Two short ATFLIR sequences recorded by F/A-18F aircraft assigned to Carrier Air Wing One. GIMBAL shows an oblong object rotating against the prevailing wind. GO FAST shows an object skimming low over the ocean at high apparent speed. Both videos were authenticated by the U.S. Navy in 2019 and re-released by the Department of Defense in April 2020. The pilots involved, including Lt. Ryan Graves, reported daily sightings during training exercises in the same airspace.
