What I think it is and why: magnetoplasmadynamic emitters arranged radially on a roughly 1.5m sphere. All firing creates a balanced pressure equilibrium. To translate it throttles down the emitters on the side it wants to move toward. At least this could explain the reported zigzag movement by many UAP sightings. Patents I found that could theoretically cover this: US10689108B2 — omnidirectional thrust vectoring UAV (with propellers) US20210300599 — radially divided plasma chambers, individually throttled US6145298A — atmospheric ion engine using ambient air as propellant OR even better and newer (December 2025) Chinese HTS-MPD thruster, 320 mN at 12 kW, Isp 3265 s Lockheed Martins Multi Kill Vehicle acts like that a bit but with conventional jets, it was already discussed here and I think that it is outright obvious that this is a more advanced version of the same idea. Instead of pushing itself around like the LM vehicle this one has a much more stable way of movement as it doesn’t conventionally push itself into one direction but rather uses all emitters together to synergetically stabilize the vehicle which makes it appear to„hover“/stand still. ‚ Ok, but how tf is this astronomical bullshit powered? Six emitters like the Chinese ones need roughly 72 kW continuous. No public battery does this at 1.5m scale. Two real candidates: A compact fission microreactor. The US (Project Pele), Russia, and China all have active miniaturized fission programs. The Pais "compact fusion" patents (US10135366B2). I'd treat these with skepticism as Pais himself isn't a credible source and the NAWCAD tests came back inconclusive. Why? It aligns with 2 and more major UAP sightings. 2013 Pentagon DOW-UAP-PR38 and the Ukrainian footage both show a compact hot core with radial spikes that have internal thermal gradient rather than clean optical lines. The Ukrainian footage shows a large asymmetric downward plume, like a fog, which is exactly what active downward thrust like that would produce.
