PILOT WITH UAP EXPERIENCES
The benefit of sharing your UAP story:
Before diving into a larger study (see below), I would like to hear from willing pilots & ATCOs who wish to share a personal story.
I am offering free 15-min on-line meetings with me to begin to understand your personal journey, provided you may in the future wish to share your story in a book.
The aim of the book is to share with professional observers, such as pilots, ATCOs & astronauts, the variety of encounters, the challenges faced, the personal transformation taking place & the impact it has on one’s life. This is all in hope for professional observers to recognise similarities in their personal encounters, own life journey & release the pressure of stigma around UAP topic & most importantly - not to feel alone & not suffer in silence & be part of growing community wishing to understand what is happening. Why is the phenomena often affecting us one or two at a time?
Please see my talk at the SOL Foundation Initiative for UAP Research and Policy symposium at the Stanford University, November 2023 (see video below). In fact, I encourage you to see all the talks to see how much willingness & steps are taken by professionals to pull the resources & skills together to understand the phenomenon.

for UAP Research and PolicyAt the Inauguration Symposium at Stanford University, 17−18 November 2023,
Iya presented the talk:
“OBSERVATION is DATA:
Trusting & Learning from Pilots”
We will never pass on your data. We will only use your data for intended purposes to inform you about the study.
The objective of the larger study:
Prevent adverse pilot reactions that can compromise safety of the pilot, crew, passengers, aircraft and the surrounding environment.
Below Iya is discussing with Ryan Graves on MERGED podcast why these studies are important to run now.
Ryan Graves is a former Lt. U.S. Navy and F/A-18F pilot, who was the first active duty pilot to come forward publicly about regular sightings of UAP, and has been featured in 60 minutes, the History Channel and The New York Times. He currently serves as the first Chair of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena Community of Interest (UAPCOI), representing more than 30,000 members of the aerospace industry concerned with improving aviation safety. Iya also serves on UAPCOI as the Aviation and Space Psychologist, in a Human Factors division advising of the impact UAP encounters.
