The Gimbal Video: The Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon of 2015

<p>The Gimbal video represents one of the most remarkable visual recordings of the unidentified flying object phenomenon. Captured in 2015 by a fighter pilot of the U.S. Navy operating from an aircraft carrier in the Atlantic Ocean, this video shows an object executing a characteristic rotation on itself while moving. The recording was made by an infrared targeting system mounted on a military reconnaissance aircraft.</p><h2>Context</h2><p>The phenomenon of UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) has long been considered a taboo subject within American military structures. However, beginning in the 2010s, a notable shift occurred, particularly thanks to the efforts of Deputy Secretary of Defense Luis Elizondo and the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). The Gimbal video is part of this transitional period when the American government begins to officially acknowledge the existence of these phenomena. In 2020, the Pentagon officially declassified three UAP videos, including Gimbal, confirming their authenticity and their origin from reliable military sources.</p>
