GOFAST · 2015 [DOW · IR SENSOR]
WATCH IN UMBRA — PURSUE sensor footage, native playback
WHAT THE FOOTAGE SHOWS
GoFast was captured in 2015 by an F/A-18 from the USS Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group, through the same ATFLIR infrared pod as the Gimbal clip. The aircrew lock onto a small object that appears to streak low and fast across the water, and one pilot exclaims, "Whoa! Got it! ... Oh my gosh, dude!" The Department of Defense confirmed the video is authentic, and the UAP Task Force and the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) list the object as unidentified.
THE PARALLAX QUESTION
GoFast is also the clip that best illustrates why instrument footage has to be read carefully. Using the range, altitude, and angle figures displayed on the targeting pod itself, independent analysts have argued the object is not skimming the surface at extreme speed at all — that parallax (the way a distant object's apparent motion is exaggerated against a moving background) makes a higher, slower object look fast and low. Others dispute that reconstruction. Umbra exists for exactly this kind of question: it puts the actual footage and its on-screen data in front of you, on the record, so the analysis can start from the source rather than a caption.
WHERE IT SITS IN THE RECORD
Together with the Tic Tac and Gimbal clips, GoFast is one of the three "Navy UFO videos" the Department of Defense formally released. All three belong to the class of military infrared and electro-optical footage that forms the Department of War collection in the PURSUE release — sensor video carried with AARO's neutral assessments. Umbra renders the collection natively on iPhone, source markings intact.
