I DID try it, but I do stand corrected. Not infinite, but with a high enough acceleration to plaster an earthling pilot to the inside of the windshield like an insect. Kinda like cruising along in a car and shifting from overdrive into reverse. But UFO transmissions are probably made from some advanced materials that can take this kind of abuse, so I'm o.k. with it.
