45% of pilots have seen UAP. 90% don't report them. Not because of ridicule - because FAA regulations can classify unexplained sightings as hallucinations, ending careers.
Ryan Graves' testimony revealed these encounters are "routine" in military airspace. But there's something deeper here: maybe the phenomenon tests our capacity for collective belief before revealing itself fully.
I connected the Americans for Safe Aerospace white paper to John Mack's work, Indigenous relational ontologies, and the question of whether we're mature enough as a civilization for contact.
To add to your piece, I understand the reason John Mack got involved in this stuff in the first place was precisely because of what Ryan Graves is describing.
Before Mack was interested in abductees, he was tasked, or took the task upon himself, to do psyche examinations of military personnel and officers who'd had anomolous experiences. Needless to say he found what the said interesting enough to further his investigations.
