Just real quick...
2000 * 9.81 m/s^2 = 19,620 m/s^2
v=at
After t=3s the “alien” craft will be doing 58,860 m/s = 58.86 km/s = 36.56 mi/s = 131,612 mi/hr.
Assuming an initial distance of about 10 mi, calculate the angular rate of said object from an airborne radar initially perpendicular to the object at that distance. Then find me a radar which has anything remotely approaching that kind of angular slew rate capability, either mechanical or electrical (phased array).
Tell me how the F-18 tracked said object for more then a second under these conditions, and where you come up with the alleged performance.
Sworn testimony from an Air Force Commander convince you?
Or he he now part of the conspiracy? See how this works? I give evidence and you’re incapable of incorporating into your world view due to reaction formation.
Commander FRAVOR. Abruptly, very determinant. It knew ex-
actly what it was doing. It was aware of our presence and it had
acceleration rates—I mean, it went from zero to matching our
speed in no time at all.
Mr. LANGWORTHY. Now, if the fastest plane on Earth was trained
to do these maneuvers that you saw, would it be capable of doing
that?
Commander FRAVOR. No, not even close.
Mr. LANGWORTHY. And just to confirm, this object had no wings,
correct?
Commander FRAVOR. No wings.
Mr. LANGWORTHY. Now, was the aircraft that you were flying
was it armed?
Commander FRAVOR. No, and never felt threatened at all.
Mr. LANGWORTHY. If the aircraft was armed do you believe that
your aircraft or any aircraft in possession of the United States
could have shot the Tic Tac down?
Commander FRAVOR. I would say no, just on the performance. It
would have just left in a split second

Or this guy:
Luis Elizondo (01:25:40):
Ma’am, I’m not qualified, certainly as a scientist or otherwise, to speculate points of origin, I looked at everything from a scientific perspective. So if you look at, for example, instantaneous acceleration, which was one of the observables of the program that I belong to, ATIP, the human body can withstand about nine G-forces for a short period of time before you suffer negative biological consequences, blackouts and ultimately redouts, and even death. Comparison, our best technology, the F-16, which is one… It’s an older platform, but one of our most highly maneuverable aircraft, manned aircraft made by General Dynamics, can perform about 17 or 18 G-forces before you start having structural failure, meaning that the airframe begins to disintegrate while you’re flying. The vehicles we’re talking about are performing in excess of 1000, 2000, 3000 Gs.

Let me be clear: UAP are real. Advanced technologies not made by
our Government – or any other government – are monitoring sensitive
military installations around the globe. Furthermore, the U.S. is in
possession of UAP technologies, as are some of our adversaries. I
believe we are in the midst of a multi-decade, secretive arms race—
one funded by misallocated taxpayer dollars and hidden from our
elected representatives and oversight bodies.
For many years, I was entrusted with protecting some of our nation’s
most sensitive programs. In my last position, I managed a Special
Access Program on behalf of the White House and the National
Security Council. As such, I appreciate the need to protect certain
sensitive intelligence and military information. I consider my oath to
protect secrets as sacred and will always put the safety of the
American people first. With that said, I also understand the
consequences of excessive secrecy and stove-piping. Nowhere was
this more apparent than in the aftermath of 9/11, which many of us
remember all too well.

And, as the Bard puts it:
“There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
Object was tracked at point A then reaquired at point B at 10 miles which is a rather large FOV. You have time and distance which gives you speed.
F-18 radars (like most radars) can track multiple targets at one time so losing a target and then requiring the same target in the same FOV happens often... Like a tracked aircraft goes behind a mountain, track is lost, the reaquired when it emerges from the other side.
As for speeds, the Mass Solar Probe became the fastest human-made object ever recorded on Sept. 27 2023, the probe reached 394,736 mph/ (635,266 km/h) as it came close to the sun’s surface, thanks to a little gravity assistance from a close flyby of Venus on Aug. 21 2023 . With this approach to the sun, the probe smashed its own previous speed record of 364,660 mph (586,863 kmh), set in Nov. 2021.
So humans have figured out how to achieve these speeds with a little creativity.
