in the halls of Congress Navy Pilots are
speaking out this object remained for
about 45 seconds or so before darting
off over the mountains we were seeing
objects with our Radars with our cameras
and even with our eyes flying on an
almost daily basis we're very sensitive
to how things turn and how things
accelerate and how things move and this
didn't follow any of those laws of
physics as of 2023 milit Ary and
commercial pilots have reported seeing
801 objects they couldn't identify when
we're talking about having an
unidentified thing in our airspace
whether it's directly overhead or in our
Coastal Waters we need to figure out is
this an issue of flight safety is this
an issue of National Security is this an
adversary spying on
us I was an eyewitness to what is
considered one of the most important UFO
or UAP encounters and that's the uh USS
Nimitz Tic Tac
encounter we call it affectionately a
Tic Tac because it looks like the little
breath
mint it was sort of a white creamish
color we didn't see a cockpit we didn't
see windows and it moved in ways that we
didn't
understand I don't know what we saw and
and I refus to speculate because I think
it would be irresponsible of me to say
you know well it was definitely an
adversary spying on us or it was
definitely an alien visiting from outer
space uh because I don't
know one way or another the more data
were able to bring into this
conversation the more we're going to be
able to get to the truth Ryan Graves is
trying to collect data from his fellow
Pilots Military and Commercial
but there's a problem they're hesitant
to share their experiences because of
the taboo surrounding
UFOs they don't feel comfortable
reporting because of that fear that
there could be professional
repercussions at their employer social
repercussions with their peers at the
airline because the conversation
immediately jumps to well there's no
proof there's extraterrestrials you
couldn't travel across the universe to
get here and it's like whoa whoa whoa
Pilots are seeing things that are in the
sky that they don't understand what they
are and are posing safety risk that's
where the conversation needs to stop and
hey is this not only an aviation safety
risk but is this a potential National
Security risk because of this stigma
today the Department of Defense refers
to these unidentified flying objects
UFOs as uaps unidentified anomalous
phenomena they changed it from UFO to
UAP to try to reduce that stigma to try
to get away from from that history that
historical trigger that happens in our
brains the topic is so charged because
there are so many
conspiracies I think it's critical to be
open-minded don't be dismissive and
search for the data like any good
scientist
