The Drive

The Drive is a U.S.-based civilian media organization and defense news website founded around 2016 by Tyler Rogoway. It specializes in military aviation, technology, and national security reporting. In UAP/UFO research, its key activity was publishing multiple hazard reports in May 2020, obtained via FOIA requests, detailing encounters between unidentified aerial phenomena and U.S. Navy aircraft. These disclosures spotlighted safety risks near military operations and contributed to heightened congressional and Pentagon attention, preceding the UAPTF formation. Notable achievements include driving public awareness of UAP incidents through investigative journalism. It remains active, covering ongoing government programs like AARO.
