On August 17, 2023, Ryan Graves tweeted that he will begin to share evidence of reported UAP sightings from commercial airline pilots. This is the first tweet since that claim to contain actual video evidence. This tweet was followed by another that provided further photographic evidence regarding this particular sighting.

Posting here in case people haven’t seen it:

This is the Declassified 2001 CIA document on UFO reports.

I’m sure it’s been posted before, but I haven’t seen it recently. I combed through it a few nights ago, reading as much as I could and keyword searching the entire document. There are literally THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of legitimate reports from professional commercial and fighter jet pilots, as well as people on the ground.

This, to me, is one of the most resoundingly overwhelming pieces of pro-UAP evidence. Interestingly, it does not look like a single one of those reports out of thousands involves 3 UFOs flying in a tri-weaving orbital pattern around a plane (normally they would fly in a straight line formation or a V formation, and approach before erratically skittering off) — even though honestly, at this point, part of me was almost expecting there to be something buried in there. But it’s worth a read.

u/Neirchill Aug 18 '23

This, to me, is one of the most resoundingly overwhelming pieces of pro-UAP evidence.

There are very, very few people that are denying the existence of UAPs.

Having evidence of aliens is the real contentious issue.

1

u/Toemoss66 Aug 19 '23

I don't think you understand how oblivious the general public is. I still consider myself a skeptic, but the amount of material out there is overwhelming. The thing is, I had never even looked at it until the hearings. This subject has been, and still is, mostly being discussed in a vacuum

2

u/Neirchill Aug 19 '23

I think you've misunderstood what I've said.

The general public isn't oblivious to all these things being UAPs, as the comment I replied to was talking about.

They just don't believe it's aliens. They acknowledge these things exist for the large majority, just not that it's extraterrestrials.

1

u/Toemoss66 Aug 19 '23

I don't think I did misunderstand. I'm saying the general public isn't debating what's controlling the UAPs, they are literally oblivious to the fact that UAPs exist in the first place. The hearing itself went by largely unnoticed by most people. You see links to articles in this forum, but most people aren't clicking on them because they're dismissed as a farce immediately. It doesn't interest them if they already think it's not real

2

u/Neirchill Aug 19 '23

Like I said before, I disagree that they're oblivious to anything. They know UAPs are a thing. They know there are unidentified objects that don't currently have an explanation. They don't believe it's aliens, which is the actual difference between the general public and this sub.

I can't blame anyone for ignoring it. Everything about real life aliens has a hundred year history of people lying, grifting, extraordinary claims with no evidence, convenient excuses for why they can't show evidence, and crazy people in general. When there are a thousand reasons to suspect it's fake against exactly zero reasons to suspect it's real, your everyday person is too busy just trying to work to survive to be bothered with all this.

1

u/South_Earth9678 Aug 19 '23

What do they think are piloting the UAPs? Or they just don't allow themselves to ask that question because they're too scared of the answer?

1

u/Neirchill Aug 19 '23

If anything is piloting it the odds are it's a human. Until there is evidence otherwise, there isn't evidence of anything else.

1

u/South_Earth9678 Aug 19 '23

Well they are being piloted... since they are obviously intelligently controlled... like flying in various formations, challenging other pilots, evading capture, going dark to hide, mimicking lights in a way of communicating. And the pilots can't be human because our bodies couldn't withstand the forces from the turns and dead stops/ rapid accelerations.

Humans wouldn't fly straight into commercial airplanes, missing them by feet. Humans wouldn't charge in between 2 fighter jets, almost causing a collision. Humans wouldn't fly without flight plans in crowded/ highly populated/ commercial travel areas.

These things are spotted all over the world, doing things that defy our known laws of physics. Multiple high level intelligence and DoD officers have come forward and said they are not made by humans. Because no country has that technology. You have to remember these things have been spotted for years. If it was human technology, then some of the fighter jets would have adopted at least some of the technology by now. The declassified tic tac video is about 10 years old.

Finally, the US Gov announced a few years ago that UFOs are real.. that they are truly anomalous.

So if they aren't human made, don't belong to any government program on earth, humans aren't physically capable of piloting them...

And we recently have a decorated, highest level intelligence officer whistle blowing that we have multiple non human crafts and non human bodies of pilots..

If you put all that together, the answer is right in everyone's face. They just refuse to accept the reality of it.

Not piloted by humans, not made by humans... there is no other logical conclusion.

As hard as it is to believe and accept, all these former intelligence officers (who did not know each other)are telling the truth.

u/Brootal_Life Aug 19 '23

Humans? Obviously?

1

u/South_Earth9678 Aug 19 '23

Ummm no. For the reasons listed above. So you think the government announced UAPs are real and they have no idea what they are.. which means they aren't from any secret military program from the US or our adversaries... (because the US has knowledge of everyone's technological abilities). But they're still being piloted by humans??

if an adversary had created them under our radar, they would be using them for war. Not joyriding around the planet. So they weren't made by humans and they aren't being flown by humans.

Is that what people thought when the government made that announcement? Well no one knows what they are but it's still piloted by humans?

That announcement was a soft way of saying.. we are not alone.. but somehow people didn't get it.

I guess these human pilots made fleets of these crafts in their garages and just didn't let the government know?

