Would the undeniable reality of unidentified anomalous phenomena finally be laid bare, or would it only foment new questions about what aerial mysteries? And what might we learn from the findings of past efforts, such as the Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program (AAWSAP)? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we analyze the ongoing riddle of the DIA's AAWSAP program and its...

In this installment of the X Podcast, we dive into the renewed debate over one of the greatest mysteries of the ancient Americas: who were the first to arrive in the New World, and when did their arrival occur?
info_outlineX Podcast
One of the greatest controversies in American archaeology involves the debate over when the first people arrived in the New World, and long at the center of the debate has been the South American site of Monte Verde, where research that began decades ago produced evidence of a human presence there as early as 14,500 years ago.

In this installment of the X Podcast, we look at the United Kingdom's official UAP study, Project Condign, and what it determined about the presence of "real" UFOs in the skies over Britain.
