GoFast UAP — Hypersonic Low-Altitude Object

The GoFast video was captured during the same USS Theodore Roosevelt deployment period as the Gimbal UAP. An F/A-18 Super Hornet ATFLIR pod captured a small, featureless object at extremely low altitude — estimated at approximately 25 feet above the ocean surface — moving at extremely high speed. Using angular rate data from the ATFLIR pod and the F/A-18's own velocity and altitude, analysts have calculated the object's speed at approximately 40–300 mph depending on altitude assumptions. Unlike a drone or ballistic projectile, the object maintains a perfectly consistent altitude above the ocean surface without any visible control surfaces or propulsion effects. DoD officially released the footage in April 2020. An AARO 2026 supplemental assessment notes the object's 'stable low-altitude sea-surface following behavior combined with the absence of any identified propulsion mechanism places it outside any current unclassified threat database.' Pilots in the audio track are heard calling it a 'whole fleet' of objects.
