The Micah Hanks Program

Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna, an advocate for government transparency, discusses the newly formed Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets. The task force aims to investigate high-profile cases like the JFK and MLK assassinations, as well as UAPs and the COVID-19 response. Luna emphasizes the importance of bipartisan support for transparency and public trust. Listeners are challenged to consider how the revelations could reshape our understanding of these pivotal events in American history.

Bruce Maccabee, an optical physicist and UFO researcher, sheds light on the FBI's secretive UFO investigations. He discusses how he accessed UAP files via the Freedom of Information Act, revealing a treasure trove of historical data. The conversation dives into the potential impact of recent FBI personnel changes and the implications for public curiosity about UFOs. Maccabee also connects past incidents, like the Roswell affair, to current societal fascination, urging a blend of scientific skepticism and openness in the dialogue around extraterrestrial phenomena.

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?

A retired Air Force serviceman, Jacob Barber, claims to have been part of a covert program recovering non-human spacecraft. His story raises eyebrows as he discusses alleged 'psionics' used by the U.S. government to summon UAPs. The discussion delves into the intricacies of public perceptions shaped by social media and government secrecy. As Barber's assertions spark both intrigue and skepticism, listeners are invited to reflect on extraordinary claims and the challenges of validating such narratives.

The episode dives into mysterious sightings reported globally, spotlighting the U.S. Department of Defense's investigations into unidentified anomalous phenomena. Recent claims from an alleged insider shed light on secret military technologies linked to these phenomena. A striking account from a former service member details a silent triangular object over Iraq. The discussion also addresses skepticism around government credibility in UFO discourse and highlights the importance of the UAP Sightings Reporting System for public contributions.

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?

A recent whistleblower named 'Navy X' has made intriguing claims about UAP secrecy within the U.S. government. The podcast dives into the complexities and controversies surrounding these revelations, contrasting official statements with insider perspectives. Notably, military personnel share their encounters with glowing orbs and triangular objects. Discussions also touch on anticipated insights for 2024, raising questions about possible extraterrestrial links and transparency. An extraordinary pilot's experience with a high-flying mysterious object adds to the tantalizing narrative.

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.

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.  Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?
