Mission Statement

Americans for Safe Aerospace - Mission Statement Our Mission Americans for Safe Aerospace (ASA) is a military pilot-led nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing aerospace safety, strengthening national security, and advancing scientific understanding through systematic attention to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). We provide critical support systems, advocacy platforms, and evidence-based solutions that protect our skies and those who navigate them. The Challenge Aviation professionals regularly encounter objects demonstrating capabilities beyond our current technological understanding. These encounters pose immediate flight safety risks, create potential national security vulnerabilities, and represent scientific mysteries demanding serious investigation. Professional stigma and institutional obstacles have created dangerous silence around UAP encounters, compromising aviation safety and impeding crucial research. Our Vision We envision a future where aviation professionals can report anomalous encounters without fear of career repercussions, comprehensive data collection systems protect our airspace, scientific investigation advances human knowledge, and transparent policies ensure public awareness of aerospace safety issues. Core Objectives Enhance Aerospace Safety: Through our confidential Witness Program, we document UAP encounters reported by pilots and aerospace professionals, providing aviation authorities with critical safety data to improve flight protocols and risk mitigation strategies. Strengthen National Security: We work with legislative bodies and government agencies to develop monitoring and response protocols, closing critical gaps in domain awareness and ensuring unidentified objects receive appropriate attention from defense and intelligence communities. Advance Scientific Understanding: We champion rigorous investigation of anomalous phenomena, facilitating collaboration between witnesses, scientists, and research institutions to transform anecdotal encounters into analyzable data. Support Affected Professionals: We provide comprehensive resources including confidential counseling, peer support networks, and career protection advocacy for those who have experienced UAP encounters. Our Approach We ground all efforts in verifiable data and firsthand accounts from credible witnesses. Through strategic partnerships with government agencies, aviation companies, military organizations, and research centers, we build collaborative solutions. Our public education initiatives present UAP as legitimate safety concerns deserving serious attention, while our legislative engagement provides expert testimony and policy recommendations based on real-world aviation experience. Impact Americans for Safe Aerospace transforms isolated incidents into actionable intelligence, professional stigma into collaborative problem-solving, and scientific mysteries into research opportunities. Our success is measured by improvements in aviation safety protocols, enhanced national security preparedness, and cultural shifts that treat anomalous phenomena as serious subjects worthy of our best efforts. Through the dedication of our members and courage of witnesses who come forward, we are creating a new paradigm for aerospace safety—one that acknowledges the full complexity of our skies and responds with the seriousness, scientific rigor, and collaborative spirit these challenges demand.

About This Cause

Americans for Safe Aerospace - Charity Description Organization Overview Americans for Safe Aerospace (ASA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Ryan Graves, a former Lieutenant U.S. Navy F/A-18 pilot who was the first active-duty pilot to testify before Congress about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). As the first military pilot-led nonprofit dedicated to UAP as matters of aerospace safety, national security, and scientific advancement, ASA fills a critical gap in aviation safety infrastructure and national security preparedness. Our organization addresses an urgent yet underserved need: providing support, advocacy, and systematic solutions for aviation professionals who encounter unexplained aerial phenomena. These encounters, occurring regularly in both military and commercial aviation contexts, pose immediate safety risks, potential security threats, and scientific mysteries that demand serious investigation. Despite their frequency and potential impact, institutional barriers, professional stigma, and lack of proper reporting mechanisms have prevented adequate response to these challenges. ASA operates at the intersection of multiple critical domains: aviation safety, national security, scientific research, and public policy. We transform what has historically been a taboo subject into a legitimate area of professional concern, enabling data-driven solutions that protect pilots, passengers, and national airspace. The Need We Address Modern airspace has become increasingly complex, with traditional aircraft sharing skies with drones, balloons, experimental vehicles, and phenomena that defy conventional explanation. Military and commercial pilots regularly report encounters with objects demonstrating: - Instantaneous acceleration beyond known technological capabilities - Sustained flight without visible propulsion systems - Transmedium travel between air and water - Ability to operate in formations suggesting intelligent control - Interference with aircraft systems and sensors These encounters create immediate dangers including near-miss incidents, disrupted flight operations, and compromised situational awareness. The absence of proper reporting channels means critical safety data never reaches decision-makers who could implement protective measures. This information gap represents both a safety crisis and a potential national security vulnerability, as unidentified objects operating with impunity in restricted airspace could represent foreign surveillance or weapons platforms. Organizational Capabilities ASA brings unique capabilities to aerospace safety and UAP investigation: Credibility: Military pilot leadership and witness base provide unassailable credibility Access: Direct relationships with active-duty and veteran pilots ensure continuous reporting Expertise: Deep understanding of aviation systems, military operations, and aerospace technology Networks: Established relationships across government, industry, and academia Platform: Proven ability to shape public discourse and influence policy Trust: Confidential reporting systems protecting witness identity and careers Measuring Success We track impact through multiple metrics: - Number of confidential reports collected and analyzed - Legislative actions influenced by our advocacy - Media reach and sentiment analysis showing stigma reduction - Academic papers published using our data - Industry policy changes supporting UAP reporting - International partnerships established - Research funding secured for scientific investigation - Pilots supported through our programs Future Vision Americans for Safe Aerospace envisions a transformed aerospace safety paradigm where: - Every pilot can report anomalous encounters through established channels without career risk - Comprehensive detection and analysis systems monitor our entire airspace - Scientific research unlocks mysteries that could revolutionize technology - International cooperation addresses global aerospace challenges - Public understanding supports necessary investments in safety and research Through your support, we continue building a future where our skies are safer, our national security is stronger, and humanity's understanding of our world expands beyond current limitations. Together, we ensure that those who protect our skies can report what they see, scientists can study what we don't understand, and policymakers can make informed decisions based on evidence rather than speculation. Join us in creating a new era of aerospace safety—one that acknowledges the full complexity of our skies and responds with the seriousness these challenges demand.
