The 'GoFast' Footage

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.
