New info from a pilot involved: - The object had been tracked for 2 weeks by radar, SPY-1 (ship) and E-2 (AWACS aircraft) - Pilot made visual contact with the tic tac from above, watching it move over the water - There was a cross-shaped wake under it - It jammed their radar when they attempted a lock, which is why they switched to passive tracking (IR) - Visual estimate of the speed puts it at faster than mach 3 (SR-71), with instantaneous acceleration
