GoFast Case Resolution

All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office · 26 pages · text from the file's own layer

The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office of the U.S. Department of Defense issued this case resolution on the "Go Fast" video on February 6, 2025. It covers a January 2015 FLIR recording made by a U.S. Navy F/A-18F off Florida's eastern coast. From the public 34-second video, AARO puts the object at about 13,000 feet, moving at 5 to 92 mph relative to the wind. It attributes the apparent high speed to motion parallax and has high confidence 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.