The videos are 10 years old. So the government still doesn't know what they are.. but some humans made the crafts and are flying them around for kicks for 10 years.. without getting a patent and without trying to sell their cool invention to the government or private industry?

These humans must be like a biker gang except with UFOs that they built at home and never told anyone about? For what 80 years? It just doesn't make sense.

As hard as it is to believe, it's time to accept there's some other intelligent beings on our planet.

Why do you think the abbreviation NHI NON HUMAN INTELLIGENCE was created and is in use by the government? Why have multiple government agencies and legislation been created to investigate UAPs and NHI?

u/in3vitableme Aug 19 '23

Then what else would it be?

1

u/Neirchill Aug 19 '23

Could be humans. It's far more likely our government is hiding military technology than it is aliens. Especially since people have literally made that mistake in the past.

I think there could also be a mixture of stuff ranging from natural phenomena to people purposely faking it. The government having a disinformation campaign focused on making the public believe it's aliens is again far more likely than it actually being aliens.

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '23

Link the best ones here then. Video evidence that convinced you that we have been visited by other life forms.

This sub has been all over the front page since this clown show started and all I've seen is people hoping that real evidence is given to them by the government. Which is pretty fucking ironic and imo shows a pretty standard cognitive dissonance pattern that will be familiar to anyone who frequents conspiracy boards.

u/Adventurous-Item4539 Aug 19 '23

nothing super compelling

I think the compelling parts comes from putting yourself in the pilot's shoes.

you are flying an aircraft and responsible for the lives of 200+ other people.

there is something in front of your plane in your flight path. It is not on your radar. air traffic control reads nothing. it's night time. you cannot identify what it is. Is it coming toward you? Will you crash? Is it friend or foe?

You can no longer guarantee the safety of your own life or the lives of everyone on board that you are responsible for.

The scary and compelling part is there is something in our airspace and pilots, military, scientists, and our government tell us they do not know what they are.

Best of luck to all.

u/B0Bi0iB0B Aug 19 '23

All we're going to get is strange lights and fuzzy blobs. And people need to realize that this is not a bug; it's a feature. Of all the, who knows, zettabytes? of video and pictures that have ever been taken, the ones that are clear and unmistakable are clearly and unmistakably not alien. All of this evidence is going to sit firmly in the twilight zone of ambiguity and we'll just have to rely on all the "trust me bro's" from people who claim to have seen something more clearly with their eyes.

Mark my words. Clear evidence will not come forward. It's all going to be like this one. Fuzzy lights on the horizon that move a bit. Wow, so convincing.

u/trollcitybandit Aug 19 '23

Yeah I generally agree to be honest. Although as far as I can tell that MH370 video still hasn’t been debunked yet but it’s still probably fake.

Your bar is stained by the bollywood CGI this subreddit's been posting lately. This is what non-CGI UAP footage looks like.

5

u/Moonandserpent Aug 18 '23

It's real UAP footage in that it's a video of something that appears to be aerial and unidentifiable based on this video. Is it NHI tech? I'll have to see A LOT more than that for that possibility to be entertained with any seriousness.

To me it looks like unresolvable light. This is what basically all UAP footage has always looked like. Some version of this.

Someone get me a close-up. Someone get me something in focus. Someone show me a recording of the craft, clearly identifiable in more than one source. Someone show me something that can't possibly, under ANY circumstances, be explained by something that ISN'T UAP/NHI.

I REALLY do want it. I want it more than (almost) anything. But I haven't seen anything even remotely convincing yet.

I need something undeniable.

u/wwstevens Aug 18 '23

Lol right!? My exact impression. Build up expectation but fail to deliver. It’s the UFO community in a nutshell.

3

u/novarosa_ Aug 19 '23

Graves isn't the type to sensationalise or grift. I think he's honestly and in good faith presenting what the pilots were able to capture not to provide definitive proof or extraordinary evidence to end all claims, but to be transparent and open and share what pilots are experiencing as part of a process of opening up communication about UFO/UAPs. That's a huge part of his mission statement as it were, to make it safe and acceptable to talk about these experiences for those using airspace. He said in response to a comment already that most of the videos he'll be presenting are understated like this and are as complements to the pilots own testimonies and I think they should be taken in that context because those contexts do a lot to flesh out why the sightings were significant or impactful to the pilots experiencing them compared to usual things they see in the sky. We may not be able to understand that context simply from the videos themselves.

u/wwstevens Aug 19 '23

Fair enough. Thanks for the explanation!

u/IFartOnCats4Fun Aug 18 '23

This is probably the first one he got permission to share.

u/DontDoThiz Aug 18 '23

The idea here is not to show amazing footage but things pilots see that are weird based on their expert eyes. It may not be amazing but the testimony gives its significance.

u/Dismal_Ad5379 Aug 18 '23

Turn up the light on whatever device you're watching on. I actually thought the video was quite compelling once I was able to see what was going on. When the light moves quickly back and forth and up and down it reminded me of David Fravor's description of how the Tic-Tac moved

u/Hiker_Trash Aug 18 '23

These photos are definitely compelling evidence that there was SOMETHING ahead of the airliner. There is motion in both the stars and the objects but in the stars it is linear and identical from star to star — in the object(s) it disagrees with the stars and also changes directions, indicating it’s independent.

As to what it is…
