Former Navy pilot says flight crews observed UFOs off Atlantic Coast "every day for at least a couple years"

Former Navy Lieutenant Ryan Graves says he and other members of his F/A-18 fighter squadron detected strange, maneuverable and unidentified objects flying in the restricted airspace southeast of Virginia Beach nearly every day for two years beginning in 2015. The sightings were so common, he says, pilots and their crews began to take them for granted. Graves is calling those objects a threat to security in a 60 Minutes interview.

Graves is one of several current and former military members who have spoken publicly about what the Pentagon now calls unidentified aerial phenomena or UAP. These documented sightings of UAP, recorded on gun camera video and photos taken by U.S. service members, have been analyzed by the Defense Department for years. But the government only grudgingly acknowledged the internal efforts after unclassified videos of UAP were leaked to the New York Times in 2017. Now, the Senate Intelligence Committee has ordered the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Defense to compile a report on unidentified aerial phenomena to be delivered next month.

"I am worried, frankly. You know, if these were tactical jets from another country that were hanging out up there, it would be a massive issue," Graves tells Bill Whitaker in an interview airing Sunday on 60 Minutes. "But because it looks slightly different, we're not willing to actually look at the problem in the face. We're happy to just ignore the fact that these are out there, watching us every day." 

Graves says pilots who have seen UAP speculate they could be a secret U.S. technology, an enemy spy platform, or something else entirely. Watching one of the unclassified videos he says, "This is a difficult one to explain. You have rotation, you have high altitudes. You have propulsion, right? I don't know...

So it’s the CIA who’s behind all this? What would the CIA’s motive here be?

More UFO reports are being introduced into the main stream every day. They are slowly conditioning the masses into believing another false threat. At some point in the future extraterrestrial will be the excuse for a one world government.

I’m more and more persuaded that it is #5, but they are somehow tied in with demons / fallen angels.

Christopher Mellon, former Assistant Deputy Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, commented that whatever these things are, they seem to be making an increasingly concerted effort to be seen, filmed, recorded on tracking equipment and, perhaps, make the news.

Uh, Chris, hello--is there anybody intelligent down there?

This is how UFOs make the news:

How about a variation of number #5.

The Earth has its own consciousness and agenda—which includes getting homo sapiens to get off its rear end to visit other planets and stars....sort of like a plant using bumble-bees to spread pollen...

Well, according to the articular and other reports, the Navy/government are all but ignoring these objects. From the article:

"We're happy to just ignore the fact that these are out there, watching us every day." 

Btw, if the government had this level of advanced technology and they wanted them to be perceived as a threat, there is not doubt they could do a hell of a lot more to make people threatened than this.

Thanks to the meticulous research of Dr. Jacques Vallee and co-author Paola Harris, there is fresh reason to believe— unrelated to the famous Roswell case —that our government could be concealing physical proof of ET life and/or technology. Coming June 1: https://trinitysecret.com

The Alien / UFO’s are certainly enjoying the USA soap opera.

Chart topper.

Government COVID crimes? Inflation? Stolen election? It’s all irrelevant now because the Aliens are here to help us fix climate change.

You obviously do not know what the CIA REALLY is. Good luck to you, you will need it.

Heheh. That's why I post these stories.

I have no idea what's going on here, but it seems like fun for small-town life...so far, that is.
