Ryan 'FOBS' Graves, a former Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy and F/A-18F pilot, served for a decade, completing two deployments in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Inherent Resolve. Graves made history as the first active-duty military pilot to publicly report regular sightings of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). His story has been featured in major media outlets including Politico, NBC News, 60 Minutes, The History Channel, The New York Times, and on The Joe Rogan Experience.
Graves is the founder and executive director of Americans for Safe Aerospace, the first nonprofit organization led by military pilots that focuses on UAP as critical issues of national security, aerospace safety, and scientific inquiry.
Additionally, Graves serves as the inaugural Chair of the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Integration & Outreach Committee (UAPIOC) at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). In this role, he represents over 30,000 aerospace professionals. The UAPIOC's mission is to serve as a neutral, science-driven organization aimed at ensuring safer operations in both commercial and military air and space activities.
Graves previously worked on advanced military autonomy applications at BAE Systems FAST Labs.
