Immaculate Confusion: Truth, Lies, & UAP Media Controversies | MHP 05.12.25.
In recent days, a bombshell NewsNation’s special, "Hunting UFOs: The Desert Sky Mystery," hosted by Ross Coulthart, told the story of Border Patrol agent Bob Thompson and his claims of anomalous aerial sightings along the U.S.-Mexico border. However, while the program presented the story as being "the first time" Thompson had come forward, that's not quite the case... Also in this week's installment of The Micah Hanks Program, we dive into the intriguing revelations involving Matthew Brown, who has been revealed as the whistleblower behind claims involving a secret program allegedly called Immaculate Constellation. We dive into Brown's descriptions of internal U.S. government transcripts, secret files, and philosophical concerns about government deception, all of which offer new insights, but also raise a few red flags regarding one of the UAP research community's latest and most compelling controversies.

Eyes in the Skies: Spy Balloons, AARO, and UAPs on Capitol Hill | MHP 05.05.25.
In 2023, a massive Chinese spy balloon drifted through U.S. airspace before being shot down off the South Carolina coast. Since that time, much has been learned about the notorious incident, which prompted some to consider whether a majority of the unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) observed by military personnel could be similar, relatively simple technologies used for surveillance of our warfighters. But is that really the case? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we dive into surprising new revelations about the spy balloon incident, and why the mission of the DoD's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) involves far more than just tracking the balloons and drones of U.S. foreign adversaries. Finally, we also take a look at recent controversies surrounding the latest UAP event on Capitol Hill, and why a few developments behind the scenes are raising red flags within the UAP research community.

Echoes of the Ancients: Denisovans, Genetic Ghosts, and Relicts from the Past | MHP 04.29.25.
Recent advances in genetics and paleoanthropology are revealing a complex world where multiple hominin species coexisted, interbred, and left behind their DNA in modern populations. Fossils like the Denisovan jawbone Penghu-1 found in Taiwan and enigmatic remains from Red Deer Cave suggest that some archaic humans may have survived into the Holocene, much later than previously thought. Meanwhile, studies of modern genomes have uncovered “genetic ghosts”—traces of unknown ancient populations for which no physical remains have been found, particularly in Africa and Southeast Asia. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at these and other recent discoveries challenging our past thinking on ancient humans, which point to a tangled web of migrations and ancient interactions. We look at global folklore and indigenous traditions that describe reclusive, bipedal, humanlike creatures that bear striking similarities across cultures, which raise profound questions about how many kinds of humans once walked the Earth—and whether some still might.

The UFO Conspiracy: Aliens, Bias, and the Myth of the UFO Expert | MHP 04.22.25.
This week, the potential discovery of signs of biosignatures in the atmosphere of a distant planet has aliens on the minds of many scholars. Meanwhile, a recently published study, “Exploring expert figures in alien-related UFO conspiracy theories” investigates how “expert figures”—including scientists, self-proclaimed researchers, and UFO witnesses—are used to legitimize alien-related conspiracy theories online. But what do these findings really indicate about conspiracy theories about UFOs, as well as academic views toward the UAP subject? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at how key findings in the new study point to concerning trends that have recently emerged in the UAP research community, as well as potential biases in academic ideas toward the subject. We also look at the myth of the "UFO expert," NASA's lack of progress in UAP, and much more. Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?

Return of the Tic Tacs: The USS Jackson UAP Incident | MHP 04.15.25
In 2004, an incident involving an unidentified aerospace vehicle encountered by personnel serving aboard the USS Nimitz carrier strike group off the Baja California coast gave rise to one of the most widely-discussed UAP incidents in modern history. Now, new information has come to light about a similar 2023 incident, reported by personnel aboard the USS Jackson who say they observed—and filmed—four similar objects, one of which was allegedly tracked as it emerged from the water. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we dive into the latest news about the USS Jackson UAP case, how it came to light, and what independent analysis of the video footage showing two of the objects has revealed. We also look at recent claims involving UAP made public by the Skywatcher team, and what all these newly released UAP images and video reveal about the current debate over anomalous objects in our skies.

Resurrection: Genetic 'De-Extinction' and Life Not as We Know It | MHP 04.08.25.
In what is likely to be one of the major science stories of the year, Texas-based Colossal Biosciences has brought the dire wolf—or at least something very close to this ice age canine—back from extinction, with the help of genetic engineering. The remarkable achievement has been met with awe, praise, and also controversy, as experts debate the exact nature of the "dire wolves" the company has created, as well as the implications of the breakthrough and the creation of what some might call life not as we know it. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we take a look at the remarkable news, as well as the current state of genetic science, and whether it could one day be used on humans. Finally, we also turn our attention toward popular science fiction and bizarre theories regarding alien life, and whether questions about human contact with non-human forms of intelligence might involve advanced genetic engineering.

