      \textit{V. Gritsenko} and \textit{K. Hulek} [J. Algebr. Geom. 23, No. 4, 711--725 (2014; Zbl 1309.14030)] showed that some orthogonal modular varieties are uniruled. They used reflective modular forms and the numerical criterion of uniruledness. In the present paper, the author applies this method to ball quotients associated with Hermitian forms of signatures \((1, 3)\), \((1, 4)\), and \((1, 5)\), and shows that some of them are uniruled. In particular, he gives examples of Hermitian lattices over the rings of integers of imaginary quadratic fields \(\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})\) and \(\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-2})\) for which the associated ball quotients are uniruled.
