Former Obama Pentagon appointee Marik von Rennenkampff publishes new analysis falsifying every Mick West debunk of the 2015 Gimbal UFO video Marik von Rennenkampff served as a political appointee at the U.S. Department of Defense under Secretaries Panetta and Hagel, then as an analyst at the State Department's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation. He co-authored AIAA 2023-4101 / arXiv 2306.08773 on the Gimbal video with Yannick Peings (UC Irvine). This week he released a 20-minute analysis that methodically dismantles every prosaic explanation Mick West has offered for Gimbal: - The Gimbal object was 6 to 8 nautical miles from the F-18 that recorded it (close, not the 30+ miles claimed by Mick West). - Stabilized footage shows the targeting pod camera panning downward as the jet closes in. - The 3D flight path reconstruction matches Lt. Ryan Graves' radar memory to the second, including a vertical U-turn with altitude climb at the end. - Object size: ~15-20 feet across. No wings, no engine, no exhaust plume. Moving against 120-knot winds. - The ATFLIR patent holder told Marik in phone calls and emails that the camera does NOT operate the way Mick West's distant-jet theory claims. - Top academic experts in indium antimonide infrared sensors agree. - Confronted with the analysis on his own MetaBunk forum, Mick West dismissed it while admitting in the same post that he had not watched it in full. - Sean Kirkpatrick, former AARO director, told Marik twice that the video shows a balloon reflecting the sun. It was recorded at night.