The Anomaly Files: The U.S. Government's Pursuit of the Unexplained | MHP 03.31.25.
For many decades, agencies within the United States government have collected information on a range of different unexplained phenomena. From military encounters involving UFOs, to possible evidence of ancient mysteries collected during reconnaissance missions by spy planes, several examples of the U.S. government's "anomaly files" have been made public through inquiries under the Freedom of Information Act. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at the Defense Department's current investigations into unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), along with questions that remain about one of its most famous cases. Finally, we also explore claims revealed in CIA files involving remote viewing, the discovery of the mythical "Ark of the Covenant," and an anomaly spotted on a mountainside in Turkey during Cold War-era CIA spy plane reconnaissance flights.

The JFK Files: The CIA and the Birth of the Deep State | MHP 03.25.25.
On November 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, became the victim of an assassin's bullet during a motorcade visit through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. Although the Warren Commission later concluded Kennedy's assassination had been the work of one man, Lee Harvey Oswald, questions have remained about what other information might remain in holdings of the intelligence community. Last week, the latest in an ongoing declassification of records related to the assassination made additional JFK files available to the public. On this episode of The Micah Hanks Program, we look at what the new documents reveal about Kennedy's death, the CIA and Cold War espionage, the birth of the "Deep State," and also claims that UFOs may have been somehow linked to Kennedy's untimely death in 1963.

Non-Human Intelligence: A Strategy for Research | MHP 03.18.25
It is one of the greatest questions humankind has ever faced: are we alone in the cosmos? If alien life on other worlds exists, are there intelligent forms that may be capable of communication? Or is it even possible that some form of non-human intelligence might already be present closer to Earth than we realize? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, in our ongoing discussions about the possibility of exotic life forms and the possibility of non-human intelligence, we discuss a potential strategy for research that examines where life might be found, in what forms it may appear, and whether it could be lurking nearby unrecognized by modern science.

The Colorado Drone Mystery: The 'Obscurum' Files | MHP 03.03.25.
In late 2019, residents of Colorado and Nebraska were perplexed by a sudden wave of mystery drone sightings that, to date, remain unexplained. The bizarre incidents led to widespread concern among locals in many rural midwestern communities, which bore an undeniable similarity to recent sightings of mystery drones in the skies over New Jersey that captivated the nation. Joining us this week on The Micah Hanks Program is Gabe Lenners, a television and radio host, journalist, podcaster, and host of the new podcast OBSCURUM, which dives into the heart of the 2019 Colorado drone mystery. Lenners discusses his in-depth investigation into the mystery drone incidents, and the perplexing twists that emerged in the case that included strange sightings by locals, alleged animal mutilations, and mysterious individuals who may have been connected to the mystery.

Jacques Vallée: In Pursuit of Forbidden Science | MHP 02.25.25.
Few have worked longer and with more passion toward understanding the unexplained than astronomer, computer scientist, and internet pioneer Jacques Vallée, who for most of his life has pursued the "forbidden science" of unidentified aerial phenomena. A scientist, researcher, and author of an impressive number of non-fiction and fiction offerings, Vallée's latest work, Forbidden Science 6: Scattered Castles, represents the most recent installment of his personal journals. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, Dr. Vallée returns to the show to share his latest research, and reflections on years of study that are presented in his latest volume of published journals. We discuss Dr. Vallée's time working with the AAWSAP program, how he and his colleagues searched for access to alleged UAP technologies recovered by the U.S. government, advanced concepts like the "Meta-system" of UAP technology, and much more with one the true living legends of modern UAP studies.

The UFO Messengers of Deception | 02.18.25.
For decades, belief in unidentified aerial phenomena has found its way into the ideas espoused by a number of religious and political groups, as well as other organizations with unusual backgrounds. In his landmark analysis of this aspect of modern UFO-related beliefs, computer scientist Jacques Vallee argued in his 1979 book Messengers of Deception that such beliefs could play a key role in understanding both the phenomenon itself, as well as how it may be used by such groups as a control mechanism. But could the same things still be occurring today as well? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we compare recent events in the ongoing UAP whistleblower debate to Vallee's fundamental premise from decades ago; who are today's UFO messengers of deception, and for what purposes might any such group seek to control aspects of the popular UAP narrative?

