Dear Ryan, a few weeks ago i sat with my mother who was elderly and we listened to your interview on the Lex Fridman podcast. She has never displayed an interest in anything sci fi before but we both listened intently to you. The next day she passed away in her sleep. I want to thank you for a very prescious evening and for your talk. I can't remember the last time my mother and i had spent such a lovely evening together. We bonded more that night than any other time i can recall. Thank you Sir. I wish you and your family only the good things in life. I'm English and live in England but i would also like to thank you for your service. If more people were like you in this world, it would be a much better place to live. Thank you.

I hope that Stanford students appreciate what an amazing prof Gary Nolan is.

This is a serious minded podcast, and I commend you Ryan for brining this platform to help shed some light on this complex topic that deserves serious scientific discussion.

Two outstanding individuals, each in their own way. The pursuit of truth requires bravery. Hats off to both of them.

Gary is the MAN. Dude is so brilliant, and I love his approach to this topic. Humanity is lucky to have him.

Garry Nolan + Ryan Graves = excellent conversation

Absolutely brilliant LT Graves! Considering your background and personal history, this podcast has the potential of epic proportions! DR Nolan is fascinating to listen to! Pls keep going! Well done 🎉

Ryan Graves has really stepped up to the plate to provide great perspective , data and encounter stories. He’s definitely making things happen regarding the UFO phenomenon ⚡️⭐️👽

Haven't been this excited for a podcast series maybe ever. Merged is set to be the most important podcast of 2023!

Really appreciate Gary’s courage and openness taking on this reality.

Ryan Graves is awesome. Been a fan since Unidentified. Looking forward to the next guest.

Excellent interview! This is a must for people involved in scientific professions. Dr Nolan is an example to follow both as a scientist and also as a human being

This is amazing. Very well produced. We need to blow this podcast up!

I was raised in a pragmatic and very secular household and have pretty much always looked at "reality" through that scope, even though the phenomenon of UAP was always fascinating. I really love that now there's a podcast that is SO woo free! Hope this podcast is as big of a success as I think it's going to be!

as a trained neuroscientist in multisensory perception, now an AI researcher, and a childhood UAP witness, I think this is one of the most thoughtful, objective and progressive discussions I have seen on this topic. Very pleased to catch a new and absorbing podcast from the beginning, looking forward to what you have lined up for us next! :)

After reviewing the almost 3 months late DOD UAP report to Congress, I was concerned that the public interest in the subject may evaporate like it did decades ago. However after watching this conversation between Gary Nolan and Ryan Graves has renewed my hopefulness that this topic WILL NOT go quietly away! Dare I say I now feel there is hope for some answers in my lifetime! Please keep up your good works!

I saw Nolan and put this on, never having heard of this podcast before. Then, at some point, I wonder, "...Is that Ryan Graves' voice?" Wow. What a treat to have these two together. Subscription earned.

I am easily distracted listening to podcasts however any time Gary Nolan speaks I am riveted to his conversation. One of the great minds of all time. Looking forward to more greats on this podcast. Ryan Graves is the perfect host.

This is what the internet was built for. Amazing to get an insider view of two razor sharp minds. Thank you.

I have Mad respect for both Nolan & Graves. I was delighted to see Graves hosting this conversation.

This channel has the potential to become huge and reach a lot of people. Keep up the good work!

What a great choice to kick off a very promising podcast! May your impact be expansive!

so happy to see Graves making a podcast to talk to all these wonderful people and smart men who hopefully can all make some sense of this UAP topic

Gary Nolan is such a breath of fresh air, I hope he gets this problem solved.

I've been looking forward to this for the last few months! Finally a rational conversation based on science and facts without the stigma and the tinfoil hats. Thank you Ryan

Really happy to see Lt. Graves (Retd.) started this podcast. He seems pretty serious about the UAP topic. All the best!!

My two favorite, grounded voices in this community. These guys set the standard for professionalism, class, and level-headedness.

Garry Nolan is a badass and a leader. Put him in charge of ufos he's awesome. I just want videos of aliens communicating with humans and a craft for kids to see. Keep your high-tech.

As a UFO enthusiast from Brazil who has read the original reports about the Ubatuba samples, I was very excited to know that the original results - that there were truly unusual characteristics in those samples - were replicated in modern equipment under the supervision of excellent scientists. It just goes to show how much time we may have lost, we could have been doing research based on those samples for the last 60+ years!

You handled this podcast like someone who's been podcasting for years. Excellent questions, timing, and flow of the conversation. Bravo.

