Daily Encounters Over the Atlantic

Ryan Graves served as an F/A-18 Super Hornet pilot with the U.S. Navy and reported persistent encounters with unidentified objects — described as dark cubes inside translucent spheres — during training operations off the Atlantic coast of Virginia starting around 2014. The encounters occurred regularly, sometimes multiple times per day, and were corroborated by radar data and other pilots in his squadron.

Graves testified before the House Oversight Subcommittee in July 2023, describing the institutional pressure pilots faced to not report UAP encounters. He founded Americans for Safe Aerospace to provide a reporting channel for pilots without professional risk.

Graves has stated consistently that his concern is not about the nature of the objects but about flight safety and national security. His organisation has collected testimony from dozens of military and commercial pilots who have encountered unexplained aerial phenomena but felt unable to report through official channels. He remains one of the most credible and active voices in the current UAP discourse.
