I wonder... Could you project an image into the atmosphere via satellite.

Maybe this was just an image.

It accelerated with apparently 0 mass. It left no exhaust plumes. It was invisible to radar EVEN as they got close.

Fit's all the criteria for something that isn't really even there.

I'm thinking if you concentrate 10 powerful lasers at one point in the atmosphere it would be possible to generate a plasma that could be moved around at speeds that would be impossible for an aircraft. What I don't know is if that would be detectable via radar, which supposedly this phenomenon is.

Wasn't it captured on radar? That should eliminate this possibility

Yes, you can detect projections via radar. This projections aspect was also my thought on this for a while and I did some research on it. I’ll append the link to the paper later. Another thing that comes to mind is there was a post here recently that talked about concentrated laser beams technology which looks interesting to consider.

Probably the easiest way to explain the erratic behavior.
