Is the Gimbal UFO actually rotating? It looks like it is, but it also looks like a rotating glare. I just found there was a higher quality version of the Gimbal UFO video on the New York Times site. I downloaded it and used it to pull out details in the background that show conclusively that something in the camera system is rotating, and that this rotation exactly matches the rotation of the “UFO”.
Hence, this proves the rotating flying saucer is just an optically rotating glare off something hot, like a jet engine.

The lower contrast change was a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer with
Brightness +25

The more dramatic one used the camera raw filter (convert video layer to smart object first)
Exposure +1.15
Whites +34
