Graves (F-18/ASA)
Purpose: F-18 pilot; Safe Aerospace founder Category: Key Figure Profile This node profiles Graves (F-18/ASA), a significant figure in the UAP and advanced aerospace research space. The profile connects to 9 related entities, mapping their role in the disclosure and research network.
Key Relationships
- → Mellon (Full Background) (assessment): Graves = pilot witness + advocacy organization. Mellon = political architect + Disclosure Foundation. Both built institutional infrastructure for disclosure. Americans for Safe Aerospace + Disclosure Foundation = complementary organizations.
- ← Gallaudet (Adm/NOAA) (assessment): Both Navy witnesses. Gallaudet = Admiral (command level). Graves = F-18 pilot (operational level). Same service, different perspectives. Graves's squadron was part of USS Theodore Roosevelt CSG that Gallaudet's email was about.
- → July 2023 Hearing (assessment): Graves testified at July 26, 2023 hearing — first public UAP hearing. One of three witnesses (with Grusch + Fravor). 'First active duty pilot to come forward publicly.' Hearing launched modern congressional UAP engagement.
- → Grusch Full Testimony (assessment): Both July 2023 witnesses. Graves = pilot witness (regular sightings). Grusch = intelligence whistleblower (crash retrieval). Same hearing, complementary testimony. Pilot witness + intelligence witness = complete picture.
- → Gallaudet (Adm/NOAA) (assessment): Both Navy. Graves's F-18 squadron was part of USS Theodore Roosevelt CSG. Gallaudet received 'URGENT SAFETY OF FLIGHT' email about that exercise. Graves = pilot in the exercise, Gallaudet = commander receiving the alert.
- ← Dietrich (Tic Tac) (assessment): Both Navy F-18 pilots. Dietrich = Tic Tac witness (2004). Graves = regular sightings (2010s). Both naval aviators who encountered UAP. Dietrich's 2021 public statement helped pave way for Graves's 2023 testimony.
