Panzer, the amount of burst acceleration demonstrated in some of these videos is essentially impossible with today's technology without telltale wakes and exhaust trails--none of which we see. While it is easy to scoff and dismiss these as top secret military excursions, when air force pilots themselves can't figure out what the hell they are looking at, then they have my attention.
You are talking about technology that you are aware of. Also, the average AF pilot has not a clue what is in development or in experimental stages.
No, but he has a fairly intimate acquaintance with the physics of flight.
So does a hummingbird.
Inertia. A hummingbird has very little to overcome. How much energy would be required to let an F18 move with the inertia of a hummingbird and also protect the pilot from virtually instantaneous acceleration?
How do we know these are the size of and F-18, and how do we know they have a pilot?
