Graves is a former US Navy F/A-18 pilot. He states that during his active service, he experienced repeated sightings of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), and others also reported them to him. These reports are eyewitness accounts of sightings, not findings independently verified by the provided sources.
In July 2023, he testified before the US House Oversight Committee regarding unidentified anomalous phenomena. He founded Americans for Safe Aerospace, a non-profit organization that addresses UAP in the context of national security and aviation safety, and also serves as chair of the AIAA Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Committee. Previously, he worked at BAE Systems FAST Labs on advanced military applications of autonomy.
Graves is described as one of the first active-duty military pilots to speak publicly about such repeated reports. The official interest in his testimony reflects the treatment of these phenomena as a national security and aviation safety issue that requires investigation, rather than an affirmation that they are extraterrestrial craft.
