Navy F/A-18 Pilots Describe East Coast UAP Encounters Linked to AESA Radar Upgrades and Updated Reporting Procedures
To the point
Five Navy F/A-18 pilots, including Lt. Ryan Graves and Lt. Danny Accoin, reported on-the-record sightings of unexplained objects off the East Coast in 2014–2015, with corroboration from The New York Times, and these events lined up with the introduction of the AN/APG-79 AESA radar that improved tracking and led the Navy to standardize how suspected intrusions are reported.
