Navy GIMBAL Video

UAP Case Analysis

This video is one of the three official UAP videos released by the Navy. Fighter pilots from the USS Roosevelt captured the video in January 2015. According to one of the pilots, they had many UAP contacts from the summer of 2014 until March 2015 during operations on the East Coast. They then headed to the Middle East, and the encounters tapered off. Very little information has been shared about the video.

This one is the most controversial of the three UFO videos first released by the Navy. Some researchers claim that the movement of the object, particularly the apparent rotation, is anomalous. They claim any known object would lose lift if it rotated in that manner.

Debunkers disagree. MetaBunk’s Mick West demonstrated on a PBS special that the camera’s rotation likely caused the glare to rotate. He also demonstrated how this effect can be replicated with a common smartphone.

To find more evidence of camera movement, I created this GIF covering the objects so as not to distract from what else is going on in the video. There does appear to be camera movement supporting Mick’s theory.

One aspect of the video that has not been explained is one of the pilots saying there was a whole fleet of them on the ASA. I have seen some debate, but am not sure what the ASA may be referencing. If you know more, please fill us in. Thanks.

Around the 19 minute mark a “situational awareness” mode is talked about. I believe that’s what they’re referring to. Listening back to the GIMBAL video at 1/4 speed, it sounds like the pilot could be saying “SA” with the end of “the” pronounced strangely. Curious what others think.

at 0.24, slowed down and zoomed in
very intresting. I hear a small “eee eer” and when that discrete sound occurs the object releases a small signal. you can see the lines overlap the craft in two spots at same time. This is intresting becuase it means the pilots sensor responded to that signal at you can hear that.
this video was slowed down and a close up of the object

i replayed that section a few times in the video. see two lines and that sound at same time
sound and visual.
sounds like a small beacon sensor

after 0.24 seconds it begins to turn. thats intresting

In the cockpit do you guys hear all those sounds?
why would I be hearing that slight sound, along with the visual of the object doing that.

two lines, creating two Beep Beep. this occurs just before it begins its rotation
its only doing that beep beep once. Call it discrete two chirp sounds

ya the chirping sounds. and the two lines happen right before the object begings its rotation
its like its sensors went off and began rotation
