THE EAST COAST ENCOUNTERS
Flying with strike fighter squadron VFA-11 "Red Rippers" out of Virginia, Graves and his fellow aviators reported objects appearing in their training airspace almost every day for months — holding position in high winds, accelerating without obvious propulsion, and showing up on the upgraded radar and infrared sensors their jets had just received. That window and that airspace are where the Gimbal and GoFast clips were recorded.
ADVOCACY AND TESTIMONY
Graves founded Americans for Safe Aerospace, framing UAP first as a flight-safety and reporting issue: aircrew, he argued, were seeing things they could not identify and had no safe channel to report. At the July 2023 House Oversight hearing he testified that encounters were far more common than the public record suggested and that stigma kept most of them unreported. His emphasis is less on what the objects are than on the fact that trained crews keep recording them.
READ THE RECORD
The footage from that era — military infrared and electro-optical sensor clips — is exactly the class of material in the PURSUE Department of War collection. Umbra renders it natively, so you can watch and read the record the aviators describe, on your iPhone.
