This All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) case resolution from the U.S. Department of Defense is dated February 2025. It covers the "Go Fast" FLIR video, which a U.S. Navy F/A-18F recorded off Florida in January 2015. AARO found the object was at about 13,000 feet and moving between 5 and 92 mph once wind is accounted for. It assesses with high confidence that the object showed no anomalous performance and attributes the apparent high speed to motion parallax. A technical appendix explains the calculations.

UNCLASSIFIED 16 UNCLASSIFIED near the end. The bends at the end of both curves may indicate a slight change of direction but is more likely due to residual error in the estimation of the F/A-18 flight path. Figure 10: The position of the UAP in the x-y plane is shown over the time considered. The direction of flight is from the upper left to the lower right. Figure 11: The altitude of the UAP as a function of time indicates a slow rise over most of the path with a slight descent in the last few seconds. The beginning and end points of the path defined by Figures 8 and 9 were compared to the results from the end-point analysis in the previous section to verify the path calculations are consistent and that the methodology was correctly applied. The results are provided in Table II08Page determined to be Unclassified Reviewed by Chief of Staff, AARO IAW FY24 NDAA, Section 1841(a)(1)(C) Date: 2/14/2025
