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...

What would the CIA’s motive here be?

The furtherance of diversity, transectionality, and LGBTQ rights, of course.

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


See the below video @14:45.

I am inclined to agree with Elizondo. Whatever it is, we need to figure it out.

I’d just leave them alone. What harm have they done? When they want to talk, they’ll talk.

If Jules Verne was alive today, Nautilus would be a space ship and Nemo a Howard Hughes space industrialist.

I like number 4. Our ancestors from the future creating super fast AI that can teach itself, traveling back in time and genetically modifying humans over time, and in fact creating humans over time. In fact, they created all life billions of years ago and constructed the DNA chain, answering that timeless question about the Chicken or the Egg...

-neither. It was the HAL 9000.

meticulous research of Dr. Jacques Vallee and co-author Paola Harris

You know I am an admirer of Vallee.

I have met Paola Harris and I am _not_ impressed with her--she seems to view the UFO topic as a way to make a living and imho is not a serious (nor particularly intelligent) person.

It seems like everything with this topic--for every step forward there seems to be a step backward...

:-(

Same here. Vallee is a very impressive person. Paola Harris, not so much.

Whoever they are, if they’re so advanced as to get to earth from light years away, I should hope they’re also advanced towards economic enlightenment and thereby appreciate that lower taxes lead to higher tax revenue, that supply & demand are distorted by rationing whereas price is a far more effective equalizing mechanism, that the wisdom of the crowd is far greater than that of the bureaucrats, and that contract requires consideration on both sides, among concepts.

I say this because as much as my students tell me that their teachers are aliens, I’m hoping the real aliens are far more enlightened than our nation’s teachers who don’t understand any of these simple concepts.

To stay out of the public eye all the aliens have to say is three words. “Alien lives matter.” They will then be declared racist and the MSM will ignore them at every turn

So many people are willing to eat this nonsense right up. There is no hope for the US. The bad guys will win. Oh well, it had a good run.

Roswell. The crashed alien spacecraft was the coverup for a crashed bomber carrying a nuke. The next layer was the weather balloon. Then Project Mogul.
