() We could just be days away from a major step toward UFO transparency.

Ryan Graves, the first active duty military pilot to come forward regarding UFO sightings, joined “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” ahead of Tuesday’s Congressional UFO task force meeting.

The meeting will be followed by a roundtable with experts and then a full committee hearing next month.

It follows the National Archives updating its website last week with a button now on its website for all UFO-related documents to live in one place.

Graves does not believe information from Tuesday’s or next month’s meeting will be immediately conveyed to the American people; however, it will “better arm the task force and correctional members to go forward and bring that information forward eventually.”

Many pilots have felt intimidated about what they have witnessed, but Graves contends this is changing to some degree.

“There still is a lot of institutional stigma and the lack of proper reporting channels, but at safeaerospace.org, we have air crew professionals reporting to us every day about what they are seeing,” he told Elizabeth Vargas.

“And there is still much concern about where these are from, what the national security implications are, and what the safety implications of them are.”

Graves added that there will always be a human element to any UFO sighting.

“We can’t forget that this is something that people have to deal with on a daily basis.”
