Ancient Mysteries Unearthed: Incredible Archaeology Discoveries in 2025 | MHP 12.23.25.
The Micah Hanks Program
Our fascination with ancient mysteries was rewarded in 2025 with a host of incredible discoveries that are shedding light on the past. Curious findings throughout the year have pushed back the timescales on the beginnings of ancient structures in Europe and other parts of the world, unusual artifacts found in odd places, and in some cases, discoveries that are bridging the gap between ancient history and mythology. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at some of the most fascinating and unusual archaeological discoveries of the last twelve months, from curiosities of the ancient...

All Will Be Disclosed: UFO Revelations and Deception in Popular Media | MHP 12.16.25.
The Micah Hanks Program
Residents of New York and Los Angeles were recently treated to an eye-grabbing display, with the sudden appearance of mysterious promotional billboards advertising a new project by legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg. The eerie imagery was accompanied solely by the words "ALL WILL BE DISCLOSED," along with Spielberg's name and the presumed premiere date of the forthcoming film, the official title of which currently remains unknown. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, along with speculations about the film and whether it could feature "real aliens" and other theories that have...

Revelations: An Insider’s Report on the DIA’s UAP Investigations | MHP 12.10.25.
The Micah Hanks Program
From out of the shadows of the U.S. intelligence community, Dr. James T. Lacatski, a former Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) career intelligence officer and scientist, has emerged to become best known as the program manager who initiated and oversaw the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP). The program was, in short, the Pentagon’s most comprehensive—and at times most controversial—known inquiry into unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we take a look at Lacatski's contributions to the UAP research effort,...

UAPx: The University of Albany's New UAP Initiative | MHP 12.02.25.
The Micah Hanks Program
In a major development for the future of UAP science, physicists at the University of Albany, New York, have announced a new research initiative—dubbed UAlbany Project X—that marks the beginning of a long-term scientific study of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). Joining us this week on The Micah Hanks Program to discuss the exciting news are two of the project's lead scientists, Dr. Kevin Knuth and Dr. Matthew Szydagis, who discuss the "rebirth" of the original UAPx initiative as a fully funded UAP investigation backed by the University of Albany. Where will the team's...

The Age of Disclosure | MHP 11.26.25.
The Micah Hanks Program
For decades, the subject of UAP has hovered at the uneasy intersection of national security, scientific curiosity, and public trust. While bipartisan momentum in Washington has pushed for greater transparency, the federal government’s fragmented responses and long-standing culture of classification have only deepened questions about what is known—and what might remain hidden. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, following the release of the new documentary film "The Age of Disclosure" by Director Dan Farah, we offer a complete analysis involving the film and main takeaways, as...

Invaders: 3I/ATLAS Overload and the 'Alien Invasion' Archetype | MHP 11.18.25.
The Micah Hanks Program
Since the late 19th century, the concept of an "alien invasion" has been a recurring theme in literature, and also served as a kind of cultural pressure gauge—it reveals our fears about what might be lurking in the cosmos, as well as the everyday horrors of the human condition, forcing us to confront questions about our vulnerabilities, and our assumptions about intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we lead off with a bit of discussion about the persistent rumors about the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, and whether its presence could actually...

Riddle of the Lost Labyrinth: An Ancient Enigma Unearthed | MHP 11.11.25.
The Micah Hanks Program
Ancient Greek mythology tells of a daunting underground maze known as the labyrinth, which, according to legend, housed the fabled beast known as the minotaur. However, clues hidden in ancient writings through the centuries have suggested that there may be more to the tale than mere legend, and that there had in fact been more than one labyrinth that existed in the ancient world. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, a remarkable new discovery in Crete has reinvigorated debate over the origins behind one of ancient Greece’s most enduring legends, and it marks only the beginning of...

Unidentified in Earth's Oceans: The USO Controversy and 3I/ATLAS Update | MHP 11.03.25.
The Micah Hanks Program
For centuries, strange phenomena associated with our seas have been reported by credible observers, which include several Cold War-era sightings by personnel with the U.S. and Soviet militaries. But what are these strange oceanic counterparts to the UAP mystery, which many refer to as "unidentified submerged objects," or USOs? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, following an update on unusual behavior displayed by the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS during its recent nearest approach to the Sun, we shift our attention to the USO mystery, what contemporary data says, and also how...

Transients: Objects of Unknown Origin and the Nuclear Connection | MHP 10.29.25.
The Micah Hanks Program
Recently, striking correlations between mysterious flashes of light captured on 1950s astronomical plates, reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), and atmospheric nuclear weapons tests of the same era have been revealed in a pair of new peer-reviewed scientific papers. Analyzing more than 106,000 short-lived “transients” from the VASCO project archives, the team found that such flashes were 68% more likely to occur the day after a nuclear test, and increased further when UAP sightings were also reported. A companion study detected potential solar reflections from flat, highly...

Unknowns in Our Airspace: UAP & Aviation Safety Threats | MHP 10.21.25.
The Micah Hanks Program
Recently, a United Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 en route from Denver to Los Angeles was forced to make an emergency landing in Salt Lake City after colliding with an unidentified object over Utah. The impact shattered the cockpit windshield, injuring one of the pilots and prompting the crew to announce that the aircraft had “collided with an object.” Early investigations seem to rule out space debris or meteors, and while investigators continue working to resolve the situation, a potential break in this unusual case may have now revealed what actually happened. This week on The...
info_outlineIn 1996, a NASA space shuttle mission meant to study microgravity’s effects on electromagnetism may have recorded one of the most puzzling and controversial encounters ever filmed in Earth orbit—dozens, and eventually hundreds, of luminous, pulsating objects seemingly reacting to high-voltage electromagnetic fields in space. What were the strange objects, and could they be related to mysterious plasmas that are believed to manifest in Earth’s atmosphere, which are sometimes responsible for UAP sightings?
From bizarre luminous manifestations in our skies, to extreme weather events and meteorological oddities, this week on The Micah Hanks Program we explore cases involving anomalous atmospheric phenomena and climatic curiosities, which include eerie glowing plasmas and other unusual manifestations, to an ancient mystery involving abrupt temperature reversals that continue to baffle scientists.
