Is This A Pic Of Donuts On A Rope?

This is a pic I took with my cell phone, over my parents house, Fredericksburg VA on 7-15-07 around 7pm. Does this show the famous donuts on a rope contrail?

That type of contrail is reportedly made by the "Aurora" which is said to be a top secret airplane that can fly at MACH 8+. Only time will tell.

Nope, that's not it. The donuts on a rope are really regular. This is a standard sort of contrail that probably has to do more with recycling air or temperature changes in the exhaust. That ain't it, though. See the difference?

Could a human even stand the G-forces at mach 8?

If the acceleration was slow enough absolutely.

to add to that ...

constant velocity exerts no G-force ... acceleration (positive or negative) is the G-force ... the force of gravity is our acceleration towards the center of the planet at 9.86 m/s/s.

Pilots can handle quite a few Gs for a certain amount of time, so, as long as the ship is designed not to exceed the human's limits with specialized gear to increase those limits, that is all that matters. Once they reach speed, there is no longer a force (other than gravity itself). The specialized gear I speak of is suits designed to squeeze on the extremities to help keep blood going to the head, as well as the pilots themselves squeezing the muscles ... I remember this quite some time ago on a special. They talked about maneuvers in jets and dogfighting. Interesting stuff. I believe oxygen helps too Correct me if that show was wrong, please.
