If all records and information related to UFOs that the U.S. government currently withholds were to be released, what would it disclose about the phenomenon? 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...

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. While marking the beginning of a major paradigm shift in the archaeological world, the site has remained at the heart of the debate over when the first Americans arrived, which has seen its latest challenge in a new paper published in the journal Science. This...

An early morning high-speed police chase involving a UFO... a military helicopter crew's encounter with something from out of this world... these are just a few examples of some of history's best-known and most credible UFO cases, both of which occurred in Ohio during the height of the Cold War. What were the objects these trained professionals observed, and what do their presence in the skies mean for U.S. National Security?

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we cover a recent trip with the documentary team from "Small Town Monsters" into the heart of the Buckeye State in search of answers to the famous 1966 Portage County UFO Chase and the landmark 1973 Coyne UFO Incident. We also examine Cold War U.S. military history from the period, and why these famous Ohio UFO encounters remain some of the country's most compelling cases.
