Do you honestly expect the user to actually know how they operate? Of course it's going to just be a hypothesis, there are tons of science hypothesis that are basically taken as fact by the science people.
The reported sighting reminds me of my 1 of 2 --- 10 p.m., November, 1976 UFO sighting --- approx. 40 miles west of Washington D.C. ---- where the possible alien starship was flying at extreme speed [approx. 12,000 mph in our atmosphere], while encased in a bluish-white hi-power plasma phase.

That doesn't sound like he was hypothesizing. Aside from seemingly knowing enough about the tech to know it was encased in plasma, he also somehow knew how fast it was moving without knowing its altitude.
If all he could see of it is that it was a bright light, then he would only know its relative brightness, relative size, and relative speed -- all relative to how those characteristics looked from his vantage point. However, it could have been higher than he thought, which means it was brighter, larger, and faster. If it was at a lower altitude, then it may have been relatively dimmer and slower than he thought...
...basically I'm saying you cannot accurately judge altitude of a single light, and without being able to judge altitude, you can't judge speed.
So the OP's declarative opening statements should not have been so declarative.
Roadgravel made his comment
Right. Seems everyone knows about alien technology
To which the OP replied:
Since my 1976 UFO sighting [and other peoples sightings as well]...I've had a lot of years to hypothesize on how alien starships tick.
Roadgravel responded with:
hypothesize does not equal fact. But the UFO people like to overlook that idea.
This is where I commented.
The OP does have a hypothesis about how alien starships tick.
How do you know that the OP can't accurately judge altitude or speed? That's a pretty bold assumption.

It gave off a distinct bluish glow all around it. The glow was very oddly distorted though. It wasn't really in a circle around it. It was almost like a rough square.
It made a very high pitched sound, almost like a really quiet whistle. I was so shocked and as soon as I got back home, I knew I had to share this experience.

No. It's a fact.
A light in the sky offers no means of determining altitude or distance by sight. Without determining distance is it not possible to determine speed.

So you sighted something unidentified and that somehow gives you credibility on how alien starships operate?
I don't get it, did you witness a UFO or alien starship in 76?

Call it what you want...I call mine a genuine close encounter of a foofighter --- both in it's high power bluish-white phase and it's low power reddish-orange [landing phase] fusion plasma phase [about 1 mile away] --- with my own telepathic sense of his lordship's presence; in a starship that was somewhere above our heads [two other witnesses].

If you assume that these lighted UFO objects must have light to perform aerial maneuvers in our atmosphere, then it's a no-brainer to assume that they need lighted fusion plasma to power a photon engine in places that lack starlight.

So you were communicating with it telepathically now?

Fusion plasma?

You seem to make quite a few assumptions about what you saw. Such assumptions can result in distorted perceptions. Our minds play tricks with what our eyes see. One mistaken assumption in a chain of assumptions causes the chain to disintegrate but our minds will fill in the blanks and disregard other clues in an attempt to maintain the chain. It's called confirmation bias.
The foofighter was close enough for me, and to hell with J. Allen Hynek!!!
About 1 minute after I observed the speeding bluish-white light [about 1 second], and after my possible telepathic experience with the entity, a large [approx. 500-700 feet in diameter] reddish-orange ball of fusion plasma [with no fiery tail], emerged from the low lying cloud cover --- about 1 mile away from us, towards the east --- made a straight perpendicular descent [approx. 30 mph] to earth --- while lighting up the whole eastern sky, mountain range and valley below us --- and possibly landed just beyond the mountain range [about 1 mile away].

According to my speculation...they perform such feats with a photon engine power plant,
Cool.
What's a photon engine?
