The legislation will provide a direct, confidential reporting channel for civilian pilots by adapting the widely trusted NASA Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS), which publishes a public database of reports.
This legislation also: - protects pilots against retaliation for reporting UAP - instructs the FAA to collect and preserve data, investigate, and share the reports with AARO - directs the FAA to develop a public engagement strategy to encourage reporting.
Americans for Safe Aerospace (ASA) is the first military pilot led organization dedicated to UAP as an issue of national security and aerospace safety. ASA has more than 11,000 members, making it the largest and fastest growing UAP organization in the country. ASA convenes military and commercial aircrew including David Fravor, Alex Dietrich, and Michael Greene and thought leaders on UAP including Christopher Mellon, Tim Gallaudet, Susan McCue, Bryan Bender, Garry Nolan of Stanford, David Radzanowski (former CFO and Chief of Staff at NASA), and Avi Loeb of Harvard. ASA was founded by former U.S. Navy fighter pilot Ryan Graves who was the first active duty military pilot to come forward publicly about UAP.
