Lawmakers and witnesses stressed that no known U.S. technology could withstand a Hellfire strike.
"Are you aware of anything in the U.S. arsenal that can split a Hellfire missile like this…and do whatever blob thing it did, and then keep going?" Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., asked each witness.
Nuccetelli and Wiggins testified that no U.S. technology is capable of surviving such a strike.

Nuccetelli described the "Vandenberg Red Square," a 2003 incident at what is now Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. At the time, it was still an Air Force installation.
He recalled hearing chaos unfold over the radio. His friend screamed, "It’s coming right at us! It’s coming right for us!" Just moments later, he said he heard them say the object "shot off and was done."
Wiggins also recalled a "Tic Tac" encounter, noting the craft showed no "conventional propulsion signatures" as it left.
