In a new editorial, one of Congress’ recent UFO whistleblowers revealed a glaring hole in the government’s plan to track and study what it refers to as “unidentified aerial phenomena” or UAPs.
Whistleblower Ryan Graves wrote for Newsweek that during his tenure as a Naval pilot, he and his team regularly encountered aircraft off the coast of Virginia Beach that “had no visible propulsion… but could remain motionless in Category-4 hurricane winds, accelerate to supersonic, and operate all day, outlasting our fighter jets.”
These sorts of encounters with UAPs happen all the time, noted Graves — who co-founded and now acts as executive director of a group called Americans for Safe Aerospace — but because they often happen outside of the military’s purview, the Pentagon doesn’t seem to care much.
“Today, these same UAP are still being seen; we still don’t know what they are; and our government has no idea of the scope of the problem,” the whistleblower wrote. “That’s because pilots, both commercial and military, are encountering UAP, and the majority of these cases are going unreported.”
Prior to his late July testimony, Graves claimed that Americans for Safe Aerospace had been in contact with more than 30 people who’d witnessed UAPs. Since his headline-grabbing appearance before the House Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs, he said that even more people had come forward with their stories.
Most of those witnesses, the ex-pilot added, fly commercial airliners for a living, and the most recent of those reports was issued just last week.
