US Navy fighter pilot said he saw UFOs 'pretty much daily' while on duty

A former US Navy fighter pilot has spoken out about UFOs and said he saw them "pretty much daily" while he was on duty.

Lt Ryan Graves spoke out and shared his experiences with squadron VFA-11 - known as the Red Rippers - saying that whenever they went up in the air, they'd come into contact with something unexpected.

He said there would be flashing lights, strange crafts, and other things he couldn't explain - and in the end they were chalked up as UAPs, another name for UFOs.

Ryan said such occurrences happened "pretty much daily", after his first experience when he was on a training mission off the cost of Virginia, USA.

Ryan said: "It was almost as if the sun was shining a flashlight (on the UAPs).

"We were trying to figure out what the heck these things were. We were seeing them pretty much daily. We would go out there and they would be out there in the morning, they would be out there in the evening.

"These things were pretty much always out there. That would range from two to three of them, to six or seven."

Ryan was a Super Hornet pilot, and now he's speaking out as he wants to encourage others to share their sightings.

Meanwhile, one UFO spotter believes he has made an 'important' discovery on the red planet in video footage released by NASA - and says it could be proof of alien life.

Scott Waring runs the blog UFO Sightings Daily where he shines light on all the weird and wonderful news he can find, and video clips from the red planet have been a treasure trove for him in the past.

Now Scott believes he has found something in an image from the Mars Perseverance rover's video feed - which he thinks is a "ten-meter" disk crashed into the surface of the planet.

Describing it as a "perfect circle", Scott suspects it could be an alien craft - but he fears that if Elon Musk gets to Mars first, he could claim it for himself.
