The Gimbal Incident (2015): An Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon and the Rise of U.S. UAP Policy

To the point

A 2015 carrier-training encounter saw two F/A‑18Fs using an infrared pod track a rotating, saucer‑shaped object with no propulsion, prompting debate whether it was a sensor glitch or advanced tech, and the episode helped spark public interest, the Pentagon’s AATIP program and its 2020 authentication, To the Stars Academy founders Tom DeLonge and Christopher Mellon, the creation of the UAP Task Force and the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, with pilots like Ryan Graves promoting safer, stigma‑free reporting and skeptics such as Mick West offering alternative explanations.

The Gimbal Incident: A Detailed Examination of the 2015 Navy UAP Encounter - New Space Economy

The study of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) underwent a significant shift in the public consciousness during the last decade. Among the evidence brought forward, three videos captured by United States Navy fighters stand out as primary artifacts of interest. One of these, known widely as the Gimbal video, presents a particularly complex case study. Recorded in January 2015 by pilots assigned to the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group, the footage shows an airborne object exhibiting flight characteristics that defy immediate explanation.
