#ufo #uap #ryangraves "The gimbal object...we had never seen anything like that before!" The US government held a historic UFO hearing today. In today's episode, we have a fascinating conversation with Ryan Graves, who shares his encounters with multiple unidentified objects that flew past Navy F-18 aircraft over extended periods. As we delve into this extraordinary event, we explore the complexities surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) and the challenges of reporting them. From the stigma surrounding UAP sightings to the need for standardized reporting procedures, we uncover the implications for aviation safety and discuss the importance of gathering data to ensure the security of our airspace. Join us as we navigate the mysterious realm of UAPs and contemplate their significance in our modern world. Get ready to explore the unknown on The INTO THE IMPOSSIBLE Podcast. Ryan's fresh off his congressional testimony: Wednesday's hearing included testimony from two former U.S. Navy aviators, Ryan, and David Fravor, both witnesses to separate highly publicized encounters with what appeared to be unconventional aircraft operating in U.S. military airspace. Today's hearing included testimony from a whistleblower who has alleged the Pentagon is hiding evidence of "non-human intelligence." David Grusch, a decorated former combat officer and veteran of the Pentagon's intelligence community testified, and we discussed his claims. In a report published last month, Grusch alleged that he had received "extensive classified information about deeply covert programs that he says possess retrieved intact and partially intact craft of non-human origin." Grusch's statements have received attention from major news outlets and U.S. politicians. Watch Ryan's testimony here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ7Dw-739VY 00:00:00 Intro 00:08:45 Aviate, navigate and communicate. Pilots should not be distracted by unidentified objects in the sky. The proper procedure is to inform air traffic control and follow their instructions. There is a lack of reporting mechanisms for both military and commercial pilots. Pilots may be hesitant to report sightings due to stigma and fear of repercussions. The FAA representative was not aware of reporting procedures. 00:16:46 Airspace is divided into blocks; warning area for inbound international traffic; military training in unused airspace; commercial airliners diverted around training area; radar used to track commercial air traffic; missiles are infrared and heat-seeking; pilots can see where sensors are looking on cockpit display. 00:20:33 The issue of unidentified objects around military bases. 00:27:36 Focus on aviation safety, and altruistic intentions. Potential for a self-sustaining industry. 00:34:49 Eyewitness evidence questioned, data ownership debated. 00:44:20 Two aircraft had a close encounter with an unidentified object, described as a dark gray or black cube. 00:50:16 The need for attention to potentially dangerous objects, such as drones or alien technology. 00:53:12 The "gimbal object" and smaller objects flying in formation. The encounter was deemed unique and not previously seen. 01:00:11 Military jets shaped Ryan's unique worldview. 01:06:48 The human impact of Ryan's work 01:14:03 Reducing stigma, standardizing reporting, leveraging existing technologies, proactive detection for aviation safety. 01:18:26 Widening conversation, pragmatic national security.
