Dr. Voss's Analysis
The 'Gimbal' video was captured off the U.S. East Coast in 2015 and officially released by the DoD in April 2020. Navy pilots describe tracking an object that rotated against the wind while exhibiting no visible propulsion system. The name 'gimbal' refers to the rotating motion. The DoD confirmed the video is genuine and that the objects remain unidentified. No official determination of origin has been made.
Overview
