The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office of the U.S. Department of Defense issued this case resolution on February 6, 2025, with a technical appendix, on the "Go Fast" video recorded by a U.S. Navy F/A-18F FLIR sensor off Florida in January 2015. Working from the public 34-second video, AARO puts the object at about 13,000 feet, moving roughly 5 to 92 mph once wind is accounted for. It concludes with high confidence that the object showed no anomalous performance and that its apparent speed came from motion parallax.
UNCLASSIFIED 15 UNCLASSIFIED Figure 8: The sensor elevation “change frame” data points are plotted vs frame time. The dotted line was fit to the points to estimate the elevation for all frames in the time interval. Figure 9: The range to target “change frame” data points are plotted vs frame time. The dotted line was fit to the points to estimate the range for all frames in the time interval. With values estimated for all frames and times, the vector rotation and point translation methodology described in the previous section were applied to find the UAP’s three-dimensional flight path. The resulting path through the x-y plane is plotted in Figure 8. The UAP’s direction of travel is a relatively straight path from the top left to the bottom right. The altitude profile is provided in Figure 9 and shows the UAP rising about 10 m (30 ft) with a slow, curving descent
