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...
