The Gimbal Video is an infrared recording of an unidentified object, captured by a US Navy aircraft in 2015.
The Gimbal Video is approximately 34 seconds long and was filmed in January 2015 using an infrared targeting pod from an F/A-18 Super Hornet jet. The aircraft was operating as part of the USS Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group off the East Coast of the United States, during a training flight or operational readiness exercise. The object in the video appears oval or disc-shaped and seems to rotate as it moves across the screen. In the audio recording, the pilots can be heard expressing confusion about its movement and behavior.
The US Department of Defense released the video to the public in 2020, as part of a collection of Navy videos depicting unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). It is one of three widely cited official Pentagon UFO videos, alongside FLIR1 and GOFAST.
According to official information, the object remains unidentified, and the Pentagon's public releases do not confirm an extraterrestrial origin. Some interpretive sources suggest its appearance could be explained by sensor effects or environmental conditions, but this is not an official conclusion.
