You laugh, but just watch our skies out here.
It’s not implausible. I’ve been seeing craft suddenly change direction (like 90 turns or spin and reverse) for a decade.
And some absolutely massive things that blot out large parts of the night sky and don’t make noise.
Given the acceleration, the energy at impact would probably leave a crater where everything on the lot had been. See, that’s why they call me Mister Sunshine! 😊
