How did AARO explain the GoFast video?

AI answer drawn from the declassified files — it can be wrong. Check the sources.

AARO explained the "Go Fast" video by analyzing the FLIR video data and concluding that the object did not exhibit anomalous behavior. They estimated the object's altitude at around 13,000 feet and speed between 5 and 92 mph, noting that its motion could be explained by wind and parallax effects [4]. The analysis considered various scenarios and found the object's flight path consistent with drifting with the wind [3]. AARO noted that the video's low resolution and lack of precise positional data limited their ability to determine the object's exact position [5].
