can’t tell in this short clip about altitude and what happens next, it’s entirely possible that this thing is in the process of crashing. 

We at least have to share a common understanding of what we see; and this is not an object that sustains its original flight path after it’s been hit with a missile.

Militarily speaking yes… or withholding things that are much more highly advanced than what we would deem attainable with our known tech.

Are we watching the same thing? It also appears to have no clearly defined outline after being struck. It appears very stable prior to contact of missile.
