At a quick glance this guy seems to be a documentary film maker. The fact that he's working with Bob Lazar on a movie. Should be noted.

Apparently the Go Fast footage was posted by Jeremy Corbell two years ago, although its being explained as some timestamping thing by Vimeo.
Very curious. Also note the stuff he says about the TicTac incident.
Garry Nolan of TTSA has said this on Facebook: "I am (edit) trying to get other background information that "debunks" West's silly reply. First bit of information... the speed of the object was 300-400 knots (about 350 to 460 miles per hour). As measured by radar.. So goddess help that "bird" should it ever hit the water at such a speed! The wind drag alone would rip off it's feathers! LOL."

The guys at ttsa just are not too clever when it comes to analysing their own videos…
In their analysis of the ‘go fast’ video, they state:
The unidentified vehicle appears as a white oval shape moving at high speed from top right to lower left of the screen flying very low over the water.
But in the video, right when the ATFLIR locks onto the object at 1:34, you can see that:
- The F18 is at an altitude of 25.000 feet above the water, flying level
- The ATFLIR is looking slightly down from the F18, at an angle of 26 degrees, straight at the object
- The object it at a distance of 4.4 Nautical Miles = 26.735 feet from the F18
If the object was really flying just above the water surface AND the ATFLIR is looking at it at a shallow angle of just 26 degrees from an F18 flying at 25.000 feet, it would be much farther away.
In fact, the actual altitude of the object can easily be calculated from the data in the ATFLIR screen at 1:34 in the video:
- The difference in altitude between the F18 and the object is 26.735 x sin(26 degrees) = 11.720 feet.
- The F18 is at an altitude of 25.000 feet so the object is at an altitude of 25.000 – 11.720 = 13.280 feet.
So the object is not ‘very low above the water’ as ‘analysed’ by ttsa, but about halfway between the jet and the water in altitude. This means that the apparent speed of the object is highly exaggerated by the parallax effect.
Why ttsa fails to see this straightforward calculation from the data staring them right in the face in the ATFLIR screen is beyond me…
Maybe they do not have the budget for a calculator, so [please donate]

And Guest101 has already provided a good response earlier on one of the other billion threads about this topic.

A lot of people of cynical because this is all about drip, drip, drip of information, the links back to the CIA and dubious grounds for setting this all up under an 'entertainment franchise'.
From what I can gather the Pentagon have not even confirmed much at all about these videos and whether they were even classified never mind de-classified.

Where is this radar data?
(I am a little late posting this as I was in the hospital and really sick recently. So, I lost some time getting caught up. But, I thought you all might be interested in this, as something continues to not be right with all of this.) On February 12, 2018, the Department of Defense, Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff office, in FOIA Case 18-F-0324, gave another rather odd "no records response" to a request which had multiple parts. Specifically, I requested: 1) The resignation letter of Mr. Luis Elizondo, DoD personnel who played a role in The Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program. 2) Any/all responses by Secretary of Defense James Mattis, or any other DoD official to Mr. Elizondo regarding his resignation. 3) Any/all letters, memos, recommendations, email, etc. sent from Mr. Elizondo, to any DoD official, regarding the declassification or public release of videos, as obtained by the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program. 4) Any/all response to Mr. Elizondo, and his effort to get videos or material evidence in the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program released to the public. Although I have an open appeal on the above with the DOD, it is noted they just wanted to forward my request to the Defense Intelligence Agency instead. However, due to the fact that Mr. Elizondo stated clearly he worked within OSD (not DIA), and the NY TIMES among many other news outlets cited Mr. Elizondo's resignation letter to Secretary of Defense James Mattis, at least that portion of my request would be at the office that just gave the "no records" response. Something does not seem right, and I will post the results of the appeal when they become available. I am not trying to insinuate either side is lying, but to be honest, I think the only conclusion we can draw is one side definitely is. Which one? I'll let you all decide, but something is certainly fishy.