However, in the midst of the controversy, new reports of an alleged "UAP Working Group" within the FBI has renewed attention on the Bureau's UAP investigations; does the FBI have its own real-life UFO X-Files? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look into the deeper history of the FBI's involvement in UAP investigations, including how one researcher unraveled an actual series of files dubbed the "X-Files" that were once kept in the FBI's holdings, as well as several of the top UFO-related files made available for reading on the FBI's website.

The Summoners: Whistleblower Claims and the 'CE-5 Protocol' | MHP 01.28.25.
Claims involving an alleged secret government retrieval program continue to dominate the UAP discussion following the recent airing of an interview with Jacob Barber, a former USAF serviceman who alleges that he participated in a covert government operation that employed "psionics" to assist in summoning UAP. How much, if any, of Barber's claims are legitimate, and can be verified? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, in our continuing analysis of Barber's claims, we look at new details that have come to light in a full-length interview that was released since his story surfaced, which includes Barber's retelling of how he met the controversial UAP disclosure activist Dr. Steven Greer. Where does the new information, including Barber's further beliefs involving Greer's "CE-5 protocol," leave us as far as the legitimacy of the latest alleged whistleblower claims?

Covert Controversy: The Jacob Barber UAP Allegations | MHP 01.21.25.
On Saturday, an exclusive interview aired on News Nation in which Jacob Barber, a retired U.S. Air Force serviceman, made a bombshell claim to Australian journalist Ross Coulthart: that he had served for years as part of an alleged covert program that recovered spacecraft of non-human origin. Amid claims of encounters with UAP, Barber also told of alleged "psionics" employed by the U.S. government, who assist in summoning these craft... but are the claims simply too outrageous to be true?

Sightings III: Anomalous Encounters and Secret Technologies | MHP 01.14.25.
Witnesses from all parts of the world spanning several decades have reported sightings of mysterious phenomena in our skies. Currently, these phenomena are being investigated by the U.S. Department of Defense, which formally refers to them as unidentified anomalous phenomena. What are these objects, what are their origins, and could some of the mysterious sightings point to the existence of secretive military technologies? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, new information has come to light about startling claims that aired recently on The Shawn Ryan Podcast involving alleged communications received from Cybertruck bomber Matthew Livelsberger. The FBI has now confirmed the authenticity of the email and its author, who claimed to have had access to an unacknowledged special access program involving UAP. Following our update on the situation, we shift our attention to mysterious sightings that have been submitted to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, including a remarkable observation of a large, silent triangular object over Iraq by a former member of the Armed Services. Could some of the UAP observed in our skies involve secretive U.S. government capabilities, not unlike those discussed in the controversial Livelsberger email? Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?

Incident in Las Vegas: New Year's Attacks, UAP Secrets, & Conspiracy Claims | MHP 01.07.25.
As 2025 kicks off, U.S. officials have been on high alert following a pair of New Years Day attacks that occurred in separate American cities only hours apart. One of the incidents, a suicide bombing involving a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, has also become the focus of controversy for reasons few might have predicted: new allegations that the bomber had possessed knowledge of U.S. war crimes, secret propulsion technologies being used by China, and a supposed UAP unacknowledged special access program. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine the strange allegations that recently surfaced during an appearance by intelligence analyst Sam Shoemate on the podcast of Shawn Ryan. Both Ryan and Shoemate say they received email communications from an individual who identified themselves as Matthew Livelsberger, the same individual's whose body was found at the scene of the Las Vegas incident a short time later. Is there any weight to the shocking allegations, or is there evidence supporting the possibility of an unfortunate hoax? Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?

The Curious Case of 'Navy X' and 2024 UAP Revelations | MHP 12.23.24.
In recent days, following the release of "The Program," the latest documentary offering by filmmaker James Fox, an alleged U.S. government whistleblower identified only as "Navy X" released a statement online that makes allegations that are now all-too-familiar to those who closely follow the UAP mystery. Who is this alleged source, and can their claims of long-running UAP secrecy from within the U.S. government be verified? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, in addition to a "mystery drone" update and a review of the latest whistleblower claims associated with the enigmatic "Navy X", we explore revelations we have learned about the UAP phenomenon over the course of 2024.

Drones: The Making of a Modern UFO Flap | MHP 12.16.24.
Since November, American East Coast residents and U.S. officials have demanded clarity after a wave of drone sightings occurring over New Jersey and New York, with their origins and intent still shrouded in mystery. While the FBI and others have activated specialized drone detection systems to help assess the situation, Pentagon officials have reassured the public that most of the sightings are misidentifications, although many local leaders and residents remain unconvinced and increasingly anxious. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we take a deeper look at the ongoing mystery drone sightings, as well as popular theories that have recently emerged as sightings have now been reported over Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio and other military facilities.

