Okay touche lol. I believe it will be hard to find a comparable video for this even with knowledge of what fuel is being used, ofcourse we wouldn't be debating this if it wasn't

What everybody seems to be ignoring is the video was shot at White Sands missile range , why is it so hard to believe that what we are seeing is a missile being tested at a missile range ?
Here's a picture of another missile at White Sands , imagine it horizontal and it kinda looks familiar ... no ?

As previously written, it has to do with the facts fitting the theory - or not.
i don't believe that was a missile either, pretty bad missile if it doesn't explode on impact.

I'm no expert but two things don't seem right for it to be a missile. First is as someone else said if it was a missile surely it would of been destroyed in the first impact there seems to be no change in movement after the impact too. Secondly I could be totally wrong but at the very start of the video the flight path of the "UFO" seems to decend and then try and pull up before it hit the ground if you get me. I could be completely wrong

Always thought it was a bit funny and ironic though that the Genesis return probe shape is completely typical of the 40's-70's Flying saucer. And to me gave a bit of credence to the design of those ships as we ended up designing re-entry vehicles this shape! But nobody discusses that cause it is so easily de-bunked as um…coincidence. LOL...
In the United States, H. Julian Allen and A. J. Eggers, Jr. of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) made the counterintuitive discovery in 1951[3] that a blunt shape (high drag) made the most effective heat shield. From simple engineering principles, Allen and Eggers showed that the heat load experienced by an entry vehicle was inversely proportional to the drag coefficient, i.e. the greater the drag, the less the heat load. Through making the reentry vehicle blunt, air cannot "get out of the way" quickly enough, and acts as an air cushion to push the shock wave and heated shock layer forward (away from the vehicle). Since most of the hot gases are no longer in direct contact with the vehicle, the heat energy would stay in the shocked gas and simply move around the vehicle to later dissipate into the atmosphere.
Their angle isnt correct, making their rocket more likely bouncing off the ground since it didn't have a stepper angle.
Wouldn't it be obvious to carry out secret projects or whatever you want to call them at missile test sites?
