Pilot Breaks the Silence on UAP Encounters - with Chris Van Voorhis | Merged Podcast EP 4

Pilot Chris Van Voorhis has been flying a plane since the age of 14, and has had decades of experience with over 30,000 flight hours. Today, he shares the many encounters he has had with UAP while flying, and reveals that many of the pilots he knows have also seen these objects. He shares why he believes airlines are attempting to silence pilots from speaking on this matter, and why this skepticism is holding us back. He also explains his perspective on what impact disclosure would have on humanity, and if we should consider this a safety threat.     ===   TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 1:04 Becoming a Pilot at 14 7:20 First Encounter with a UAP  14:15 Airlines Silencing Witnesses 22:25 How it Changed Me 27:08 Recent Sightings   36:37 This will change humanity 41:41 What UAP Look Like 43:53 Safety Concerns - Is This a Threat? 50:23 Is This Common? 53:37 Ryan’s Experiences 58:07 Conclusion    ===   Pilot Chris Van Voorhis: - At age 14 started flying with the Civil Air Patrol - Domestic and international commercial pilot with over 30,000 flight hours - Military contracted pilot for Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm - Airbus 330 Flight instructor - Former Police Officer   ===   Ryan Graves:  AIAA UAP: https://www.aiaauap.org Twitter: @uncertainvector   Connect with Us:    Website: http://www.mergedpodcast.com Merged Point: https://www.mergedpoint.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MERGED is a platform to enable the mainstream exploration of UAP through the lens of pilots, scientists, and innovators.  Ryan will host discussions on UAP that prioritize scientific inquiry and maintain an open-minded approach. In addition to exchanging ideas, MERGED will serve as a conduit for identifying technologies, companies, and individuals that can contribute to the ecosystem of UAP research and understanding. Ryan Graves is a former pilot who flew the F-18 Super Hornet fighter jet. In 2014, he and his colleagues regularly encountered unidentified aerospace phenomena (UAP) off the coast of Virginia Beach. These sightings were so frequent that they had to cancel training missions. By 2021, there have been 11 documented near misses with UAP. The MERGED Podcast is here to explore this phenomenon and the efforts to understand it through the perspective of pilots, scientists, and innovators. Ryan believes that the UAP phenomenon is an engineering problem and that a rational, science-first approach is needed to explore it.
