Lt. Ryan Graves Testifies on Recurring UAP Encounters

Former Navy F/A-18F pilot Lt. Ryan Graves testified before the House Oversight Committee about recurring UAP encounters experienced by his squadron operating off the East Coast between 2014 and 2015. Graves described objects with dark grey or black cubes inside clear spheres holding a fixed position in the airspace, visible on radar and infrared sensors. He stated the encounters were so frequent that pilots would brief their presence during mission planning. Graves, who founded Americans for Safe Aerospace, emphasized that military aviators are routinely encountering these objects but face significant stigma in reporting them.
