Hear about Graves’ experiences with UFOs in the Navy and as a civilian advocating for transparency. Learn about how the UAP/UFO subject is being received by the government, scientific funding agencies, and private industry.
Title: National Security, Aviation Safety, and UAP.
Description: This will be a talk hosted by Ryan Graves that discusses the state of play in the UAP space. We will discuss broader aspects of national security, aviation safety, and how the threat posed by UAP undermine operational security and public safety.
This is the first event in a series of lectures with the leadership team of AIAA UAP, the Integration and Outreach Commission of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, chaired by Graves.
Graves is a fighter pilot instructor who initiated pilot reporting mechanisms, and whose squadron filmed the famous GIMBAL video. See his 2023 Congressional Testimony and his appearance on the Lex Fridman podcast.
