Q&A

• What did pilots report seeing in the sky?

  Pilots reported seeing a black Cube inside a translucent sphere, behaving strangely in the sky, defying conventional explanations, generally observed during transit or while waiting for flights.

• How did pilots' perspective change regarding UFO sightings?

  Pilots initially thought UFO sightings were errors, but changed their perspective after a close encounter with a UFO.

• What specific behavior did the unidentified objects display?

  The unidentified objects displayed various flight patterns including stationary and racetrack patterns, sometimes reaching speeds similar to those of an airplane.

• What does radar detect about unidentified objects?

  Radar detects kinematics of objects, such as their location, speed, and direction, with unidentified objects exhibiting less controlled flight paths compared to traditional aircraft.

• What capabilities did the apg-79 radar upgrade provide?

  The upgrade to the apg-79 radar allowed for better tracking and detection capabilities of unidentified objects during flight.

• What did Ryan Graves witness during his flights in 2013-2014?

  He witnessed unidentified radar contacts after upgrading to a more advanced radar system, indicating potential UFO sightings primarily over water, tens to hundreds of miles offshore.

• What is Ryan Graves' background?

  Ryan Graves is a former F-18 pilot with a background as a mechanical/aerospace engineer.

• 00:00 Ryan Graves, a former F-18 pilot, witnessed unidentified radar contacts while flying in 2013-2014 after upgrading to a more advanced radar system, indicating potential UFO sightings.
• 02:44 The military operating area is not restricted in the conventional sense, but controlled airspace requires permission to enter. Radar detects kinematics of objects, such as location, speed, and direction. Unidentified objects have less controlled flight paths.
• 05:19 Discussion about objects not moving in a straight line due to wind, considerations of energy and rockets to counteract wind, initial confusion about the objects on radar, and eventual closer investigation of the objects.
• 07:39 An unidentified object was visually observed near their flare system on the radar, potentially posing a safety hazard. The object displayed various flight patterns including stationary and racetrack patterns, sometimes reaching speeds similar to those of an airplane. Although the behavior was recognized, it wasn't necessarily attributed to normal behavior.
• 10:10 Pilots try to minimize turning to conserve energy; UFOs were frequently observed during flights; pilots initially thought UFO sightings were errors, but changed their perspective after a close encounter
• 12:37 Pilots report seeing a black Cube inside a translucent sphere, which behaves strangely in the sky, defying conventional explanations. The phenomenon is observed during transit or while waiting for fights, rather than on dedicated missions.
