Or if you follow Hanlon's razor, if the Navy is incredibly (scarily) incompetent!

- radicaldreamer 5y agoThat's a given (see all the ships crashing into other ships in the South Pacific a couple of years ago -- and not noticing for hours!)
- RobertMiller 5y agoThat is possible, but I think strains credibility. The GOFAST video is egregious, I find it hard to believe nobody in the US Navy was able to calculate the actual [mundane, very... balloon-like] speed of that object using basic trigonometry. I think it's more likely the Navy knew there was nothing actually exotic in that video. The Defense Department described the subject of GOFAST, Gimble and FLIR videos as "UAV, Balloons, and other UAS". 'Balloons'; they know what it is. They're not even lying, they're being coy or misleading.

- emkoemko 5y agoi think they are, there is a video of a "fighter pilot" who does not understand basics of a cameras... he thinks you can't focus on objects at different distances at the same time.... how did he ever get to fly a jet? or parallax i mean he should know how that works
