Pilots argue that sudden appearances of UAPs may lead to a loss of situational awareness or to emergency manoeuvres, fearing that the phenomena could temporarily cause malfunctions in aircraft sensors and communication systems

I noticed a bright circle about the size of a city bus flying down the runway WESTBOUND at a very high speed. Speed was approximately twice or triple the speed of a regular departing aircraft (A321). It flew low at about 50ft and as it approached the end it ascended vertically at high speed and disappeared.

The New York Times reported that the real reason why the FAA shut down the El Paso airspace was that immigration officials had used an antidrone laser shared by the Pentagon without coordinating with the FAA.

Audio recording of Pilot with ATC of a UAP

Graves points out a couple of changes in reporting towards an open database of UAP reports accessible for all Pilots, and a Permanent designation for UAP as a workplace hazard... excellent information here.

Pilot Well-being and General Health: Common occupational health-related consequences of UAP events likely include social isolation, psychological distress, self-doubt, and career-related anxiety (i.e., fear of job loss). These considerations can expand for trends in reports of psychological, emotional, social, or physical health issues associated with UAP events.

Flight Safety should not have to be compromised for millions of passengers every day.

Pilots should not fear job loss for reporting UAP inflight. They should be given training and awareness of the impacts of UAP during their training and be provided with ongoing training...FAA should require the Current NARCAP Advisory to be posted on the FAA website for All Pilots awareness.

>On Monday, August 3, at exactly 6:40 PM CDT, I captured this footage of a massive, dark triangular object while onboard my flight from Jackson, MS, to Atlanta, GA. Sitting on the right side of the aircraft looking South, we were 37 minutes into the flight and roughly 16 minutes from landing, placing the object near the AL/GA state line (approximately 5 miles south of Carrollton, GA).

The A319 was descending and turning left when the crew suddenly saw a disc‑shaped object heading straight towards them at the same altitude.

>"Almost every Pilot I talked to you about this is waiting for their retirement to talk about this"-- Ryan Graves

Molokai resident Tami Dixon said the incident: 'Literally scared the hell out of me. Both pilots looked at each other and veered to the right.'

Noticeable absent in the nine member UAP review board is an Aviation advocate. Why do we not have a voice represented to promote Aviation Safety and promote Aviation warnings and advisories for the Aviation community?

Argument for Including an Aviation Professional on a UAP Review Board

The inclusion of an experienced aviation professional on any Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) Review Board is essential to ensuring that aviation safety remains a central priority. Military and civilian aviators are often among the most credible witnesses to UAP events and possess specialized knowledge that can help distinguish between conventional aviation hazards, atmospheric phenomena, and genuinely unidentified incidents.

Key Reasons for Aviation Representation:

• Enhances Aviation Safety Provides expert analysis of potential hazards to aircraft operations. Identifies risks to commercial, military, and general aviation pilots.
• Helps develop procedures to reduce the likelihood of mid-air conflicts. Firsthand Operational Expertise Aviation professionals understand aircraft performance, navigation systems, radar limitations, weather effects, and cockpit operations. They can accurately evaluate pilot reports within the context of normal flight operations.
• Improves Incident Evaluation Separates equipment malfunctions, atmospheric phenomena, drones, balloons, and conventional aircraft from genuinely unexplained events. Ensures investigations are based on aviation standards and evidence.
• Strengthens Pilot Reporting Encourages pilots to report unusual encounters without fear of ridicule or professional repercussions.
• Promotes standardized reporting procedures across military and civilian aviation. Bridges Military and Civilian Aviation Facilitates communication between the Department of Defense, FAA, airlines, general aviation organizations, and air traffic control.
• Encourages sharing of safety lessons while protecting classified information when necessary. Supports Air Traffic Safety Assesses whether UAP encounters create collision hazards, airspace disruptions, or interference with navigation and communications. Recommends mitigation strategies to aviation authorities.
• Provides Risk Assessment Evaluates trends and recurring encounter locations to identify potential aviation safety concerns. Helps prioritize investigations based on the level of operational risk. Contributes Technical Expertise Assists in interpreting radar data, flight recorder information, ADS-B tracks, satellite information, and pilot observations. Improves the technical quality of board findings and recommendations.
• Builds Public Confidence Demonstrates that aviation safety—not speculation—is a primary objective of UAP investigations. Reinforces confidence that qualified experts are evaluating reports objectively. Conclusion

An aviation professional brings a unique combination of operational experience, technical knowledge, and safety expertise that cannot be fully replicated by intelligence, scientific, or military personnel alone. Their participation would ensure that the UAP Review Board maintains a strong focus on protecting pilots, passengers, military personnel, and the flying public while improving the quality, consistency, and credibility of UAP investigations. Given that many of the most significant UAP reports originate from trained aviators, aviation representation should be considered an essential component of any comprehensive UAP oversight structure.

Annual Projected Salary of Review Board Members $195,000 -- Nominated for 7 year terms

(C) shall include at least— (i) 1 current or former national security official;

(ii) 1 current or former foreign service official;

(iii) 1 scientist or engineer;

(iv) 1 economist;

v) 1 professional historian; and

(vi) 1 sociologist

There is currently no requirement for an Aviation member to be part of the Board. This needs to change.

The amendment would require federal agencies to identify, organize, preserve, and transmit covered UAP records to the National Archives under a statutory timeline. It would also establish an independent, Senate-confirmed UAP Records Review Board with subpoena authority to review records, hear testimony, and determine whether information should remain protected under standards established by law.

Isn't it time for Pilots to be aware of UAP by posting a Pilots Advisory in the FAA website?

The incident, which still lacks an airtight explanation, involved a 27-minute air encounter between a veteran World War II fighter pilot, Lt. George F. Gorman and a mysterious white orb at high altitude above Fargo, North Dakota. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” Gorman told a local newspaper following the October 1, 1948 event. “If anyone else had reported such a thing I would have thought they were crazy.”

Excellent article & Pilot witness account with audio with ATC on how the Pilot is noticeably effected by a UAP.. officially confirmed warnings posted by FAA are still needed to reduce the amount of stigma associated with reporting.
