The Pentagon announced they solved one of the most famous UFO videos that sparked a wave of national interest and speculation when it was first released in 2017.
An official from the Pentagon testified to Congress Tuesday about the wildly popular “GOFAST” video, saying that the attention was unwarranted for the footage once considered to be some of the best evidence of the reality of unidentified flying objects.
Dr. Jon Kosloski, director of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, said the object captured off the Florida coast by a Navy fighter jet appears to be moving so fast because of the perspectival phenomenon of a parallax.

“Through a very careful geospatial intelligence analysis and using trigonometry, we assess with high confidence that the object is not actually close to the water, but is rather closer to 13,000 feet,” Kosloski testified during an oversight hearing.
Kosloski did not, however, identify the object in the “GOFAST” video. He says AARO will make the report on their parallax claims public on their official website.
The “GOFAST” video shows a radar recording of an object that appeared to be moving at an incredibly high speed, not far above the water.

The FLIR radar shows a small blip on the screen moving so quickly that the operating officer was forced to lock onto the target manually.
When the radar operator is finally able to lock onto the moving target, he yells, “Whoa! Got him!”
“What the f–k is that?,” someone is heard saying over the radio in the video.
“Wow, what is that man? Look at it fly!,” another is heard saying.
Despite dashing some hopes of UFO and UAP enthusiasts, Kosloski testified to Congress that there are 21 cases that are still unsolvable.
One such case involved a law enforcement officer “out West” who saw a large orange orb floating several hundred feet above the round.
The officer reports approaching the “blacker than black object” that was about the size of a Toyota Prius.
When the officer got within 100 feet of the object, it shot up into the sky at a 45 degree angle at an improbably fast pace, according to Kosloski’s testimony.

In yet another inexplicable event, two government contractors in the Southeast reported seeing a “large metallic cylinder about the size of a commercial airplane” hovering in the air motionless for 15-20 seconds, according to the testimony Tuesday.
“Obviously an object that large and stationary — unless it’s a blimp — is unusual but then disappearing, we can’t explain how that would happen,” Kosloski told Congress.
At a hearing last week, UAP and UFO community whistleblowers testified to congress that they were aware of secret research programs conducted by the US government that included crash recoveries and highly secretive back-engineering programs.
