Ryan Graves recalled seeing “a dark gray or a black cube inside of a clear sphere” that got within 50 feet of his squadron’s lead aircraft.
in 2014 as he flew an F/A-18 Hornet off the coast of Virginia Beach, saying the unknown object was so jarring his flight commander called off the mission “immediately” and they “returned to base.”
“Our squadron submitted a safety report but there was no official acknowledgement of the incident and no further mechanism to report the sightings,” he said.Retired Navy Commander David Fravor told the hearing that he believed UFOs were a threat to national security, saying their movements appeared to be doing things human technology isn’t yet capable of achieving.
While pilots were encouraged to remain quiet, Graves claimed, sightings of strange objects became a regular occurrence for his squadron. They were so common that Graves’ superiors began working the presence of UFOs into pre-mission flight briefings, he said. Rep. Matt Gaetz said a flight crew previously told him about four UFOs that flew in a diamond over the Gulf of Mexico. When they approached the formation, Gaetz said, the flight crew’s radar went down and their infrared cameras malfunctioned. The crew was able to snap a picture manually that Gaetz said he’d since seen.