Thank you Ryan for stepping up to bring us some truth. 🇺🇸👽🛸

Thank you Garry and Ryan for continuing the push this topic! It is so refreshing to hear intelligent conversation regarding “The Phenomenon”. Please don’t stop bringing the truth to the people. It was haracy to state the earth wasn’t the center of the universe and we’re still fighting the highbrow stigma that it’s a BS topic.

Thank you for the interview, Ryan. And thank you, Mr.Nolan, for all your doing. What you've put on the line to pursue this isn't lost on us. You're exactly what this topic needs. Stay strong.

I’ve posted my experience before but I figured this is a good place to repost it. I’m glad that the stigma is going away and people are able to share their experiences without being ridiculed. I witnessed the Phoenix Lights in 1997 and I will never forget that night. My brother and I were up on the mountain across the street from our house because it was the night of the Halle-Bopp comet and we wanted to get the best view possible. If you are familiar with Phoenix,we were on 24th street and Shea Blvd. My brother was facing NW and I was facing SE because we didn’t know what part of the sky the comet was going to be visible in. My brother says “WTF is that “and when I turned around I seen this V shaped formation of lights coming towards us. ,It moved very slowly maybe 20-30 mph. It’s difficult to judge speed and distance at night but as it got closer I seen the biggest thing I’ve ever seen in my life,to this day. It was a gunmetal grey/black color and it had 3 lights on each bottom side of its “wings” and a larger amber colored one at the tip. It was completely silent until the left “wing “ was directly above us and then we heard but mostly felt a buzzing/humming sound like that off a power line transformer. We felt it in our whole body as if it was applying some sort of force onto us. It’s difficult to explain because I have nothing to compare it to. It was about a football field above our heads and when we were looking at it we noticed that it had some sort of distortion around it like when you pump gas into your car and the fumes distort the air around the nozzle. But we could still make out the craft pretty well. It was such a ominous feeling because the size of this craft was unbelievable. I can’t stress enough how massive this craft was. People that seen it from the streets said that it was a mile across from wingtip to wingtip and I would easily agree. The streets here in Phoenix are setup on a N to S and W to E grid,like Las Vegas is. Every major intersection is one mile. Just for reference the tallest building on earth is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai at 2,722 feet. A mile is 5,270 feet. I’ve been on a aircraft carrier before and I lived in Virginia Beach and would drive by the Norfolk Navy base a few times a week and would see 2-4 carriers docked in their spots. You could of put 3-3.5 carriers on each side of this craft. It was insanely massive. It glided through the sky heading SE and when it went over Squaw Peak mountain we lost site of it. I will never forget what I seen that night. I can still close my eyes and picture that craft to this day and that happened 25 years ago. I was 19 years old then, I wasn’t a 10-12 year old kid with some massive imagination . I only told my parents and my best friend because I knew that they would believe me. Plus it was on the news a day later. My brother to this day doesn’t want to talk about it. I think that it really freaked him out. He never told anyone. I don’t know what it was or who made it but when it was directly above us something told me that it wasn’t from here. I just don’t believe that we have anything like that especially in 1997. Thousands of people witnessed this craft that night. I still look up into the night sky every night hoping to see something like that again.

Ryan, speaking as an average “joe six-pack” I enjoyed every second of your new podcast. There is so much ufo crap out there, thats right I said it ! This is science, analysis and platform of rational very smart people finally moving the ball forward on a topic we ordinary folk would like answers in our lifetime. Good luck with the podcast Im sure you’ll have no issues finding guests ! Kevin

Thanks for starting a podcast Ryan! If this is your first one, you’re setting the bar pretty high

Fascinating Podcast from two of the most intriguing experiencers I've ever listened to. I'm very excited for this series and so glad to be living at this pivotal moment in time where a paradigm shift is so close that our is nearly tangible.

This man right here is a treasure and I absolutely adore him and am so grateful for his work on this topic and being courageous to stand up to his academic peers, which I believe he has very few true peers.

The quality of this talk is so way above anything else it is what we've been waiting for.

Outstanding conversation. Gary Nolan is a first class scientist. So glad he is shining the light of true science on this complex subject. And Excellent job Ryan Graves on conducting this superb interview!

To see that this brand new channel can pull 1.1k likes in only a few hours makes me feel very positive for the future of this topic. Spread the word...

