Plasma driven USAF craft or Alien UFO?

They create a 'bubble' in simplistic terms that encapsulates the entire craft. So, at Mach 50 (50 times the speed of sound) the conditions within the bubble are the same as an aircraft travelling at Mach 3.

Think about it - do mach 50 speeds but only need materials able to withstand mach 3? thats mind bogglingly awesome.

Thanks, I got the idea of the bubble and the followed compression.
I just wonder exactly how that bubble is created.
