Deep Dive
Why are the fears about the drones looking for a missing nuke unfounded?
Government agencies responsible for weapons of mass destruction, such as the Department of Energy, have assured Ryan Graves that there is no loose nuke or WMD that the drones are pursuing. If there was, these agencies would be working nonstop to resolve the issue.
Why are the government and military not taking more decisive actions against the drones?
There are legal and operational challenges. Drones are primarily operating in Class G airspace, which is low and away from airports. The government needs a warrant to intercept these signals, and base commanders need permission from the Secretary of Defense to take action, which can be politically risky.
Why do the drones exhibit such unusual behavior and capabilities?
The drones are making sharp turns at low altitudes, operating in groups, and staying in the sky for extended periods without detectable heat signatures. This suggests they may have advanced, possibly autonomous technology that is not well understood.
Why is Ryan Graves uniquely qualified to discuss UAPs?
Ryan Graves is a former Navy pilot with extensive experience flying the F/A-18F Super Hornet. He has encountered UAPs firsthand and has interacted with various government organizations and experts on the topic.
Why is the government not telling the public about UAPs, if they know more?
The government might be withholding information due to national security concerns or the classification of the technology. However, if it's about advanced UAPs and not a military secret, the information should be shared with the public.
Why are the drone sightings happening now in such large numbers?
The sightings started around two years ago and have escalated, possibly due to advancements in technology or a strategic decision to test public reaction. The lack of a clear and coordinated government response adds to the mystery.
Why would China be a significant factor in the UAP conversation?
China is heavily investing in deep technologies, including quantum computing and advanced drone capabilities. They might be researching and developing technologies related to UAPs, putting pressure on the U.S. to either keep secrets or advance their own research.
Why is the government's approach to UAPs seen as a hard problem but not unsolvable?
There are existing technologies and methods that can be employed to detect and track UAPs. A public, unclassified scientific investigation with high-level support from the government could help resolve the issue and push the conversation forward.
Why is the idea of a highly advanced civilization visiting Earth plausible?
If an advanced civilization has developed technology far beyond our current capabilities, they might use sophisticated means to travel and communicate. The UAPs could be their way of monitoring us without direct interaction, similar to how we might send probes to other planets.
Why is the underwater civilization theory considered more outlandish than the alien theory?
The idea of an underwater civilization is harder to accept because it suggests we have coexisted with an advanced life form without knowing it. This would require significant changes in our understanding of biology and ocean exploration, making it seem more far-fetched than the alien hypothesis.
