AARO's GoFast resolution finds no anomalous speed

The February 2025 report estimates the object's altitude and speed from the public FLIR display and concludes with high confidence that it showed no anomalous performance.

AARO describes an object recorded by a Navy F/A-18F off Florida in January 2015. Its reconstruction places the object near 13,000 feet rather than just above the ocean.

The report directly addresses the apparent high speed that made GoFast influential and provides the clearest current official technical assessment.

AARO does not definitively identify the object. Its conclusion concerns performance and geometry, not a final object attribution.
