CASE OVERVIEW

GOFAST UAP Video: What the public record documents

The apparent speed shown in the video drew widespread attention, though apparent motion can be affected by viewing geometry and sensor data.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The public record identifies GOFAST UAP Video as a ufo / uap matter associated with U.S. Navy, Department of Defense during 2015. A Navy infrared recording of an unidentified object apparently moving over the ocean, officially released in 2020.

The apparent speed shown in the video drew widespread attention, though apparent motion can be affected by viewing geometry and sensor data.

The footage is authentic military imagery, but public analysis has debated whether parallax and distance estimates account for the apparent speed. The official release did not identify the object as extraterrestrial.

The linked source set contains 2 official or primary archival records. Together, these materials establish the responsible organizations, the relevant time period, the reported location, and the official findings or historical conclusions summarized in this file.

The appearance of a statement in a government file does not by itself prove that the statement is accurate.
