Something I can't wrap my head around Ross, unknown assets are flying over a critical military installation and they arent doing anything about it, yet if a civilian drives up to military base then all security wakes up.... Only one thing comes up to my mind, they already know what it is. 💯
-
A retail drone over 3lbs will get you arrested flying over your local airport, but the military doesn't care about their airspace? Makes sense.
-
Excellent discussion. I’m a former Navy pilot (age 72 now) who experienced an encounter with a UFO (UAP) in 1975, and it resulted in my “Honorable Discharge” with an agreement to never speak about it or face consequences.
-
Cannot understate how much covering this topic and having Ross on the team sets this news outlet above all else.
-
If these are adversary drones they would 100% not be flying over our military base with flashing lights to broadcast their presence!
-
Ryan is so lucid and wholesome, great character
-
Safe Airspace for Americans Act - Yes - Thank you sir! My father was a private pilot. And, he served in the Royal Canadian Navy during WWII. I am his voice, may he fly in peace. There's alot of crazy unidentified stuff in the air. These pilots, whom we trust with our lives, should be able to freely report and discuss anomalies in the air.
-
whats surprising is despite something so drastic in our skies, this is not on mainstream media across the world
-
Lt. Ryan Graves is an honest man, with great integrity and an American hero.
-
Thank you for reporting what most mainstream news channels choose to hide. Your one channel we trust in. ⭐
-
Whatever else you consider about this "craft" the fact that it is hovering over one of our MILITARY BASES says it all!! 😮
-
The fact that they are blinking just like conventional aircraft and drones have done since almost day 1 makes me think these are terrestrial craft, not true UAPs.
-
Thank you Ross! for being at the forefront of UAP disclosure.
-
Thank you Jonathan for sharing your video and story. Thank you Ross for caring enough to back him and offer help if he is harassed. You show our media what having a spine looks and sounds like. Your treatment of the UAP/uFO subject has set the standard for how an ethical journalist CAN behave. The majority of America thanks you.
-
Like to Thank Cmdr Ryan Graves Ret USN F-18 pilot for his Service to our country and for having the courage to come forward about his personal encounter W-72 MOA April 15,2023 and Dec 14 2023 Sightings over Langley AFB,Va Thank you for your concerns about Air Traffic Safety issues

My father was a USMC pilot for about 16 years (1943-1959) and a corporate pilot for more than 30 years. I pressed him to reveal his observations, which he did circumspectly. He did not offer interpretations. I am a professional archeologist (30 years Federal). I have witnessed at least two UAPs in my adult life as well. I'm trained to observe and assess. I very much appreciate Lt. Graves approach to approaching these in terms of flight safety and taking these observations seriously.
-
Bravo Ross, this is the sort of professional journalism we need to get all answers we deserve. Please keep doing this good work although it may not be easy 🙏!
-
So frustrating hearing people complain that there isn't a huge breakthrough every other day, then criticize the very people who are pushing for disclosure because they won't burn all their contacts by revealing everything with no tact.
-
WHY worry, report everything. I have noticed that sometimes reporting can be difficult. From personal experience,many failures, even though I thought at the time, this was something profound & a little scary. For me about 50 years . I always followed the military's take on this subject. Very revealing !
-
Ryan simply refuses to take the bate and engage in sensationalism around the topic of UAP. Every time he's asked to speculate, he calmly but firmly redirects the conversation back to data and/or pilot safety. I continue to be amazed at his poise and persistence with delivering his message.