Can’t wait for more! I’ve been waiting to hear more from Dr. Garry Nolan for a while now 🙌🏼 Awesome podcast and great job Ryan Graves

Thank you guy's for standing up for Humanity and Finally getting to the bottom of this, I have seen craft fairly close as well, I know 100 % They are REAL

Thanks for letting Gary Nolan describe his own journey into this fascinating subject. That it's taken more than 70 years to unwind and untangle, for it to even be taken seriously, is a huge step forward. How do we clean the egg off the faces of all the plants and co-conspirators in the ufo "intelligence" field who willingly led us astray with lies, intimidation and confabulation all these years?

When the announcement was made the other day, I damn near sharted. This pod is going to be PHENOMENAL.

Omg! RYAN! I'm so happy to subscribe! I've been a UFO geek for 50 years! My dad saw a ufo in 1978 over the Hudson River. Hastings, NY. This is the most important topic EVER, in my opinion! Folks like You will get Full Disclosure over the finish line! Keep up your great work!

I’m so glad to see these conversations taking place seriously, thank you both and everyone else involved in bringing this kind of content!

i like the open minded yet scientific discussion 👍

Congratulations Ryan Great guest Brilliant interview!

This podcast was fantastic. Thanks to both of you for your work.

Humanity needs more people like Garry! Excellent interview, job well done.

Im so happy to see Ryan making this podcast, loved his appearances with JRE and Lex!

I've seen all the UFO KZfaq channels and yours Ryan is by far the best. Everything is top notch. While what a first episode, you knocked it out of the park. Absolutely incredible! Congratulations advance for your 100th and thousand episode! Wow awesome! Thank you for turning your idea into a reality merged podcast. Yes!

Captain America finally started a podcast! So happy to see it, and what an auspicious start. Can't wait for more! Please interview Lue and Ross Coulthart.

Yep, nailed it "No matter what the answer is here, the answer it is interesting". Great episode

It's very telling how when Garry gets involved in the conversation, he continually refers to every event's objects as "craft", specifically. I've seen other interviews where he's reluctant to even say that other civilizations could visit at all. He kind of changes his tune depending on how comfortable he feels with the interviewer. It's very clear that he wants to maintain as much scientific integrity as he can, while his own personal beliefs (or rather, hunches) go way beyond what he's ready to talk about. Which is a good thing, we need more open minded people who dare to speculate. If scientists didnt speculate, we still wouldnt know if Black Holes existed. That was all speculation and hypothesis until we got the first true image of one.

Thank you for this Ryan! 👽🛸🚀✈️🛬

This was fantastic. Fascinating conversation.

What I like the most about Lt Graves is how he completely rejects the sensationalist types who frequently muddy the waters with nonsense. This is a deadly serious topic and should be treated as such. Excellent work sir and thank you for your service... including your continued service from the public sector.

Ryan what a mind blowing dialogue . absolutely eye opening and exciting. thank U so much for it. Please please bring Garry Nolan again, there's nothing that would be more interesting than you two talking about the recent whistle blowing of David Grusche....

Gary and Ryan on a podcast! Wow what a treat!!

So glad this podcast is happening

My two favorite people helping to find answers about these UAP's doing an interview together? Yes!!! Great stuff.

Just subscribed after listening to this. Amazing interview!!

Excellent podcast! Since I learned that the character "James" din Diana Pasulka's "American Cosmic" book (which I highly recommend) is Dr. Garry Nolan, I have a higher respect for this gentleman. Thank you, Garry and Ryan for making this.

Exciting times :D

I'm so grateful for this discussion and this new series of conversations. Thank you to all who are involved. It is making a difference.

Its mind blowing to finally have this topic taken seriously by such great minds like Garry. This is deathly serious science and he has the proof. We need to know whats going on. It shouldn't be kept secret when such a gift for all humankind is in our hands. Time to lift the lid and have the government admit that they've been lying to us for 70 years.

Wow, I’m super glad this popped up on my recommended. I’m really loving this convo so far. I’m looking forward to future content as well! Excited that I found a channel so new

So glad these fighter pilots have taken this serious..We owe all these guys a debt of gratitude

We've arrived. Thank You & let's get this figured out.

I just watched again! You guys hit a massive home run on this one!!! Really looking forward to the future of Merged!!!

Great interview Ryan! You asked Prof Nolan outstanding questions and he gave amazing answers to this very important topic! Looking forward to future shows. Thank You for doing this.

I've never seen Garry like this before. Great and groundbreaking interview Ryan, thanks for that. With all the many small rockets that have been fired in these two hours, one thing has become very clear: the time has come. Now science will take over.

By far the most intelligent and best discussion on UAPs so far. Nolan is the sanest and logical voice I've heard on this topic and if you can read between tge lines here, you will come away with far more than you bargained. I believe that this is the guy who will lay down the foundation stone for revelations to come.Also, he is the world's smartest gay guy !

