Ryan Graves: UFOs, Fighter Jets, and Aliens | Lex Fridman Podcast #308

Thank you for getting into podcasting, Lex. I like Rogan but as an engineer myself I was frustrated that he didn't seem to be asking the right questions of his science-literate guests. You've really filled that niche without sacrificing the human element of the conversation- you're killing it!

I love how much Lex has been covering these UFO related topics.

FOBS (Graves' callsign) was a student of mine when he was learning the F-18. We also went to Aviation Safety Officer's school together. He's a solid dude.

This chap is on another level. Damn, he’s an extremely concise talker, a really interesting listen. Cheers Lex

I’ve seen Ryan speak on many occasions and what I love about this chat you’ve asked beyond technical questions. Humanity and philosophy. This was extremely thoughtful and mind opening. Thank you

Surprisingly I really enjoyed this entire interview from start to finish. Tuned in for the UFO stuff but stayed for the rest.

I've listened to this almost every night since I've heard it to fall asleep. Ryan's and lex's voice is so relaxing. Quite a few times I heard Ryan mention landing at night on the ship it's terrifying to imagine being on that situation..relying on someone on board to see a little light on your jet to help you land...yet it's so peaceful to listen to that story ,....landing on a dark ship middle of ocean. Amazing. These fighter pilots are a whole other level so much respect is due

Great episode, I much prefer people like this over 'celebrities'.

This is the most wise, non-bias, professional and respectful UFO talk I've ever heard.
