In the video it appears to be moving faster than a jet. That seems unlikely behavior for a Mylar balloon, no? On the other hand a sphere seems like a terrible geometry for atmospheric flight no matter your technology for propulsion.
- thesuperbigfrog 3y ago>> a sphere seems like a terrible geometry for atmospheric flight no matter your technology for propulsion. Only if you do not have a "friction negation" field for your air/spacecraft. >> it appears to be moving faster than a jet. From the article: "Graves and at least 50-60 fellow naval aviators observed unknown objects, frequently via multiple sensors, that remained stationary over the ground even in hurricane-force winds, or traveled at speeds faster than sound." With negated friction it does not matter what the shape is, you can go fast.
