Indeed, one would think rapid acceleration combined with the alleged size of the object, it should have exhibited a distinct audible trail. Curiously, this is nothing new. Many UFOs that have been witnessed to accelerate, seemingly instantly, to tremendous speeds remain oddly silent. At present I don't think the projection technology theory is a viable one. I don't think it adequately explains why starlight was seen to be occluded by the object. That was how the investigators determined the apparent 900 feet diameter of the object - by the stars that were eclipsed by something opaque.
