The Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) resolved one of its most high-profile UFO cases, nicknamed “GOFAST,” its director, Dr. Jon Kosloski, told Congress during a hearing on Tuesday. The GOFAST video, publicly released in 2017, depicted what seemed to be a high-speed object skimming just above the water. However, according to Kosloski, the object was not nearly as extraordinary as it appeared.
“Through a very careful geospatial intelligence analysis and using trigonometry, we assess with high confidence that the object is not actually close to the water, but is rather closer to 13,000 feet,” Kosloski explained. He attributed the apparent anomaly to a visual illusion known as parallax, which can distort perceptions of an object’s speed and location. While the object’s exact nature remains unidentified, its apparent strangeness has been scientifically clarified. A detailed report on parallax and its role in such sightings will be available on the AARO website.
Despite this resolution, former F/A-18 pilot Ryan Graves, a vocal advocate for greater transparency on UFOs and founder of Americans for Safe Aerospace, expressed skepticism. In an interview with NBC News Now, Graves argued that the GOFAST video and similar cases still warrant investigation. He also noted that multiple objects were observed in the air when the GOFAST footage was captured, and he questioned the Pentagon’s framing of the video as particularly anomalous.
Ryan Graves Claps Back on the AARO ‘GoFast’ Video Analysis
“Specifically the GoFast video itself was never really interesting because it was going fast, the pilots certainly didn’t say that, nor did they name the video. If anything the Pentagon simply debunked their own naming… https://t.co/r4zFQAdVXK pic.twitter.com/NFZvQfvkEN

The GOFAST case is just one among many that AARO has been investigating. Kosloski also provided updates on other resolved cases, such as “The Puerto Rico Objects” and “Mt. Etna,” while highlighting ongoing investigations. Among the active cases are reports of an “orange orb” and a “metallic cylinder,” both described in startling detail.
One particularly intriguing account came from a law enforcement officer in the western United States, who reported observing a glowing orange orb hovering hundreds of feet above the ground. As he approached, the orb transformed into a “blacker than black” object roughly the size of a Prius. The object then tilted 45 degrees, shot upward at incredible speed, and emitted bright red and blue lights, illuminating the officer’s vehicle like fireworks.
Another case involved two government contractors in the southeastern U.S. who spotted a massive metallic cylinder, similar in size to a commercial airplane. After hovering stationary for 15-20 seconds, it disappeared without explanation, leaving investigators baffled.
As AARO continues its work, Kosloski emphasized the importance of rigorous scientific analysis, but cases like the orange orb and metallic cylinder underscore how much remains unexplained. These mysteries keep fueling curiosity about what might truly be out there.
