This theory proposes that the object recorded in the 2015 Gimbal FLIR video may have been a distant, low-observable U.S. aircraft, such as an F-35, participating in a compartmentalized electronic warfare operation during the Roosevelt workups. In this scenario, the aircraft generates deceptive radar contacts near its general line of sight, but deliberately displaced from its true position. The Roosevelt aviators detect these contacts on radar and direct their FLIR toward the same general area...
