AARO GoFast Case Resolution (mirror)

The Black Vault · 2025-02 · 26 pages · text from the file's own layer

This is a case resolution report from the U.S. Department of Defense's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), dated February 6, 2025. It covers the January 2015 "Go Fast" infrared video that a Navy F/A-18F recorded off Florida. AARO worked only from the public video and found the object was at about 13,000 feet, not near the ocean surface, and moved at roughly 5 to 92 mph. The report attributes the apparent high speed to motion parallax and states with high confidence that the object showed no anomalous performance.

Figure 15: The y axis values are the difference between the heading of the UAP and the wind direction at the
altitude of the UAP. The x axis values are the heading of the wind with respect to the F/A-18. The tailwind,
headwind, and crosswinds are the colored lines.
