AUTHENTICATEDCRAFT
The 'GoFast' Footage
2015 · US East Coast · USA
WHAT IT IS
An object skimming low over the ocean, tracked by targeting sensors. The apparent speed is disputed — parallax may exaggerate it — but the footage is authenticated.
THE CASE FOR
A hard sensor track from the same 2015 Roosevelt encounters, released with full provenance — whatever it is, the recording itself is genuine.
THE CASE AGAINST
Trigonometry from the pod's own readouts puts the object near wind speed at altitude — the dramatic low-fast dash is likely a parallax illusion from the jet's own motion.
WHERE IT STANDS
Authenticated. The recording is genuine and its provenance confirmed. That alone does not say what the object was.
