I remember scramjets in Popular Mechanics 30 years ago, but nothing seemed to materialize.
Off-topic to scramjets but potentially military-related: Making a big stretch by assuming the "white Tic-Tac" isn't an elaborate hoax to get adversaries to overspend on propulsion technologies and/or troll the public, what type of propulsion could allow it to accelerate so quickly? Casimir effect thruster?
