Ryan Graves, a Navy F-18 pilot, moved from skepticism to documenting sensor-confirmed UAPs near Virginia Beach in 2014—including a dark gray cube inside a clear sphere and clustered objects moving up to Mach 1.2—and this history intersected with the 2017 AATIP revelations and 2023 hearings featuring Grusch's claims about long-running reverse engineering and non-human biology, followed by his Americans for Safe Aerospace effort to connect pilots and forward hundreds of cases to the FBI, plus a notable near-collision with a large triangular object over South Africa.
