F/A-18 FLIR footage from the USS Theodore Roosevelt strike group (2015). Showed a craft orientating itself at a 90-degree angle while moving against 120-knot wind, a maneuver that violates conventional lift principles.

“Dude, they’re not drones, bro. There’s a whole fleet of them. … They’re all going against the wind. The wind’s 120 knots west.”
Witnesses
Ryan Graves and other VFA-11 Red Rippers pilots
East Coast wave
The Gimbal footage is part of the sustained wave of US Navy training-range encounters off the East Coast of the United States that Ryan Graves’s VFA-11 pilots reported as near-daily. PURSUE Release 02 adds further East Coast sensor footage from 2019, the same operational pattern that drove the modern disclosure era.
