Here's the video. I think it's real.

I dunno, that flight time is awful long. I may be wrong though.

Seeing as the poster of the video is claiming it to be a sabot round when it isn't discredits anything he has to say.

When I was referring to the sabot, it was in regards to the 5500fps velocity, THAT speed has to be a sabot. I can't see the tank gif at work, but if I'm not mistaken it was low profile, I didn't pay attention to it but it was probably a T90 since i remember it being low profile. My guess is you guys are probably right and it's one of the retractable fin projectiles.

You fuckers keep talking about that and ignore the X-15? For shame.

Recognize... Awesome record setter, also killed a pilot. Sad story:

An excerpt from NASA's biography page on Mike Adams discusses findings from the crash investigation:

Ground parties scoured the countryside looking for wreckage; critical to the investigation was the film from the cockpit camera. The weekend after the accident, an unofficial FRC search party found the camera; disappointingly, the film cartridge was nowhere in sight. Engineers theorized that the film cassette, being lighter than the camera, might be further away, blown north by winds at altitude. FRC engineer Victor Horton organized a search and on 29 November, during the first pass over the area, Willard E. Dives found the cassette. Most puzzling was Adams' complete lack of awareness of major heading deviations in spite of accurately functioning cockpit instrumentation. The accident board concluded that he had allowed the aircraft to deviate as the result of a combination of distraction, misinterpretation of his instrumentation display, and possible vertigo. The electrical disturbance early in the flight degraded the overall effectiveness of the aircraft's control system and further added to pilot workload. The MH-96 adaptive control system then caused the airplane to break up during reentry.

Came back into the upper atmosphere 15 degrees off the proper heading and when he hit the more dense air it threw the plane into a spin killing him.

The X-5 went 6,627fps at it's fastest run. That is more than twice the speed of a rifle bullet.
