🔥 Fox News: UFO whistleblower and former pilot praises Congress for introducing landmark bill to allow safe UFO reporting
Former Navy pilot and Americans for Safe Aerospace (ASA) co-founder Ryan Graves praised Congress for introducing a landmark bill that would allow pilots to provide information on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in an interview with Fox News Digital.
Graves, who also made history as the first active duty pilot to testify to Congress about unidentified aerial phenomena UAPs, said the legislation is a tremendous step forward in giving civilian pilots a way to provide evidence of their experiences with craft that some whistleblowers have described as moving unnaturally fast and behaving in ways that would seem to defy the laws of physics.
The new bill, called the "Safe Airspace for Americans Act," was introduced by Reps. Robert Garcia (
@RepRobertGarcia), D-Calif., and Glenn Grothman (
@RepGrothman), R-Wis. It is the first bill that would allow civilian pilots to report on UFO sightings and receive legal protections from professional reprisal.
"Our new bipartisan UAP bill, the Safe Airspace for Americans Act, ensures aviation personnel can report UAP encounters or sightings safely to the FAA without fear of retaliation," Garcia wrote in a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter. "It’s a big step forward for transparency and disclosure."
Garcia's language closely echoed that of Graves, who started his own campaign in July "to support commercial aircrew and military UAP witnesses who want to share their accounts." ASA started its own website (
safeaerospace.org) to build a safe "pipeline" for pilots who have witnessed or encountered UAPs directly within their careers to attest to their experience.
"Right now, there is very little formalized support for UAP aircrew witnesses, and Americans for Safe Aerospace has the expertise to mobilize and fill that gap," Graves said when announcing the initiative, shared exclusively with Fox News Digital. "From my own experience, I know firsthand the stigma around the UAP topic and the very real fear of professional consequences, so I want to help others navigate the process of coming forward."
This new bill, filed on Thursday, aims at solving the same problem of encouraging pilots to testify to what they have seen in their careers. The proposed legislation utilizes a previously established "publicly accessible database" that pilots are already familiar with in aviation safety reporting," Graves said. The database "can be accessed through scientists, engineers, aviation safety professionals, news reporters and the general public," all of whom will be able to analyze and talk about the information, should the bill pass.
