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...

Sightings IV: Case Files from the UAP Sightings Reporting System | MHP 07.07.26.
The Micah Hanks Program
Sightings of unusual aerial objects are occurring in the airspace above countries worldwide. From lights in the sky, to unusual, structured craft, silent flying triangles, eerie orange and red orbs of light, and a range of other unusual phenomena are observed every week… and witnesses to many of these unusual—and at times unnerving—events frequently share their encounters with the UAP Sightings Reporting System (UAPSRS). This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we provide an update on some of the most intriguing recent sightings submitted to the UAPSRS, along with an update—and a...

UAP Materials: 'Alien' Wreckage, or Earthly Oddities? | MHP 06.30.26.
The Micah Hanks Program
For many decades, UFO researchers have obtained unusual samples alleged to be UAP materials recovered from crash events or other instances where physical traces of these anomalous aerial objects were present. In nearly every case where scientific analysis was undertaken, these unusual samples also revealed signatures that suggest Earthly origins. But should this necessarily mean they aren't worthy of further interest by UAP researchers? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine a "cautionary tale" of alleged alien wreckage that turned out to have a down-to-Earth...

Interloper: An Uncanny CIA UAP Encounter | MHP 06.23.26.
The Micah Hanks Program
In 1977, a U.S. Navy Pilot who was employed with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency was en route to Japan after conducting a pair of missions over the Pacific when, suddenly, a lonely midnight flight over international waters took a turn for the uncanny. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine one of the best cases in the history of the U.S. intelligence community and its personnel's encounters with unidentified anomalous phenomena, as we analyze a harrowing incident report involving an unexplained "interloper" that followed a CIA aircraft across the Pacific. What was the...

Disclosure Day: Revealing the Truth About Non-Human Intelligence | MHP 06.09.26.
The Micah Hanks Program
Congressional 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...

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.
