Ryan Graves is a former U.S. Navy pilot and a leading voice in the discussion of UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena). He gained prominence for speaking out about encounters he and his squadron experienced with unexplained objects while serving as an F/A-18 Super Hornet pilot. These incidents occurred primarily off the East Coast of the United States between 2014 and 2015.

Key Points About Ryan Graves:

1. UAP Encounters: Graves and his fellow pilots frequently reported seeing objects with unusual flight characteristics—such as hovering without propulsion systems, rapid acceleration, and abrupt stops—that defied conventional physics and known technology.
2. Public Advocacy: After leaving the Navy, Graves became an advocate for UAP transparency and safety. He has emphasized the need for better reporting systems for military and commercial pilots who encounter such phenomena.
3. Congressional Testimony: Graves has testified before U.S. Congress, sharing his firsthand experiences and calling for further investigation into UAPs, especially as they could pose a potential safety risk to pilots and national security.
4. Focus on Safety: He consistently frames the issue as one of aviation safety rather than speculation about extraterrestrial origins, pushing for a serious, scientific approach to the topic.
5. American Institute of Aeronautics: Graves is also an aerospace engineer and has contributed to discussions

Here are some key points in his recent appearance on J.R.E.

1. He says this has been happening around this time for the last 3 years, right before Christmas. Operating over bases, and that they were actually expecting them to be over Langley this year.
2. He believes that due to the coverage on NJ, more people are looking up and seeing them all over the nation, Texas, California, Ohio, Florida. Wright-Patt in Dayton was shut down last Friday due to them.
3. Word on the street is they’re coming from over the ocean; not sure if they’re coming out of the water or somewhere over the ocean.
4. It’s an unknown right now whether they’re emitting energy (radio signals, comms.) he has poked at it and says he doesn’t think gov’t knows either.
5. He predicts there are over 800-1000 objects, doesn’t know how many of those are repeats sightings.
6. He is very comfortable saying he doesn’t believe the WMD (weapons of mad destruction) theory is relevant because he’s talked to the people who would be working on it, and they’re not working on it at.
7. They have a technology in them that prevents our equipment from being able to “lock on” to them. And that is technology not known to us.
8. They are seen making 3-4-5 G (G Force) maneuvers at LOW speeds, stay in the air for hours, then vanish over the ocean so far that we can’t track them.
9. They’re operating in class “G” airspace. Which is low altitude.
10. He’s claiming the government is treating this as civilian operated. Meaning they need warrants to “wire tap” or mess with these things. So he says that’s why this is so politically charged and it’s so drawn out.

This information is in the first 20-30 minutes of this episode. I was typing as I was watching. I’m remaining neutral as should you. I’m waiting to hear more after today’s briefings in Washington.
