The Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has resolved one of its most high-profile UFO cases, nicknamed "GOFAST". The case involved a video made public in 2017, showing what appeared to be an object flying at high speed just above water. The video was recorded by a fighter jet from the USS Theodore Roosevelt off the east coast of Florida in 2016. However, Dr. Jon Kosloski, the director of the AARO, told Congress that the object was not as unusual as it appeared.
"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 said.
He explained that a "trick of the eye" called parallax made the object appear anomalous — or out of the ordinary — when it was not.
Despite this resolution, former F/A-18 pilot Ryan Graves, who has spoken about UAP sightings, suggested that the Pentagon should continue to investigate the GOFAST case. He argued that there were more objects in the air at the time than the one depicted in the GOFAST video.
In addition to the GOFAST case, Kosloski also presented two other resolved cases, "The Puerto Rico Objects" and "Mt. Etna," and described cases his office is still actively investigating, notably, an "orange orb" and "a metallic cylinder." These cases are part of the 21 cases that the recently released annual unidentified aerial phenomena report said contain enough information and data for the office to actively investigate.
