Unimpressive, impressive video evidence and background discussion

PREFACE:

I hate gate keeper bullshit. “I am sitting on something crazy but can’t talk about it or share it” is the bane of my existence. I am not trying to turn this into something stupid, please give me the benefit of the doubt as I am bringing this up for genuine discussion while trying to protect the identity of my source. This is not earth shattering video, but it is interesting.

BODY:

I had someone I am close with who is currently enlisted in the military share this with me and I thought it would be an interesting thing to discuss. These videos were shared with him from someone he went to boot camp with and is now stationed in Florida reviewing video of training flights.

They shared two FLIR videos of an object caught while flying training missions off the coast of Florida heading towards Panama City. The video was taken in March of this year, was reported through AARO’s report system, and then the individual who reported the video was flown out to DC to discuss it.

The first video is only 2 seconds long and is the clearer of the two. It is a side view of a plane in flight with a tic tac shaped object zipping past, obviously passing the plane in speed and seems to leave no trace of heat or exhaust. The second video isn’t as clear, and is 14 seconds long. You see the same object, but there is also another object that blips in and out of camera.

I wish I had more information than this but this is when my source started tip toeing around the discussion. I was able to gather that the plane was going approximately 200 knots and was only approximately 1500 ft in the air. (I am kind of dumb and don’t know if that information is interesting at all) But outside of that, they did not share how the crew interacted with the object other than they saw it and attempted to “engage” in some sort. It was not specified what they meant by that. I don’t know if they tried to track it or what.

Once the engagement was over the people involved were asked to not to discuss with anyone and prompted to report directly via the AARO link. The videos I have are small clips that were copied before being uploaded. Once the reports were made they were advised to not discuss the event further.

Surprise surprise… all of a sudden there is no evidence of the event. The radar and video data / coms are no longer accessible. The video review tech and 2 other individuals were supposedly flown to DC to discuss the event with someone at AARO. They are now no longer allowed to discuss the events.

These videos I would consider are much lesser versions of something like the tic tac or go fast videos.

I know it probably feels like a tease to not share the video… but this is not the evidence any of us want. I feel like it shows 3/5 of observables and while the object is traveling faster than the plane… but we aren’t getting disclosure or anything new out of this.

No instant changes in speed or direction and I am not sure if it blipping in and out is “transmedium”

I thought this was an interesting story and wanted to share / discuss a bit.
