That Gimbal UFO video—anyone actually analysing this properly?

Right, so the Pentagon released that Gimbal video in 2015 and everyone either thinks it's definitely aliens or definitely a camera artefact, and nobody seems willing to actually sit down and do the boring analytical work.

I've been looking at the metadata and the flight dynamics and honestly, the "camera artefact" explanation doesn't quite work. Neither does "it's definitely a spacecraft." It's somewhere in between.

Has anyone on here done serious pixel-by-pixel analysis? Not looking for confirmation of a pet theory, just actual investigation?

The Gimbal footage is textbook "parallax effect and camera rotation creating visual illusion of motion." It's not mysterious, it's just not obvious why without understanding video processing.

I did some analysis and the spatial relationship between the object and the camera is genuinely ambiguous from that footage. Could be near and small, could be far and large. Without proper scale reference, the motion is impossible to quantify.

the "camera artefact" explanation doesn't quite work. Neither does "it's definitely a spacecraft."

The real issue with military footage is that we don't have enough information about the sensor characteristics, the exact conditions, or the calibration. Without that, analysis is basically guesswork dressed up as science.

I think the value of the Gimbal video is that it proves the Pentagon takes these things seriously enough to study them. That's interesting regardless of what the video actually shows.
