I spent my childhood around New Mexico, my family also knew a handful of scientists out at the labs. We heard a lot of funny stories.
I wouldn’t be surprised at all if some gov tech was testing against the Navy. But I also wouldn’t be surprised if we just don’t have a clue.
My uneducated, completely bonkers guesses would be plasma stealth drones or multibeam lasers.
I knew several scientists in the 90s that worked on lasers to create floating hotspots, weapons targeting, and to create artificial chaff.
Plasma stealth has also been in development by the Russians for a long time - perhaps someone was testing such systems also. The idea is to inject plasma around a craft - and also to possibly use it for propulsion in an magnétohydrodynamique drive. Glowing white ball would be an apt description.
Again - it’s all purely speculative and sci-fi. I wouldn’t rule out aliens - but it’s really the last possibility simply because the probability is basically almost zero just due to distance, cost, and energy.
- deepnotderp 7y agoMy bet is also that it is a hypersonic plasma stealth drone. Plasma injection also reduces drag and aerodynamic heating if done right, that would also explain the anomalous thermal signature. especially at hypersonic velocities Being a drone would explain accelerations that would kill humans.
- Recurecur 7y ago"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! request: Provide a way to do decent lists!
- deepnotderp 7y agoI can't explain 2 and 3, but the rest can all be explained by plasma cloaking.
- deepnotderp 7y agoPlasma cloaking and MHD control can be used for wingless aerodynamic control.
