July 26, 2023, Washington, D.C. Three men sit down in front of a congressional committee.
Commander David Fravor, Lieutenant Ryan Graves, former Air Force intelligence officer David Grusch.
Each has a background that gives members of Congress a reason to listen, but their stories are very different.
Fravor and another aircraft approach, and what happens next becomes one of the most discussed military encounters in modern UAP history.
We're not going to repeat the entire story here, but there's something important about Fravor's appearance before Congress.
He was describing something he personally saw, and when he discussed the object's behavior, he did so as an experienced fighter pilot.
It doesn't mean his interpretation is automatically correct, but it does mean that we have a direct witness whose account can be examined.
How does this person know? A pilot might personally see an object and then learn about a radar track from somebody else.
Graves described reports of unidentified objects appearing in military training areas along the East Coast.
And he brought up something that tends to get lost whenever the conversation turns to extraterrestrials.
You're concentrating on your instruments, your mission and the aircraft around you.
