THE NIGHT BEFORE: "Holy shit."

"There's no way."

"You're showing this tomorrow?"

Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.) puts his phone back in his pocket, smiling mischievously.

The video he just showed will rack up millions of views tomorrow and will change perceptions of the world.

It'll appear as breaking news on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News, BBC, Newsweek, and NewsNation websites, among so many other press outlets around the world.

But tonight, no one knows it's coming but a handful of us - two Air Force veterans, an active-duty Navy chief, a Hollywood filmmaker, a journalist, a whistleblower, two members of Congress, and a few others - all sitting around the table at a rooftop restaurant above the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, the National Mall, and the skyline of the nation's capital.

The video, filmed from a U.S. military MQ-9 drone off the coast of Yemen on Oct. 30, 2024, shows a Hellfire missile striking an unidentified flying object and bouncing off, as three seemingly identical orbs emerge from it, and continue flying information.

Veterans will testify before Congress tomorrow that they are unaware of anything that can split a Hellfire missile like this, or if they do, they prefer to answer only in a Sensitive Compartmented In formation Facility, or SCIF.

The video will be one of many revelations disclosed to Congress under oath by some of those around the table tonight:

Navy Chief Alexandro Wiggins, U.S. Army veterans Jeffrey Nuccetelli and Dylan Borland, and longtime investigative journalist George Knapp.
