My comment was more on the notion of the mastery of time travel as alluded to by Spooky. As it relates to your response, I certainly won't deny that these objects have incredible acceleration. The one I saw went from Fairmont Hot Springs to Radium Hot Springs in less than the time it takes to snap your fingers. Had that thing been on film it would have disappeared between frames just like you describe. It's why I know from personal experience that UFOs ( alien craft ) are real. This was back in the 70s and there was nothing we had back then that could do what that thing did ( Maybe today ... but still very unlikely ).I never said anything about "backwards time travel and sci-fi plots." What Ray seems to have discovered is the apparent ability of these craft to cover amazing distances and maneuvers in less than the blink of an eye. "Time-compression" is only a term, but in theory, evidence of this apparent technology (that Ray's analysis has captured—with numerous examples) may now have been ID'd.
Plus there is also the possibility of active camouflage. Just flick the switch and presto ... gone ! Also, if these craft use some kind of anti-gravity drive, Spooky is correct to the degree that time and gravity are linked. So being just a little "out of phase" with the surrounding time because of the antigravity field isn't really all that far fetched, and "time compression" might even be a suitable way of describing it. Perhaps it's what gives rise to not only their propulsion system, but also their active camouflage. I know this also sounds like sci-fi technobabble, but it's actually all quite sound in theory.
