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.

In this episode, Dr. Michael Lembeck discusses his role as the Co-Chair of the American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics (AIAA) Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Integration & Outreach Committee (UAPIOC).

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.

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.

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.
