This is on point. I'm Magna Chakrabardi.

My name is Ryan Graves. I'm a former lieutenant and F-18 pilot in the US Navy.

In 2015, Ryan Graves was in the briefing room when his fellow pilots on the USS Theodore Roosevelt

came in to talk about what they'd seen in the air. It is a fucking going, bro,

one of my very good friends from my squadron, they noticed that there were a number of

radar contacts that were east of the aircraft carrier and they went to go check out these objects and then they got closer and started breaking out on the fleer

That's when we start to hear some of the communication on the tapes that were released about how they don't know what the object is,

how they're looking at the situational awareness page and seeing a whole fleet of these objects.

There's a whole fleet of them.

My gosh.

They're all going against the wind.

The wind's a hundred and point out from the west.

I'm going to Alti, dude.

The Situational Awareness page is a God's eye view with the aircraft itself in the center.

On that screen you see the gimble video and you also see the radar information on the situational awareness page that shows the formation of other objects that were in the vicinity of the gimble that were flying in what appeared to me as a wedge formation.

A wedge formation that executed a turn,

a 180 degree turn, and the gimbal object essentially stopped and followed that formation.

That's not a lot that stuff, is it?

It's not I do now when I see it.

Look at that thing.
