Seen through instrumentation, aberrations or artefacts from the sensors, or even active jamming could explain the instantaneous acceleration

  That's true, but "abberations or artefacts" are more of a low-effort non-explanation than an explanation, and unlikely to satisfy anyone who isn't already skeptical. Active jamming is... the kind of role that a high-intensity two-photon laser would be being tested for.

    What would a "high-intensity two-photon laser" be? A two-photon X-ray laser?

      Ah, I don't mean that the laser outputs only two photons, but that it (might) be designed around 2-photon interactions, so if you have two very-high-intensity IR lasers and the beams meet at a point in space, that crossing point could locally ionize the air as though it consisted of a beam of photons with higher energy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-photon_physics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-photon_physics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_optics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_optics
