One of the supposedly sensational videos showing UFOs released by the Department of War actually showed a Boy Scout balloon being blown apart by a $500,000 missile.

, blowing it to smithereens with what was likely an AIM-9 Sidewinder missile, according to video released last month by the Department of War as part of its second batch of UFO files. The 45-second clip shows a black “orb” with a dangling string in the fighter jet’s crosshairs for just a few seconds before it is blown apart.

“The F16 shot at a balloon over Lake Huron. After the balloon embarrassment, DOD was shooting at every they detected,” Tim Phillips, a former interim director of AARO, told The Post. The object belonged to a Boy Scout troop, according to Sean Kirkpatrick, a former head of the federal All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO.

“ had circumnavigated the globe eight times before we shot it down with a half-million-dollar missile,” Kirkpatrick said at a conference on April 27.

Many of the supposed UFO videos produced by the military, some of which are being released by the Trump administration, depict standard manmade objects that were misidentified by Reaper drones operators.

“They’ve been on mission and they’ve got to get back to base to rearm and refuel. And you’ve got a bored operator looking around. And they pick something up and aren’t sure what it is,” Phillips said.

“We’re actually seeing, good reporting coming out of the fleet, coming out of the operation wings and squadrons, where they’re willing to report this stuff. And this is part of that outreach where we get our scientists to talk to the Reaper operators and actually go side by side and try to do some education,” he said. U.S. Department of War
