" IF some thousand foot long aircraft WAS flying 3,000 mph at 3,500 ft altitude it probably got the attention of everyone in the area."

The sonic booms alone, would flatten all the cedar trees on the ranch.

That assumes the purported vehicle displaces air in an ordinary manner. But any technology that can move as quickly as these things supposedly do would have to find some innovative way to eliminate atmospheric drag. Which I can’t imagine how it could be done. Of course imaginary objects can travel at the speed of thought, so that’s a possibility too. :)

Unless it had some kind of warp drive, in which case there would be no sonic boom.
