#308 – Ryan Graves: UFOs, Fighter Jets, and Aliens

Lt. Ryan Graves is a former Navy fighter pilot, who has worked on
advanced research and development programs for DARPA, Office of
Naval Research, and Air Force Research Labs on topics of
multi-agent collaborative autonomy, AI-assisted air-to-air
combat, and manned-unmanned teaming technologies. Ryan and people
in his squadron detected and engaged with UFOs on multiple
occasions, and he has been one of the few people willing to speak
publicly about these experiences. Please support this podcast by
