Pentagon officially releases the three Navy videos
On 27 April 2020 the Department of Defense formally released the FLIR1, Gimbal and GoFast videos.
2020 CE · 38.87, -77.06 · status: official
The account
The clips had already circulated publicly; the release confirmed them as authentic Navy footage of phenomena the military could not identify. In 2021 it also confirmed two leaked 2019 videos taken by USS Russell and USS Omaha crews.
The sceptical view
Official release confirms authenticity, not exotic origin: 'unidentified' is different from extraordinary.
