"Being a drone would explain accelerations that would kill humans."
It doesn't explain:
- Operations far from any support vehicles (no carrier like the F-18s had). Must be a nuclear/LENR/antimatter power source.
- Going from hover to high supersonic/hypersonic. No current hypersonic platform has anything like that capability
- The acceleration involved in the extremely rapid course change at the end of the one video has been estimated at "hundreds of Gs". That's far beyond the current highest performance missiles, which top out at a few tens of Gs. This is similar to several historical reports.
- The lack of conventional wings, control surfaces or visible windows/sensors
- The "field effect" visible around the object at times. There's no technology in the open literature like that.
I find these videos extremely convincing, and interesting!
Plasma injection also reduces drag and aerodynamic heating if done right, that would also explain the anomalous thermal signature.
especially at hypersonic velocities
