That thing is hauling ass. After my prior post I noodled about with the field of view and time and it’s moving at least 300 miles an hour. It is definitely NOT a bird... and I was conservative. I calculate field of view at the rocket at 750 feet and the objects in view time as 1.5 seconds.

After viewing all three of the videos and went back and watched again several more times, it really clicked, if this can be done apparently very easily, think what's being done in other instances all over the world. Scary stuff!

A buddy of mine got into racing drones and their construction a while back. He designs the frames of his and then has them machined out of carbon fiber. He’s got drones pushing 200 mph that cost less than 200 bucks to assemble, and they’re flown by VR headset, so it’s like you’re in the cockpit when flying it. I can imagine for a few grand and no concern over the regulatory environment you could crank out some ferocious unmanned aircraft.

Run the math. 750 ft/1.5 sec —> 500 ft/sec. Now 60 mph== 88 ft/sec. Very rough estimation,6*88 =528 ft /sec, close enough for teh interwebz. So that’s 6*60mph=360 mph.
