    Interesting indeed but very odd behavior from both objects… I feel like I am getting a heavy parallax effect (similar to the duck/goose ufo mil-tracking video) which is skewing my perception.

    Edit: The zoomed out part adds another angle to this for sure… being from the drones this is post-processing video right? Or is this the raw feed?

      Best guess…

      The observing reaper and object are flying away from the firing reaper. The rocket is moving at an angle towards the object.

      Yes, if the missile is coming from the same aircraft that is guiding it, it will follow a similar path to the line the laser (and camera) is looking. The missile can still be going near the speed of sound and appear motionless in the camera because all of its speed is directly away from the POV of the camera

    It doesn’t even appear to have impacted the target? By that I mean, if it made positive contact wouldn’t it have exploded? It appears to my uneducated eye that it passes through the object. Clearly the object is affected by this and the missile seems to fly right through it and continue. Send it to the corridor crew people, they debunk videos like this.

          It’s what I would put money on, but I want it to be something extraordinary/unknown. those fragments that emerge post-impact really don’t behave like impact debris to my eye. The way the 3 additional objects emerge appears like controlled movement to me, with a fourth dimmer object between them all. and it could be that it’s all just falling debris post impact with a strange perspective, but it appears to change trajectory after the view switches to wide-field . these videos are always so ambiguous, which is suspicious in itself.
