Kind: captions Language: en 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 [Music]
