[Ryan Graves]
Thank you for coming to this public hearing for this topic that has been so stigmatized.
In regards to unidentified abnormal phenomena, we know very little about them, thanks to efforts like today's, we are beginning to see the change. My name is Ryan Graves, I am a former pilot of an F-18 within the army. And we have investigated this phenomenon as military pilots.
Now, there are 3 issues that draw our attention: first pilots who have been witnesses, we need our experience and pilots like me and others have shared experiences about this investigation, but they are afraid to share their story. Second, to understand these phenomena, information must be collected because all phenomena in the airspace are reported, they are not isolated, they are routine, both military and commercial pilots recognize and report these phenomena officially sometimes. And third, to investigate these phenomena, it is really important, especially if the pilots can share their reports.
We also collect a lot of the data of those who solve these mysteries and also this is a global phenomenon and the collaboration is important. It is important to keep all the information to understand this phenomenon. If we do not do it this way, if we do not do it with global cooperation, it will not be possible to understand them.
My story. In 2014, my squadron was in Oceana, Virginia beach. In our radar system we began to detect unidentified objects. At first, we thought it was something else, but then we asserted that with our systems and infrared systems, we couldn't verify its identity.
And on the [warning area] W 72 in Virginia beach, the objects were described as an object inside a dark cube and inside a circle. And that they were 75 ft in diameter and the instruction was to return to the base, but there was no official acknowledgement of this phenomenon and nothing was said then.
We were able to do different reports and different scans to get an understanding. We saw how the hurricanes also impacted our jets and many of these impacted on the east coast and many of these phenomena remained unknown. I believe that Americans deserve a safe airspace, our interest is to remove stigmas and reveal information.
I am proud and honored that more than 10,000 people have joined, anyone can join. I'm sure this is just beginning. In July, after I testified before the United States Congress and before other witnesses about these phenomena, we saw the lack of a safe process and many of those in attendance shared their accounts.
And we also talked on a case by case basis, depending on the interests of the witnesses and in case of the policies so that the investigation was possible, we had to talk with members of Congress and also with their staff in order to be able to achieve resolutions that would allow us to investigate these phenomena.
Commercial pilots are also very important. They have years of experience flying at 45,000 ft and they also saw objects that performed unusual maneuvers such as unusual turns and they saw unusual sightings. Many were looking for easy explanations. We are looking how to explain it, but the government has information that is reported but not evaluated and we have to learn from it.
Other witnesses are the veterans who have seen this phenomenon on their aircrafts. There are many, many witnesses. Many witnesses have been documented and evaluated by the United States Government, but the military, the United States, must do more to report these phenomena.
Last year there were more than 10,000. And this last year we had a lot of reports that were collected and we have a lot of witnesses who adhered to the reporting mechanisms. Now we are just scratching the surface, because there are a lot of witnesses who want to cooperate. Secure reporting is vital to be able to reveal the truth and government leaders must also talk about this in organizations like this one, and Mexico can learn from us.
First at the most fundamental level, data collection cannot be underestimated because there are many cases reported in the United States, this is also a challenge because it is a scientific opportunity, because there is a delicate balance in terms of who is responsible for this information. The U.S. military wants to keep this a secret, and despite the legislation of the 23rd, the President as head of the U.S. doesn't want to disclose these records indefinitely, so there are a lot of academic organizations and nonprofits that want to get involved.
I am happy to be at the forefront of the project and that is why we also have Stanford University, the Galileo project at Harvard and different sectors of the society that want to understand this phenomenon.
In closing, I recognize the skepticism about this issue, but the important thing is to evaluate and understand this data. And we must learn from the phenomena that occur in each of the places and I hope that more Mexican pilots share their reports and do so seriously.
The pilots are trained to observe the skies. If you see my account, I hope that you, along with other pilots, make these reports because we represent aerospace safety and I also believe that with scientific search and research we can find a solution to this dilemma. Thank you.
Certainly no mention of crashed alien craft or alien remains in his testimony. Mr Graves displeasure in response to the alien bodies "stunt" on Twitter has already been quoted in post
Those responsible for this ghastly, ghoulish, depraved and despicable fraud have likely committed all manner of criminal offenses under multiple laws, not to mention the desecration of ancient human remains and relics. The chain of custody should be pursued through a criminal investigation (follow the money) by the Mexican and Peruvian governments, by getting each link in the chain to flip on the next.
