Sasquatch and Government: Official Files and the Relict Hominoid Enigma | MHP 09.15.26.
The Micah Hanks Program
For decades, stories of alleged Sasquatch encounters have emerged from some of America’s most remote forests—but what happens when the witnesses are park rangers, military personnel, government scientists, and other public officials? And if such reports have reached government agencies over the years, what records might exist documenting what witnesses claimed to have seen? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we revisit the strange intersection of Sasquatch and the U.S. government, beginning with an eerie military encounter before examining references to Bigfoot on U.S. Forest Service...

Incident at Delphos: Anatomy of a UFO Investigation | MHP 09.08.26.
The Micah Hanks Program
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary on the night of November 2, 1971, as 16-year-old Ronald Johnson was tending the sheep behind his family's farm near Delphos, Kansas. That would all change within a matter of minutes, after a sudden rumbling noise caught his attention, prompting the young farmer to step outside—leading him to a face-to-face encounter with the unexplained. This week, we examine the famous Delphos, Kansas UFO incident, looking at details that include photos of a glowing ring on the ground where the object had allegedly hovered, and how subsequent analysis of soil samples...

Atomic Secrets of the UFO: UAP Encounters at Nuclear Sites | MHP 09.01.26.
The Micah Hanks Program
Since the dawn of the atomic age, UFO reports have frequently involved sightings near nuclear weapons facilities, missile installations, laboratories, power facilities, and other nuclear-related infrastructure, both in the United States and abroad. Some incidents have included more controversial allegations of apparent interference with nuclear weapons or associated systems, although the evidence supporting such claims varies considerably. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine this historical pattern, and look at famous sightings near nuclear sites, and what they reveal about...

Interrupted Journey: The Betty and Barney Hill Controversy, Revisited | MHP 08.26.26.
The Micah Hanks Program
More than six decades after Betty and Barney Hill reported a mysterious encounter while driving through New Hampshire’s White Mountains, their story remains one of the most influential—and controversial—cases in UFO history. But what can the surviving evidence, from rare historical documents to archival recordings and surviving U.S. Air Force Project Blue Book records, actually tell us about what happened to the couple on that night back in 1961? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we revisit the famous case with a review of information documented immediately after the incident,...

Invasion of the Orbs: Spherical UAP in Our Skies | MHP 08.18.26.
The Micah Hanks Program
For decades, sightings of unusual, spherical objects have been reported in our skies. Often described as metallic silver, translucent, or illuminated in fiery orange or red, flying objects matching this description were even reported by Allied pilots over Europe during WWII as a possible new advanced weapon developed by Nazi Germany. Today, the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office continues to collect reports about these mysterious "orbs," which constitute the single largest category of UAP reports it collects. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at striking examples...

Triangle UAP: The Pentagon's 'PURSUE' Release 05 | MHP 08.11.26.
The Micah Hanks Program
It began on a summer night in 2011, when someone in the vehicle noticed three odd lights overhead. Curious, one of the occupants stepped out of the vehicle and looked up. Now, according to a witness interview released years later by the U.S. Department of War, what appeared above them was not simply three lights, but a massive, dark, triangular object moving silently across the night sky. This case, and several others involving mysterious triangle UAPs in our skies, are among those included in the Pentagon's fifth tranche of UAP files released under its PURSUE initiative. This week...

Anatomy of an Enigma: Black Projects, Hidden Aircraft, and UFO Encounters | MHP 08.04.26.
The Micah Hanks Program
Since the dawn of the new millennium, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) have gradually evolved from a fringe subject into a legitimate national security issue. Key developments that include the 2000 Illinois police triangle sighting, reporting on classified "black" military programs and the Pentagon's "shadow military," and other events illustrate how intelligence agencies and defense analysts increasingly viewed unexplained aerial reports not as curiosities, but as potential intelligence problems worthy of systematic investigation. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at how...

The AARO Files: The 2025 Annual UAP Report, Official Responses, and Conspiracies | MHP 07.29.26.
The Micah Hanks Program
Last week, the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) released its Fiscal Year 2025 Consolidated Annual Report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, revealing its latest findings involving unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). Among its key findings, AARO’s report conveys that the Office continues to collect data on hundreds of objects it cannot yet identify and states that some sightings over sensitive military facilities could represent an “unmitigated threat vector” to U.S. national security. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, in addition to an analysis of...

Nimitz: The DIA/BAASS Investigations | MHP 07.21.26.
The Micah Hanks Program
On November 14, 2004, the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group Eleven steamed through the clear waters roughly eighty nautical miles west of San Diego beneath cloudless California skies. Unbeknownst to many on board, for nearly a week, operators deep inside the strike group’s Combat Information Center aboard the USS Princeton had been watching something they could not explain. Initially dismissed as equipment anomalies, the contacts refused to disappear, returning repeatedly and exhibiting flight characteristics that seasoned radar operators struggled to reconcile with anything they had...

PURSUE Release 04: UAP Disclosure, or Distraction? | MHP 07.14.26.
The Micah Hanks Program
The Pentagon has released its fourth tranche of videos and documents related to UAP under its Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE) initiative, with the latest batch of materials now available for viewing at the U.S. Department of War’s website. However, the latest revelations only add to a growing number of indistinct videos and other materials that raise more questions than they provide answers to. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we delve into what the latest PURSUE Release 04 contains and some of the questions that arise from viewing the new UAP...
info_outlineCongressional hearings, whistleblower allegations, and the release of new government records in recent weeks have continued to fuel public questions of whether long-hidden information about UFOs may finally be coming to light. And part of that fascination also extends to Hollywood, with the forthcoming release of Steven Spielberg’s film Disclosure Day, which early reviews have called one of the Close Encounters of the Third Kind director’s best films in decades.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at the possibility of a real-life "Disclosure Day," and how a scientific committee long involved in the serious search for evidence of intelligent life on other worlds is working on establishing new protocols for how final proof of alien life should be revealed to the public if we find them.
