Safe Aerospace Podcast
The Safe Aerospace Podcast, hosted by former F/A-18 pilot Ryan Graves, brings together military aviators, commercial pilots, air traffic controllers, aerospace professionals, and policymakers to discuss UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena) in controlled airspace. Each episode features firsthand accounts from credentialed professionals, analysis of emerging policy developments, and conversations with researchers and lawmakers. The show aims to bring scientific rigor and institutional accountability to a long-stigmatized issue, exploring what UAP encounters mean for flight safety, national security, and airspace transparency.
