Why Pilots Aren’t Reporting UAP: Part I of a Five-Part Series on Aviation Sightings, Safety, and Reporting Barriers

To the point

Former F-18 pilot Ryan Graves launches a five‑part series on UAP that ties Navy UFO videos to new reports from commercial pilots, with Part I explaining why pilots aren’t reporting and Parts II–V promising deeper looks at low and high altitude sightings, safer reporting options, and broader policy implications, while reader comments from fellow pilots and observers—including Fortenberry and Nash—describe a pyramid of light off the Virginia coast, older incidents, translations of NASA documents about extraterrestrials, and Brazil’s Varginha case, and emphasize the need for a safe space to discuss sightings amid career risks and stigma, declassification chatter, and ongoing debates about alien versus unknown technology, as sightings continue in places like San Andreas and beyond.
