Analysis of the full motion video, combined with commercial flight data in the region, led AARO to assess that the objects were three separate commercial aircraft flying at a great distance from the infrared sensor. The radar tracks for commercial aircraft aligned with the objects, which were only seen as small dots due to their significant distance from the sensor.

An MQ-9 forward-looking infrared video sensor captured this footage in South Asia as it was recording another MQ-9. After analysis of the full motion video, inclusion of additional footage with a longer focal length, and analysis of commercial flight data in the region, AARO assesses that the object likely is a commercial aircraft and that the trailing cavitation is a sensor artifact resultant of video compression.

In this episode, join Alex and Ryan in conversation about post-pilot life, the impacts of their experiences after publicly discussing the UAP (UFO) topic, and their aspirations for a systematic reporting process for pilots with similar experiences.

This clip was taken by an MQ-9 in the Middle East, and while AARO assesses the object in the clip is not exhibiting anomalous behavior, the object remains unidentified.

Join us for an in-depth discussion of aviation safety practices and how they have come to be, the opportunities ahead for the study of UAP (UFO) experiences by pilots, and Dr. Whiteley's efforts to enhance safety training for aviators encountering UAP.

Cmdr. David Fravor is a graduate of the TOPGUN naval flight program. He was a commander of the F/A-18F squadron on the USS Nimitz when he experienced an Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP, UFO) during a routine training flight over the Pacific Ocean in 2004.

Ryan Graves sits down with Professor Avi Loeb, a renowned scientist from Harvard University, to explore the fascinating world of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).

Join us for a riveting conversation as Ryan Graves discusses theories, impacts, and the push for further inquiry and research in the UAP (UFO) space as part of this fascinating conversation with Associate Professor Robin Hanson.

Join us as Ryan Graves engages in a profound conversation with Associate Professor Matthew Szydagis. Explore the bond between Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena and the quest to unravel the secrets of dark matter.

Curt Jaimungal & Ryan Graves explore profound topics surrounding UAP (UFOs) and consciousness. Curt expands upon his view of reality and explains why remaining open and inquisitive leads to a deeper understanding of the universe.

In this episode, we get an inside look into the groundbreaking Galileo project, which is currently studying UAP (UFOs), through the eyes of research fellow Abby White. Abby explains how she integrated into the Galileo Project, her experience working on it, and the tools used to study UAP (UFOs).

In this episode, Christiaan van Heijst explores his vast decades of flying planes where he details several experiences of witnessing anomalies that he can't explain. He explains those Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) sightings with us and the photos that he has captured of these unexplainable objects in the sky.

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.

Kegan Gill’s life changed forever after narrowly surviving a jet crash in which he set the record for the fastest ejection in naval aviation history. Today, he shares his story of the accident, his miraculous physical recovery, and the extreme hardships he faced following the incident.

Pilot Mark Hulsey is a former F/A-18 Hornet turned commercial pilot who has encountered UAP multiple times in his 12,000 hours of flight time. Frustrated, Mark questions why these phenomena are not openly investigated and reflects on the backlash he has received, mysteriously missing radar footage, and why everyone has the right to know what’s happening.

On this first episode of the Merged Podcast, we explore the impact of UAP Sightings on the scientific community, and how we can study this technology to innovate our current systems on Earth.