Incursions: Mystery Drones Over New Jersey | MHP 12.10.24.
Since mid-November, ongoing sightings of "mystery drones" in the skies over New Jersey have sparked alarm among residents, as officials continue to investigate the odd nightly incursions. Although authorities maintain that the drones pose no apparent threat to the public, many questions remain about the mysterious objects, and their operators and ultimate purpose remain unknown. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we take an in-depth look at the mysterious aerial incursions, what officials have had to say, and why even the Pentagon and its UAP investigative unit, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), appear to be responding to the "drone fever" that has swept the United States in recent weeks.

The Mystery Drones: Incursions in UK Airspace | MHP 12.03.24.
In late November, a series of concerning incidents began to unfold in the skies above several U.S. Air Force bases in the United Kingdom. For several days, military officials and local civilian witnesses observed incursions by mysterious drones over these high-security facilities, all of which the Pentagon says remain unresolved. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we analyze the recent mystery drone incidents in detail and explore what is known about the military response to these incursions, what their origins may be, and why some UAP proponents have argued that the objects may not be drones at all. What is the most likely explanation for the concerning spate of sightings, and what could it all mean for the national security of the Western nations that have been targeted?

AARO Goes on the Record | MHP 11.26.24.
Last week, the new director of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), Dr. Jon Kosloski, made his first official public appearance before lawmakers during a Senate hearing, hosted by the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities and overseen by U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY). Although many immediately took to social media and expressed criticism of Kosloski, AARO’s recent report, and the Senate hearing, there are still several notable details that have emerged within the last week that suggest AARO may be headed in a new, more promising direction. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we provide a complete analysis of the most significant takeaways from the hearing, and what they could mean for the future of the Pentagon’s UAP investigations.

The 2024 AARO Report and the Immaculate Constellation Controversy | MHP 11.19.24.
Shortly after another bombshell Congressional hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) released its Fiscal Year 2024 Consolidated Annual Report on UAP, detailing the U.S. government's latest findings on aerial mysteries with references to mysterious "green fireballs," "multicolored jellyfish," and UAP that "shadowed" aircraft. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we analyze key findings from the new AARO report before shifting our attention to recent controversies that erupted involving a new document related to the alleged "Immaculate Constellation" program. Does new evidence point to the likelihood that the document and other allegations related to the program could be U.S. government disinformation? Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?

Twilight of Empires: Societal Collapse and the Lost Civilization Enigma | MHP 11.06.24.
Throughout the history of civilization, the rise and fall of empires has remained one of the most striking phenomena that impacts societies. Ancient cultures who seemingly reached the apex of human achievement for their time could often swiftly be reduced to ashes, by factors ranging from invasions by foreign enemies, to natural cataclysms. However, there are also mysteries about the disappearances of societies throughout history, leading to unanswered questions about how civilizations can seemingly vanish into the mists of time. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we go in search of answers to the question of how societies collapse, and the intriguing mystery surrounding the disappearance of cultures and the tragic fall of some of history's greatest empires.

The Horror Out of Time: Time Travel, UAP, and Cosmic Enigmas | MHP 10.30.24.
"Conflict with time seems to me the most potent and fruitful theme in all human expression," wrote the acclaimed writer of weird fiction H.P. Lovecraft, who noted that time was often emphasized in his stories because he viewed it as "the most profoundly dramatic and grimly terrible thing in the universe." In this special Halloween installment of The Micah Hanks Program, we look at scientific and literary themes involving time, as well as its role in cosmic horror, theories involving time travel, and also the possible relationship between time and UFOs, artificial intelligence, and much more, in an eerie exploration of one of Lovecraft's most famous and frightening motifs.

UFOs & Counterintelligence: False Narratives & Fake UAP Programs | MHP 10.22.24.
For decades, rumors have suggested the existence of secret U.S. government programs involved in the study and possible retrieval of mysterious craft of non-human origin. Such narratives have long maintained that the intelligence community has withheld information about these alleged UFO programs from the public, as well as from Congress. However, a less often examined question involves the role of counterintelligence and the use of deception in military operations that may have helped give rise to false narratives related to UFOs and alleged secret programs. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at explosive statements by former U.S. government officials that point to the existence of fake UFO programs, forged documents, and other deceptive measures that may have helped foster belief in a widespread UFO coverup.
