Or the missile missed and the explosion happens between the UFO and the camera.

Likely, like in the 1960's UK "Dan Dare" comic strip space stories, the author
imagined that the future would yield jet or rocket fuel several times more
powerful for weight or bulk than any that we have now.

If you mean the USAAF, say so, I am British, and to me "Air Force" without
more description means the RAF.

The X-15 wasn't any normal plane, it was a missile with a cockpit. It had a
rocket motor like a missile. It had round its back end 4 equal fins like a
missile; the underneath fin had to be jettisoned for landing. It didn't take
off but had to be launched from a plane in the air like it was a missile.

Not exactly on topic - but it hasn't been the USAAF since Sept 8, 1947.
