top ten things i love about U.F.O.

I always assumed they were flying a hyperbolic course rather than a straight line as the distance reported by SID didn't seem to match up with the velocity that the UFOs were reported to be traveling. A UFO traveling at SOL 8 could traverse the distance between the Earth and the Sun (93 million miles, give or take) in about one minute. They could have been using the gravity well of the Sun to decelerate although the distances reported by SID should increase as the UFO travels around the farside of the Sun.

I agree that some type of internal dampening would be needed.

Science fiction, it's all speculation and conjecture, that's what makes it fun! :)

if you had a few thosuand feet, you could draw that hyperbolic course as they entered the solar system at sol8 and then in the distance from the moon to earth which would be about 3/4's of an inch long, it would then appear to be a straight line.
