3, 2, 1 — and it’s gone.
With unimaginable speed, this unmanned creature launches forward, almost invisible to the naked eye.
Speeds exceeding Mach 1 have been recorded, sonic booms tearing through the air in its wake.
Blink — and you miss it.
Almost nothing is known about this being.
That is why it bears the name: Defying Gravity.
No one knows where it comes from or where it is headed.
Communication is impossible.
Scholars and scientists have deployed vehicles and aircraft in attempts to keep pace with it — nothing works.
Every time they believe they are finally closing in, it accelerates once more and vanishes beyond reach.
