Cargo aircraft takeoff length requirements were calculated in the same manner as the air carrier aircraft and are presented in Exhibit 3. Likewise, it is desirable to accommodate 100% of the cargo aircraft payload for maximum revenue potential. As shown, the cargo aircraft will require a runway length ranging from 8,000 feet for the B-757-200 and This13,900 feet for the B-727-200 aircraft.
Take-Off distance – 2,938 m (9,640 ft)
Runway required - Take-off 2100 m

Very interesting.
I wonder what was in that 727. Particularily since whatever it was didn't effect the plane it's self. I've heard of the govt possesing directed EMP sort of weapons. Maybe thats what this is. Also, The thing that crashed crashed right behind the Northrup plant. COuld be a black project drone missile or something that went off course and crashed.
The govt. has got some very exotic stuff that isn't back engineered from anything so who knows what crashed.

However, I did some checking on the Columbus Metropolitan Airport where the "white-wash" 727 was sighted and also on the 727 itself. It appears that there were several version of 727's developed.

From the posts it is mentioned that there were numerous sighting between 5 to 7 on 11-28. The first nuforc report states the date as 11-29 at 16:00. The reportee must have meant 11-28?
The later list of nuforc reports are all dated on 11-28 but the times are from 19:00 to 23:30. So these reports are sightings after the crash? Those last sightings are laid out in a clockwise spiral.

This is something I had been thinking too when I read your comment. Then I thought.. wrong, the Cessna Contenental or any piston plane uses magnetos. Magnetos use permanent magnets to generate an electrical pulse to power the spark plugs (this is redundant meaning 2 systems and two pulses for each power stroke). Cars us coils and battery charge. I don't recall pilots complaining that their engines stall when around UFOs- not a common complaint. Remember those first observations of UFOs and "foo fighters" were from piston planes that ran using magnetos. Although engine stall is a common thing with cars and UFOs. So the magneto is more of a mechanical vs electronic spark production and may not be affected as much by the phenomenon. How could we test this theory?
By Schuyler:
Cessnas use the same kind of engine and electronics. If this plane were responsible it could have easily knocked other planes on approach out of the sky. Not good, I would think
