UAP Insight significance score
Original excerpt
There are two issues with the Gimbal simulation, which I think I've now resolved. 1 - The difference between the cloud horizon and the artificial horizon over the first 22 seconds 2 - The possible slight apparent continuous clockwise rotation of the object over the first 22 seconds Both these issues only affect the first 22 seconds and not a lot. They don't make any difference to the fo…
Key claims
A Metabunk forum thread discussing refinements to a computer simulation of the Gimbal UAP incident, addressing issues with cloud horizon and object rotation in the first 22 seconds.
Alternative explanation
Simulation analysis suggests optical and perspective artifacts may account for apparent motion and rotation in the Gimbal footage.
