Podcast cover

The Joe Rogan Experience

Ryan Graves, a former Navy F-18 pilot, recounts his experiences with unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) encountered during training missions, focusing on incidents from 2014 onward when his squadron upgraded their radar systems. He describes objects exhibiting unusual flight patterns, including hovering stationary against high winds and performing abrupt maneuvers, with one near mid-air collision prompting a safety report. Graves details the "gimbal" video, explaining the FLIR technology used and the object's peculiar rotation. He expresses frustration over the lack of formal investigation into these UAPs, advocating for scientific analysis and data collection rather than relying on military tools. The conversation explores potential origins, from advanced terrestrial technology to extraterrestrial or interdimensional entities, and touches upon the challenges of classification and transparency.
