Ex-Navy pilot: Influx of people coming forward since UFO hearing
newsnationnow.com ^ | Caitlyn Shelton

A former Navy fighter pilot says since he testified before a congressional committee about UFOs, more people are coming forward to share their own stories.

Lt. Ryan Graves was the first active duty pilot to testify before Congress about his squadron’s experience with unidentified crafts, officially classified by the government as Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP).

[...]

Graves, who also serves as the executive director of Americans for Safe Aerospace, told NewsNation senior national correspondent Brian Entin that an “influx” of people have reported information about UFOs since the hearing.

“Since the hearing, there have been an influx of people coming to safeaerospace.org and joining both as pilots and as people who just want to support the conversation. A lot of those pilots have shared their stories,” Graves told NewsNation. “A lot of those pilots shared their stories. There have been a number of commercial pilots that have recently signed up that have been confirming some of the sightings that I spoke about, as well as sharing some new data about potentially some new cases. So, we certainly have our work cut out for us.”

Ben Hansen, host of “UFO Witness” on Discovery Plus, says he had a similar experience when he recently attended a pilots conference after the UFO congressional hearing.

“We had a booth and we had a line of people, several people deep. Every five minutes, I was getting reports from people and some of them were really extraordinary,” Hansen said.

He continued: “(There are) people that might become whistleblowers because some of these (possible sightings) happened while they were on Navy ships, some of these things happened with commercial pilots. It’s really extraordinary. I just need some time to vet the information because it’s like drinking from a firehose.”

Investigative journalist Ross Coulthart, whose interview with whistleblower David Grusch was part of the impetus for the hearing, thinks there may be some confusion about where people can report their information about potential UFO sightings, suggesting that the Pentagon’s UAP investigative office is nearly unreachable.

“Frankly, one of the issues at the moment is that the Pentagon’s UFO/UAP investigation office, AARO, is sending out a shocking signal. It doesn’t have a phone number. It doesn’t have an email address. It doesn’t even have a website and its Twitter page hasn’t posted a tweet since the very first tweet it posted last year,” Coulthart said.

He added: “If this truly is an agency inside the Pentagon that’s seriously interested in proactively investigating and hearing from witnesses, it’s not sending that message out. I’m at a dilemma at the moment, where do I send these poor people I’m encouraging to consider going forward?”

The leader of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) attacked the UFO hearing before lawmakers, calling it “insulting.”

Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick posted a letter about the hearing to his personal LinkedIn page.

Ping.

They should tell these military and commercial pilots who want to go public with their stories of UFO's seen from the cockpit that they are nothing but "shiny objects," "distractions," and "squirrels."

There are no air safety or national security issues here, just flying squirrels.;-)

All roads lead to Congress now.

The Pentagon and AARO have made their bed—now they get to lie in it....

and lie and lie and lie and lie....

And Sean Kirkpatrick and AARO don’t even have an email address.

ARRO is a fake agency set up to deflect all inquires about UAPs to the dust bin. Witness the Dir of ARRO’s fake outrage.

Flying squirrels that have apparently killed a few pilots in Russia and at least one in the US.

That’s strange, to say the least. It’s like a public office building with a big “We Are Open” sign...but no front door.

My daughter had a professor in college that told the students he was abducted by aliens who drilled a hole in his head. Sure enough, he had a hole in his skull.

I’m university faculty and I told her the teaching ones were usually crazy. I don’t teach so I am sane.

When you encourage buffoonery, buffoonery comes forth.

Eglin AFB is where Matt Gaetz, Tim Burchett, and Anna Paulina Luna had their run-in with General Jeffrey T. Geraghty over his refusal to let them see certain UFO material.

A friend of mine online, age 26, a specialty resident, was just dxed with metastatic bile duct cancer.
Two years left if he is lucky.

I hope he does ok. Hard news.

--- "That's strange, to say the least." And even stranger, as another thread is posted -- "Soviet Union Declassified UFO Encounters Revealed"

See: https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4171837/posts?page=7#7

So much money in the UFO "arenas," as well as so many stories to be concocted beyond those already baked into the hot mess -- "a public office building with a big 'We Are Open' sign...but no front door."

That is very intriguing.

Idk why we would think anyone in gov. Would tell us anything, though.
Except lies to create wars.

Okay. That's your claim. What's your argument?

Are you saying that Navy pilots who report unidentified aircraft they encounter in secure air training ranges ARE NOT national security risks?

Are you saying that they are buffoons and we should just ignore them?

If these are piloted alien craft. And since there is no other planet in the Solar System capable of hosting an alien civilization. It follows that such an alien civilization would have to possess FTL capability. If so then there’s nothing to be done about it. It would be like the Borneo headhunters of 1880 attempting to resist today’s USMC. What’s going to happen will happen and all the forces of Earth can do nothing.

So there’s no point in worrying. “Good Omens” is a pretty good show on Prime. Any other interesting topics?

No, I am saying, just like letting faggotry come out of the closet, you end up with more faggotry. You provide an outlet for the fringe and they latch on.

There is nothing mainstream at all about people who ‘think’ they encountered aliens. They are fringe. I wasted way too much time on this a few days ago. Show proof or, otherwise, stop wasting tax payer resources on nonsense.
