The Gimbal video was almost certainly filmed sometime in late 2014 or early 2015 off the east coast of the United States.
“it would later emerge that the Gimbal was almost certainly videoed sometime in late 2014 or early 2015 off the east coast of the US”

During the 2014-2015 USS Theodore Roosevelt East Coast UAP encounters, radars showed unknown objects apparently hovering for hours and then flying at instantaneous hypersonic speeds at altitudes ranging from sea level to approximately 9,100 metres.
“they showed unknown objects apparently hovering for hours and then flying at instantaneous hypersonic speeds at altitudes ranging from 30,000 feet to sea level”

Pilots' jets' infrared cameras also picked up the same unidentified objects that appeared on radar during the 2014-2015 USS Theodore Roosevelt East Coast UAP encounters, leading pilots to conclude these were not false radar tracks.
“when their jets’ infrared cameras started picking up the same objects, the pilots realised these were not false radar tracks at all”

On one occasion during the 2014-2015 USS Theodore Roosevelt East Coast UAP encounters, two fighters were flying barely 30 metres apart when an anomalous object hurtled through the gap between them.
“the two fighters were flying in open skies barely 30 metres apart when, out of nowhere, a mind-bogglingly anomalous object hurtled through the narrow gap that separated them”

Ryan Graves said the object that passed between the two jets was a translucent sphere, described as 'a giant soap bubble', with a cube inside touching the sphere's outer edge, relayed to him by his anonymous pilot colleague who experienced the near-miss.
“What the pilots saw was a translucent sphere, like ‘a giant soap bubble’, that passed between the two jets. ‘It was basically a cube inside a sphere with the points of the cube touching the outside of the sphere,’ navy fighter pilot Lieutenant Ryan Graves said of the serious near-miss incident recounted to him by his anonymous pilot colleague who experienced it.”

Christopher Mellon said the cube-inside-a-sphere object seen by the pilots was perhaps 1.8 to 3 metres across, transparent like a soap bubble with a black cube inside whose edges touched the interior of the bubble.
“Christopher Mellon gave more detail about the mysterious cube-inside-a-sphere object seen by the pilots in this incident: ‘They’re perhaps six to ten feet across. And they’re transparent, like a soap bubble with a black cube inside. And the edges of the cube are touching the interior of the bubble . . .’”

In late 2014, two pilots in Super Hornet F/A-18 fighter jets were training for imminent combat operations in the Middle East as part of a carrier strike group led by the USS Theodore Roosevelt.
“In late 2014, two pilots in Super Hornet F/A-18 fighter jets had been training for imminent combat operations in the Middle East, as part of a carrier strike group led by the nuclear-powered and nuclear-armed flagship aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt.”

As training off the east coast of the United States rolled into 2015, pilots aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt encountered anomalous objects almost every time they flew.
“The stories from the east coast Roosevelt training exercises revealed how, as the training off the east coast rolled into 2015, pilots encountered these anomalous objects almost every time they flew.”

Tyler Rogoway wrote that the presence of the mysterious objects in the restricted training airspace off the east coast of the United States was so pervasive that it was largely common knowledge among local flying units.

Pilots reasoned that the craft they encountered could not be part of a covert US government project because deploying secret new technology against its own pilots without warning would be an immense risk and a flagrant breach of standard operating procedure.
“The pilots rationalised that such a craft could not possibly be part of some covert US government project because the risk involved in deploying secret new technology against your own pilots without warning was immense and a flagrant breach of standard operating procedure.”

Ryan Graves said the objects were up in the sky when his flight took off, remained for the duration of his roughly ninety-minute to two-hour flight, and were still there when a fellow pilot took off an hour later.
“‘What’s fascinating and interesting about these objects,’ Graves said, ‘is that they’re up there when we take off, they’re doing their thing for our hour-and-a-half, maybe two-hour flight, and then we land. And my buddy that takes off an hour later is seeing the same things.’”

When the USS Theodore Roosevelt left Florida in March 2015 for the Persian Gulf to join the battle against the Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq and Syria, unknown craft apparently followed the carrier battle group to the other side of the world.
“Perhaps most disturbing of all was that when the USS Theodore Roosevelt left Florida in March of 2015 for the Persian Gulf to be part of the battle against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, these unknown craft apparently followed the carrier battle group to the other side of the world.”

Unlike the F/A-18 fighters involved in the 2004 USS Nimitz Tic Tac encounter, the F/A-18 jets in the 2014-2015 USS Theodore Roosevelt encounters had new advanced APG-79 electronic beam scanning radar systems.
“unlike those on the USS Nimitz ten years earlier, they had new advanced APG-79 electronic beam scanning radar systems”
