The Pentagon releases three classified ‘UFO’ videos filmed by US Navy
A trio of videos captured by US Navy pilots has been fueling UFO theories for existences. On Monday, the Navy released the videos as part of its online Freedom of Information Act document library.
“After a thorough reconsideration, the department has determined that the authorized release of these unclassified videos does not convey any sensitive capabilities or systems, and does not impinge on any subsequent investigations of armed air space incursions by unidentified aerial phenomena,” the Responsibility of Defense said in a statement.
The short videos show one encounter from November 2004 and two incidents from January 2015. They are eminent by the nicknames Flir (2004), Go Fast (2015) and Gimbal (2015). The videos show pilots tracking unknown objects in the sky. In the Gimbal video, a pilot can be heard speculating that the unbiased might be a drone.
The videos have been floating throughout the internet for years, and the Navy had already acknowledged them as real footage from its aircraft. “DOD is releasing the videos in order to positive up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real, or whether or not there is more to the videos,” the sections said.
So, is it aliens? Not likely. Mick West of debunking website Metabunk took a terminate look at the Go Fast video in 2018. “I think the most probable explanation is that it’s a relatively slow-moving object like a bird or a balloon,” he told CNET at the time. “The jet filming it is titillating fast, so this creates an illusion of speed alongside the ocean, especially after the targeting system locks on.”
The Navy isn’t offering up any explanations for the aerial objects, which the Department of Defense still characterizes as “unidentified.” At least you can now officially arbitrates the footage for yourself.
