It was one of several clips to have sparked a renewed interest in the UFO phenomenon in recent years and also helped to influence the holding of official congressional hearings on the subject.

Now a new report compiled by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has offered up a fresh analysis of the video while playing down claims that it shows anything mysterious.

AARO determined that the object was likely traveling at 13,000ft (as oppose to near the ocean's surface) and was moving with the wind at speeds of anywhere from 5mph to 92mph.

This is in stark contrast to earlier claims about the object performing extreme feats of maneuverability."AARO assesses with high confidence that the object did not move at anomalous speeds," the report states.

"The object's apparent high speed is attributable to motion parallax, an optical effect that induces an observer to perceive that a stationary or slow-moving object is moving much faster than its actual speed when viewed from a moving frame of reference."

The findings have been met with mixed reactions, with skeptics arguing that the analysis confirms what they've been saying all along and others arguing that AARO's methods and conclusions are either flawed or insufficiently transparent.

It certainly doesn't seem as though the report will settle the matter for everyone.
