In 2020, the Pentagon officially released three UFO videos that had previously circulated online, confirming that the footage was authentic and recorded by US Navy pilots. The clips quickly drew global attention and reignited public interest in unidentified flying objects.
FLIR1 ( NOVEMBER, 2004 )
The first video, known as FLIR1 and often referred to as the Tic Tac, was recorded in 2004 off the coast of San Diego. Navy pilots observed a small white oval shaped object that appeared suddenly and moved in ways that defied conventional aircraft performance. It rapidly changed direction and speed without any visible means of propulsion.
GIMBAL ( JANUARY, 2015 )
The second video, called Gimbal, was recorded in 2015. In this footage, the object appears to rotate in midair while maintaining steady flight. The pilots can be heard expressing confusion and disbelief, openly admitting that they did not understand what they were observing. The motion shown in the video does not match the behavior of any known aircraft.
GOFAST ( JANUARY, 2015 )
The third video, GoFast, also dates from 2015. It shows an object flying low above the ocean at high speed. Despite tracking it with advanced sensors and radar systems, pilots were unable to determine what the object was or how it was able to move in such a manner.
The Pentagon was careful in its statements and never claimed that the objects were extraterrestrial. Officials referred to them only as unidentified aerial phenomena. Still, for much of the public, an object that cannot be identified remains a UFO, and the release of these videos continues to fuel debate, speculation, and curiosity around the world.
