Ryan Graves was an F-18 pilot for the US Navy and said he encountered UFOs, or UAPs, on a “near-daily basis” but says they still “don’t know” what it was they were encountering on training flights
A former US Navy pilot has shared his incredible encounter with a UFO, warning that they pose a “national security” threat ahead of a major hearing in Congress which will see UFO testimonies heard.
Ryan Graves, co-founder of American for Safe Aerospace, said the ways in which pilots are able to report UFOs need to be addressed. He is one of a number of witnesses expected to testify at a congressional investigation looking into government reports of UFOs with many politicians calling for government-held documents relating to extraterrestrial sightings to be released.
Mr Graves, speaking to Fox News, said he plans to tell Congress: “I’ll be looking to share the experiences that I had as a Navy F-18 pilot, I’ll be looking to share what has progressed in this conversation since the 2014 timeframe when we first started spotting these objects, and I’ll be looking to share just how big of a problem this has become for other military aviators and commercial aviators as well.”
While most of us will refer to them as UFOs, Mr Graves prefers the term UAP’s – Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. He explained: “Anomalous is the key word there, we’re not tying this to the old terminology such as ‘flying’ or to the air. We are seeing these in the space domain, in the air domain, underwater… And so this is really a first principled approach to look at this agnostically and without all the cultural baggage there has been in the past.”
