Welcome

A newsletter about UAP by Ryan Graves

Welcome

Hello, my name is Ryan Graves, and it's great to meet you! I hope Everyday Occurrences may encourage others to join me in investigating and learning more about Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena, or UAP. There will be a wide range of subjects covered, such as:

• Detailed recollections of historical events

• Testimonials from other tactical pilots and aircrew who have witnessed these phenomena

• Analysis and community discussion on the changing topic of UAP

Recollections

Since speaking publicly about daily incursions by UAP into controlled US military airspace, no single report of the events has, in my opinion, achieved an utterly accurate depiction. In retrospect, it seems reasonable to expect nuance to be lost. The unique environment in which the events occurred makes effective communication difficult. How does one condense years of flying experience into a brief statement I can easily share? This newsletter will be where I can go into more detail about the nuances of being a F/A-18 pilot to help the average reader understand how strange our skies can be.

Interviews

We'll also hear from other pilots who will share their stories with us, most for the first time. How serious is this safety hazard? What are commercial airline pilots experiencing versus military? I will conduct personal interviews with aircrew to discuss their reports objectively and 'debrief' the discussion for non-aviators.

Community Discussion

Looking to discuss this subject with other people who share your interest? Participate in community discussions about the changing landscape of UAPs, their implications for various aspects of our society, and more. 

Community Artists

Several familiar names from the UAP art community have been enlisted to provide literal and artistic interpretations of events. Many articles will be accompanied by one-of-a-kind art created by community artists, such as:

• Ben Scarborough (lune79)

• Dan Zetterstrom (The Zignal)

• Raphael Kanfer (The Infinite Astronaut)

• Tom Florek

• And more…

Open Data

My goal is to encourage positive and productive interest in this topic among the UAP community and the wider public. I believe that data relevant to understanding UAP should be available to everyone. As such, I will never put such data behind a subscription wall. If you would like to support us, you will be helping us broaden the discussion, generate great art, and encourage more pilots to come forward.

Sincerely,

Ryan Graves
