Inside lunar triangle, STS-48 anomaly: The footage the Pentagon has not explained | Reality Check
"If it was at the horizon, then the acceleration would have to be 18,000 G's and a final velocity of around 430,000 miles per hour. Anything from 100 miles up to the horizon indicates propulsive capabilities vastly beyond anything that humans are capable of."
Dr. Jack Kasher's peer-reviewed analysis of 1991 Space Shuttle STS-48 footage calculated that if the main UAP was at the horizon as evidence suggests, it would require 18,000 G-force acceleration and reach 430,000 mph after what appeared to be projectiles fired from Earth. The object made an abrupt 45-degree turn, stopped for half a second, then shot into space, behavior incompatible with NASA's ice particle explanation.
