Figure 3
An analysis of Senior Chief Day’s radar observations. (A). The posterior probability indicates the maximum likelihood estimate of the acceleration to be 5600+2270−1190g. (B). The accelerations obtained by sampling resulted in the most probable acceleration of 5370+1430−820g while the mean acceleration is 5950g (black dotted line). (C). The power output of the UAP, assumed to have a mass of 1000kg, as a function of time indicates a peak power of about 1100GW.
Figure 3C illustrates the power required to accelerate the UAV as a function of time, assuming that the UAV is propelled in a conventional way.
The required power peaks at a shocking 1100GW, which exceeds the total nuclear power production of the United States by more than a factor of ten. For comparison, the largest nuclear power plant in the United States, the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Arizona, provides about 3.3GW of power for about four million people [24].
