Curious as to what others here think about the idea that the Tic Tac UFO could be some sort of high energy particle beam being controlled from the ground?

My mom unfortunately passed from cancer, but she was able to get proton beam therapy for a tumor that would have been inaccessible with traditional radiation. This, as I understand it, is because a proton beam sheds the majority of it's energy at the very end of it's flight, allowing internal tissues to be targeted more directly.

I wonder - what would it look like if you made a proton beam and pointed it to the sky? Could you create a glowing area, much like the Tic Tac, that could be used to throw off enemy radar? I am legitimately curious, as my physics background is so so at best.

Those 'things' fly at hologram speeds, turn hologram corners. Given a relatively stable atmosphere (on some days), could the 'Bragg Peak' be controlled enough? Radar signature? Interesting hypothesis.

Yep. I had this thought from the very beginning. It checks all the boxes for me because I had a personal experience with the exact same thing as what's being popularly described, a white glowing bouncing ping pong ball object moving very very erratically in the night sky. Iv'e commented a few times about it but I found this interesting, Advances in Radar Techniques. (https://www.google.com/books/edition/Advances_in_Radar_Techn...) which says that one of the most recent advances is the ability to detect holograms. It's a bit curious considering everything.
