“Go Fast” Video
Now-declassified U.S. Navy F/A-18 forward-looking infrared (FLIR) video showing a small high-speed object skimming low over the ocean surface. Captured during the January 2015 uss-theodore-roosevelt pre-deployment exercise off the U.S. East Coast.
Per tim-gallaudet, the video was attached to the us-fleet-forces-command “URGENT SAFETY OF FLIGHT ISSUE” email warning of multiple near-midair collisions — an email that disappeared from recipients’ accounts the next day (src-gallaudet-house-testimony-2024-11). The Navy later officially declassified the video in 2020.
