The object filmed in the video that would later become known as the GoFast video resembled a Tic Tac shape, being rounded, smooth, and egg-shaped, but was no more than about 5.5 metres long, compared to the more than 12-metre length of the object in the 2004 Tic Tac video.
“The object in one of the videos also resembled a Tic Tac, at least in the sense that it was rounded, smooth, and egg-shaped. But where the 2004 Tic Tac was more than 40 feet long, this object—in the video that would later become famously known as GoFast—was no more than about 18 feet long, tops.”

After several years of analysis, some later researchers claimed that the object in the GoFast video was travelling much slower than previously thought, attributing the apparent speed to a parallax effect, though Lue Elizondo disagrees with this assessment because the pilots who witnessed the object marvelled at its speed.
“After several years of analysis, however, later researchers would claim that the object was going much slower than previously thought. This effect is called a parallax. I still don’t agree with this assessment, since the pilots who witnessed the object flying marveled at its speed.”
