A former pilot for the US military has revealed he believes the hundreds of UFOs he’s seen are a “security threat”.
Ryan Graves, a former pilot for the US Navy, told60 Minutes on CBS he witnessed “unidentified vessels” flying off the coast of Virginia every day for two years.
He said he is among many military flyers who witnessed the UFO activity, which began in 2019. Graves revealed he was concerned by it as well as the Pentagon’s response to the sightings.
Graves said: “I am worried, frankly. You know, if these were tactical jets from another country that were hanging out up there, it would be a massive issue.”

Next month, the US military departments have a deadline to publish unclassified reports of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) to Congress.
The former naval pilot believes the Pentagon has not wanted to face the problem in the airspace.
He said: “We’re not willing to actually look at the problem in the face,” adding, "We’re happy to just ignore that these are out there, watching us every day.”
Graves also made the suggestion that the devices could potentially be spying for other countries.
He explained: “This is a difficult one to explain. You have rotation, you have high altitudes. You have propulsion, right?
“I don’t know. I don’t know what it is, frankly. I would say, you know, the highest probability is it’s a threat observation program.”
Another former Navy pilot, David Fravo, explained just how advanced these devices were compared to the war-grade plane he was flying in.
He said: “I don’t know who’s building it, who’s got the technology, who’s got the brains. But there’s, there’s something out there that was better than our airplane.”
Last month, the Pentagon confirmed that footage from US Navy officers showing triangular-shaped objects flashing and moving in the sky was real.
