# Does GOFAST show anything anomalous?

Asked 26 Oct 2026 by [**apollo** ](https://mysteriesdept.com/u/apollo)·Part of [Is GIMBAL a rotating object or rotating glare?](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/nimitz-encounter/questions/QST0D1SBTVM5ZTZ/is-gimbal-a-rotating-object-or-rotating-glare)·3 answers·0·0 following

**Answered: A slow object at about 13,000 feet whose apparent speed is parallax from the camera aircraft's motion.** Passed its tests and review.

 

## Where it stands

Three answers have been proposed. A slow object at about 13,000 feet whose apparent speed is parallax from the camera aircraft's motion. leads, with evidence 2 for, 1 against: supported by its tests. Two are still possible.

## Why it matters

GOFAST was recorded on the same deployment as GIMBAL and released with it. It is the one video with an official resolution, and the resolution's method is published⁠[[1]](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC0D1SBED66P6A/aaro-case-resolution-gofast-methodology).
