so the moon teams in real life would be rated in UFO as travelling at speed SOL o.38.....? is that correct?
also if there are black holes then faster than light speed and forces do exist. hawkings radiation would have to travel faster than light to escape the pocket dimension of the interior of the black hole.
also when stars collapse and explode into nebulas , never reaching the infinite mass of a black hole, the explosive force creates ripples in the matter expelled, showing us that faster than light speeds are proved by the demonstration of the patterns left as these whatevertons pass up the light from the star that exploded, and leave those shockwave ripples behind them.
[reference the recent star nursery expositions in wikipedia and nasa galleryapril 2011.]

all i can think of for the UFOs taking less time to slow down is a earth orbit around and around to slow down until they are probably under mach 2-3 and then land. but straker projected a course right pinpoint to where they came in from space at sol8. so i guess sometimes they are speeding past the moon and then slow down in the 250 thousand miles or so to mach 3 thereabouts. that would mean  a decline so rapid that radar would not be able to track them as the slow down. they would appear as transient irregular blips. i would say slamming on the brakes like that would require about 8 g's at least on the pilots, if they had no kind of internal compensaters. maybe thats why they spin. to keep the inside cabin isolated from the exterior. i was watching things fall away undamaged from exploding UFOs on the show and that also seems to be a factor. an isolated cabin interior would keep damage away from the contents when the exterior exploded. as with the
 body canisters and ufonauts that escape.
 i know most of this is conjecture, but there are things that are consistant that can be counted in as substantial evidence for a theory, such as the tapes on shado control computers are a mix of chromium and petrolium to imprint magnetic stripes on. there is no evidence in cannon for that, but it can be reasonably assumed.

Hey Jim,

The local gravity field would affect the g forces in a climb or a dive, but the figures in a tight corner would be the about the same as on Earth.

I agree, most of the time, the UFOs were following a straight course, except for a few exceptions. The one that comes to mind is in "The Man Who Came Back" where one of the three attacking UFOs veers away and makes an attack run on SID. Lake ordered one of the interceptors to change course and follow. Even though the last reported speed from SID was SOL 6, it had to have reduced to sublight velocity by the time it passed the moon.

It took the Apollo Astronauts three days to traverse the quarter of a million miles between the Earth and the Moon. SHADO does it much quicker, so they must have some method of dampining the acceleration forces as well as having a way to make abrupt and rapid course corrections. As cool as they look on the screen, the space battles with the fighters making hairpin turns and aerobatic maneuvers in space is unrealistic with a coventional propulsion system.

To give an idea of the incredible speeds and distances we are talking about, consider that it takes a radio signal (or light) about 1 1/4 seconds to travel from the Earth to the Moon. One of the methods of communications used in Amateur Radio, (one of my other hobbies) is called EME or Earth-Moon-Earth. Using high power transmitters and highly directional antennas, a radio signal is bouced off the surface of the Moon and received by another station halfway arond the world. In addition you are able to hear your own signal 2 1/2 seconds after you send it. That's cool!

My point is radio and light travel at 186,000 miles per second. By comparision, an Apollo mission was traveling at about 34,000 miles per hour at the time of the S-IV-B shutdown. The speed of light is fast, but the universe is a mighty big place. *grin*