As a biologist I know the work of Garry Nolan very well, and it is a great work. It is so exciting listen to him to ....... fundamentally contributing in creating a new field that totally deserve to be present. 2h hours listening this well spent.

His point about the UFO's being a distraction to pilots during flight is a pretty good point, it's not even that the UFO's want to be a threat, it's just a potential human factor when you consider how amazing it would be to see one while you're responsible for a plane full of people.

Brilliant first podcast 🎉

What an amazing premiere!! Long live to Merged Podcast. 👏👏👏👏👏

Hi Mr Graves. I've been following this topic for 25 years, since a professor of mine at University put me onto it. I've also been following you. I'm very glad you're doing this podcast. I hope it further encourages pilots, scientists and other witnesses to feel less of a stigma in engaging with the matter and describing their experiences. I still feel there is an element of doublespeak involved here. "Officially", the government is opening up about the topic. But evidence tends to indicate there is longstanding, deep knowledge about it within the government, which remains withheld, even actively shielded, and nothing has shifted about that. It may be inaccurate to use the word "government" there; whoever is in on this knowledge may operate outside of the Constitution, such that in fact they are not really part of what the visible, as-defined-in-Dictionary "government". If that is the case, it likely presents an even bigger problem than confronting the existence of intelligent "Others". We are always our own worst enemy, it seems!

Great conversation & very insightful

well spoken, science oriented, excellent host, excellent guest. Great set as well.

Wow, congrats on the new podcast Ryan. This was an excellent listen. I like how this was much more focused on the science and process of it all and less about typical casual uap conversation, actual substance.

Immensely enjoyable. You've certainly raised the bar, Ryan. Dr. Nolan, fantastic as usual. Thanks

Yes! I'm looking forward to this

Wow!? Am I ever glad I was recommended the video with Mark a couple hours before now. I had no idea Ryan had a channel. I remember watching his interview with Lex Friedman awhile back which left me blown away after hearing his personal experience. I am really looking forward to watch this channel blossom.

Outstanding! The professionalism and the studio quality set your efforts apart, Ryan. Thank you for forging ahead into the podcast realm!

Congratulations on your first episode, Ryan! I can't imagine a more fascinating first guest than Dr. Garry Nolan. Looks as though the UAP podcast bar has just been raised!

It is so important that you both are involved in opening up the subject of UAPs in a scientific and serious manner, because IT IS a serious matter for humanity. Many people ( like me ) who have been seeing these flying objects in both daylight and at night, can come out feeling more comfortable to tell about what they witnessed. Thank you Ryan for having this podcast.

Ryan is awesome. Really like his vibe. I feel like Gary looks a bit like a tortured soul. I could be way off but I strongly felt like Gary knows far more than he’s allowed to let on. I feel for the guy. Imagine knowing something of this magnitude for a 100% certainty and not being allowed to talk about it. I hope this movement grows to the point where no forces can continue to suppress the truth!

Bravo, Ryan and Garry, thank you for sharing your knowledge on this important issue.

Very happy to see you starting this podcast/channel- and on such a professional tone with such an interesting guest as Garry Nolan. Looking forward to following you and hopefully sorting things out.

I'm glad Ryan started this podcast! I saw him on Lex, that conversation was very interesting

Wonderfully informative! Pilots may have had flying objects within their visual range, but the cognizance of them didn't attach the phenomenon to any previous anomaly. Hence, the cerebral cortex never made a connection to anything previously seen. I witnesses a UFO when I was about 12 or 13. It flew slowly about 80 feet or so over my house, made a very low pitched humming sound, then went out of sight between the branches of the trees. Since then, I've always scanned the skies. I'm now 75 and have had 11 sightings of UFO's that were not just little dots in the sky. I even video taped one and made some very interesting histograms of the video frames. I was also within 30 to 40 feet of a UFO hovering silently above a building I owned in Gardena, California. As the awareness of UFO's grows, more and more people will see and also photograph them with the advent of cell phones.

Looking forward to watching what I’m sure will be a fascinating conversation. Thanks Ryan and Garry.

Been waiting all week for this stuff!!! Get it going!!! Best first guest ever!!! ❤️ GARY NOLAN

Why doesn’t this podcast have a million subscribers yet!?!?

This is great news, scientist's that are not afraid and free to study what these UAP's are. Very exciting times

Awesome. Thank you for doing this Ryan!

WOW. Great production. Quality format. Reputable guest. Historic conversation. Good job and congratulations on the start of your new endeavor, Ryan 👏🏽
