While I know that I'll never be able to sit down with the intelligence analysts who looked at this video and sensor information, I really wish I could convene some sort of group to do just that.
I'd love to see some calculations on how much energy this UFO would have needed to perform the maneuvers it did. Whether there were any observable atmospheric effects like a wake even though there was no exhaust seen. Did it exhibit observable inertia, in other words did it move like bad movie special effects, or did it move like something real?
In the comments in the NYMag original article, one person wonders if it was the result of some advanced spoofing/decoy technology. I'm not sure what could cause what the sensors observed, but the idea seems interesting and brings a cause "down to Earth" so to speak.
- mark-r 7y agoYou would need to estimate mass before you could estimate energy. Any idea how you'd do that?
- bloopernova 7y agoNo idea at all! Maybe calculating for a range of different masses would then give a range of possible energies involved. Your point is pretty much why I'd like to see a bunch of experts dissect this phenomena. I want to see scientific rigor applied to this, and to see what conclusions can be drawn from the data available.
