Release Date: 10/31/2023
The Micah Hanks Program
Over the decades, many people who claim to possess knowledge of UFOs or have even seen these unusual objects themselves have alleged that threats, intimidation, or other efforts to silence them have been undertaken. But who are these mysterious "UFO silencers," and where does the line between fact and folklore fall on this contentious subject? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, following an analysis of the latest controversies involving whistleblower David Grusch, we examine his claims of reprisals following his choice to come forward with claims of knowledge about secret...
info_outline Incident at Eglin Air Force Base | MHP 04.30.24.The Micah Hanks Program
In January 2023, a U.S. military pilot reported an encounter with a group of unusual objects flying in a diamond formation over the Gulf of Mexico near Eglin Air Force Base. The incident, which eventually came to the attention of Florida Representative Matt Gaetz, became a matter of public record after Gaetz discussed it during a Congressional hearing in the summer of 2023. Now, the DoD's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office has released its official report on the incident, claiming the case has now been resolved. However, there are several problems with AARO's analysis, and this week...
info_outline UFOs: A Scientist's Perspective | MHP 04.23.24.The Micah Hanks Program
What do we really know about UFOs, following several decades of studying these phenomena? With the many questions that remain about unidentified aerial phenomena, how can science help us to implement new strategies that may allow us to broaden our knowledge about these aerial mysteries? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, former R&D scientist Robert Powell joins us to discuss his nearly two decades of investigation into UFOs, culminating in his new book UFOs: A Scientist Explains What We Know (And Don’t Know). Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting? Please consider ...
info_outline Broken AARO: The 'Mellon Report', UAP, and Area 51 | MHP 04.15.24.The Micah Hanks Program
On March 8, 2024, the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) released its historical report on UAP, shortly after briefing only a select group of journalists associated with seven mainstream media outlets, none of whom seemingly bothered to fact-check the error-ridden report. "The disappointing lack of critical press coverage of this important report prompted me to begin compiling the insights of UAP scholars and experts who have studied the history of UAP and the US government," wrote former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Christopher Mellon, in a recent...
info_outline The DoD's Dark UAP Secret | MHP 04.09.24.The Micah Hanks Program
In the Autumn of 1957, a series of events unfolded that, for a time, left U.S. defense officials believing that the country was on the verge of war with the Soviet Union, as a pair of mysterious objects were tracked on radar systems making their way toward a series of high security facilities. Before action could be taken, the objects mysteriously vanished, and the story receded into the shadows of Cold War memories for decades, prior to a series of once-secret CIA files surfaced detailing the startling incident. What do such circumstances say about the U.S. military's capabilities in terms of...
info_outline The UFO Deception Game | MHP 04.02.24.The Micah Hanks Program
In 1950, a bizarre story involving the alleged crash of a flying saucer near Aztec, New Mexico, and its subsequent recovery by the U.S. military, sparked one of the most notorious claims in 20th-century UFO studies. Although revealed to be a hoax, why might U.S. intelligence agencies have taken interest in the story, and its bizarre claims about alien bodies recovered from the wreckage? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, after an analysis of the current state of the UFO debate, we reveal why it’s really only another case of history repeating itself. However something that is often...
info_outline The Secret History of Aviation: Strange Sightings & Special Projects | MHP 03.26.24.The Micah Hanks Program
For years before the beginning of the modern UFO era in 1947, sightings of bizarre, cigar-shaped flying objects capable of unusual aerial feats were reported by pilots during World War II, as well as military and civilian pilots over the Americas. After the war, strange sightings continued involving aircraft that were mysterious for their time... but which look eerily familiar to us today. What were these mysterious objects, and do some of the "UFO" reports from decades past actually point to a secret history of aviation in the U.S. that could explain some of the mystery? This week on The...
info_outline Darkness in the Desert: The Roswell Controversy | MHP 03.18.24.The Micah Hanks Program
According to the findings of the DoD's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), the object that crash-landed near Roswell, New Mexico in the summer of 1947 was a balloon used during a once-secret covert operation called Project Mogul. These findings, of course, are the same conclusions the U.S. Air Force came to decades ago which were detailed in a pair of official reports that sought to definitively explain what, for many, had once been deemed Ufology's "smoking gun"... but could there still be more to the story? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at...
info_outline The AARO Historical Report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena | MHP 03.12.24.The Micah Hanks Program
A new Defense Department report detailing the United States government's involvement in investigations of unidentified anomalous phenomena, more commonly known as UFOs, was released late last week, resulting in divided opinions over the merit of the research conducted by the DoD's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine the mainstream media's coverage of the controversial new government UAP report before moving on to a fact-check of several errors it contains, in addition to revealing why AARO's over-reliance on past U.S. government...
info_outline Project Moon Dust: The Secret U.S. Crash Retrieval Program | MHP 03.05.24.The Micah Hanks Program
In the 1970s, the existence of a once-secret program called "Project Moon Dust" first came to the attention of UFO researchers employing the Freedom of Information Act to obtain U.S. government documents about unidentified aerial phenomena. Although the U.S. Air Force initially denied its existence, it was later confirmed that Project Moon Dust, along with the similar Project Blue Fly, had been tasked with the acquisition of any fallen space objects believed to have originated within the Soviet Union... but is that all the program collected? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we...
info_outlineAutumn fills the air, and of all the things that frighten us, some of the most terrifying are those which involve "the terrors next door," and the lurking fears of the everyday. Yet there are also stories involving stranger things... encounters with odd individuals that don't seem to have a place in our consensus reality. Can science explain these experiences, or is there something more complex involved?
In this special Halloween 2023 installment of The Micah Hanks Program, after news involving alleged hauntings and exorcisms, examine a collection of terrors and odd tales, ranging from horrific murders that happened very close to home for our haunted host back in the 1990s. We then suspend our disbelief as we shift our attention toward unreal experiences from over the decades where people have described visits with entities hailing "from beyond." Who are these mysterious visitors... Ghosts? Extraterrestrials? Time travelers? Or do they represent something else entirely?
