Charles Buhler is an electrostatics engineer at NASA's Kennedy Space Center and the president of the Electrostatics Society of America. With engineer Andrew Aurigema, who spent 25 years on the shuttle program, he has spent years building a propulsion system that moves without fuel. So when Danny asks the two of them what they make of the Navy's Tic Tac footage, the answer lands differently than the usual UFO take: Buhler does not believe a human being built it, and he does not believe a human being is close. The arithmetic is what makes his case. Sea level to 80,000 feet in a second is roughly 10,000 Gs. At 10,000 Gs a pilot is, in Aurigema's words, a smear on the back bulkhead, and any piece of metal you subject to it is crushed. Both men agree there is no alloy on Earth that survives those loads. So either the footage is wrong, or something out there has solved static inertia, which is a separate problem from propulsion entirely.
