The Princeton picked the object up at 80,000 ft because that was the upper limit of its radar. This suggests that the object was coming in from a higher altitude.
Pretty lethal to any organisms we know about.
Here’s the math:
First, let’s convert our units to consistent measures:
Initial height: 80,000 ft = 24,384 meters
Time: 7/8 = 0.875 seconds
Speed: 60,000 mph = 26,822 m/s
Assuming this is happening near sea level and the object reaches the water, the key is to find the acceleration.
Using the equations of motion:
Final velocity: 26,822 m/s
Initial velocity: Let’s assume it starts from the stated speed
Distance: 24,384 m
Time: 0.875 s
The average acceleration would be:
a = (v₂ - v₁)/t
In this case, we’re primarily looking at vertical acceleration against gravity
The change in vertical velocity over this distance in 0.875 seconds
This gives us approximately 27,867 m/s²
To convert to G-forces:
1 G = 9.81 m/s²
27,867/9.81 = approximately 2,841 G’s
This level of G-force would be catastrophic for any living organisms. For context, trained fighter pilots can typically handle up to 9 G’s for very brief periods with special equipment. Even advanced mechanical systems would face extreme stress under such forces.
I believe the skeptic on here are left saying the military personnel who testified under oath are lying the the videos are faked. Right?
