Despite NASA and the Pentagon intensifying their investigations into UAP, each agency maintains that no evidence of extraterrestrial technology has been found, and has presented only moderate results with their investigations. Meanwhile, civilian scientists are making significant contributions to our understanding of UAPs, with events like the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies and its 2024 AAPC conference bringing together leading researchers and academics to discuss the science behind UAP sightings and their potential implications. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we take a look at the SCU's analysis of flight characteristics of these phenomena, revealing extraordinary capabilities that challenge current technological understandings. We also dive into recent discussions with military and intelligence professionals that underscore the seriousness of the UAP issue, highlighting skepticism towards AARO’s efforts and the need for a more collaborative approach to uncover the truth behind these mysterious encounters.

Recent advancements in archaeology are expanding our knowledge about the ancient past, enabling scientists to date prehistoric sites more accurately, and revealing new insights into people's lives throughout the ancient world. However, with the new knowledge we are attaining, new questions are coming to light about our ancient past, as well as some controversial revelations that could lead to paradigm shifts in archaeology.  This week on The Micah Hanks Program, after an update on the ever-evolving UAP whistleblower claims, we shift our focus over to a pair of recent archaeological discoveries that are causing many experts to revisit old perplexing questions about cosmic-scale events that occurred long ago, as well as questions over who may have been among the earliest to arrive in North America.

In 2017, Luis Elizondo, a former U.S. Army Counterintelligence Special Agent and former employee of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, revealed that he had been involved with the U.S. Department of Defense's investigations into unidentified aerial phenomena. Since coming forward, Elizondo has remained a controversial figure, with some questioning his claims, as well as whether the program he said he ran, the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, or AATIP, even existed.  This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we delve into Elizondo's recent claims that he had been made aware of potential threats targeting him, and what the former special agent characterizes as "perception management" being undertaken by the DoD with its assertions about his relationship to the AATIP program, and claims regarding the destruction of his official correspondences.  Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?

Skinwalker Ranch in Utah has long remained a focus of intrigue and controversy in UFO research. The famous alleged paranormal hotspot, marked by its geological history and the foreboding shadows of sandstone mesas, is haunted by legends of the Skinwalker—a malevolent shapeshifter from Native Ute lore. Over time, these myths have been joined by contemporary accounts of unexplained occurrences, from strange lights in the night sky to the mysterious disappearance of cattle, reinforcing the ranch's reputation as a nexus for unexplainable activity. The ranch's allure has not only captivated the imaginations of those who visit but has also garnered attention from members of the U.S. government. In 2018, a confidential briefing was held on Capitol Hill, attended by notable individuals including the ranch's current owner, Brandon Fugal, and Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, who would go on to become the director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we discuss these recent revelations, and explore the strange history that showcases the peculiar bridge between governmental curiosity and the enduring legends of Skinwalker Ranch.

Over the decades, many people who claim to possess knowledge of UFOs or have even seen these unusual objects themselves have alleged that threats, intimidation, or other efforts to silence them have been undertaken. But who are these mysterious "UFO silencers," and where does the line between fact and folklore fall on this contentious subject?  This week on The Micah Hanks Program, following an analysis of the latest controversies involving whistleblower David Grusch, we examine his claims of reprisals following his choice to come forward with claims of knowledge about secret UAP-related programs within the U.S. government. We then look at AARO's investigations into potentials means by which those with insider knowledge could be potentially be held accountable, and finally, the UFO folklore involving claims of "UFO silencers" from over the decades.

In January 2023, a U.S. military pilot reported an encounter with a group of unusual objects flying in a diamond formation over the Gulf of Mexico near Eglin Air Force Base. The incident, which eventually came to the attention of Florida Representative Matt Gaetz, became a matter of public record after Gaetz discussed it during a Congressional hearing in the summer of 2023.  Now, the DoD's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office has released its official report on the incident, claiming the case has now been resolved. However, there are several problems with AARO's analysis, and this week on The Micah Hanks Program, we dive into all of the issues that present rationale for why there may be unresolved questions about this alleged UAP incident.  Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?

What do we really know about UFOs, following several decades of studying these phenomena? With the many questions that remain about unidentified aerial phenomena, how can science help us to implement new strategies that may allow us to broaden our knowledge about these aerial mysteries?  This week on The Micah Hanks Program, former R&D scientist Robert Powell joins us to discuss his nearly two decades of investigation into UFOs, culminating in his new book UFOs: A Scientist Explains What We Know (And Don’t Know).  Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?

Analyzing Chris Mellon's response to the Pentagon's AARO report, including a secretive UAP program at Area 51, CIA's view on UAP, and UFO sightings. Delving into historical UAP studies, accountability of officials, and the CIA report on UFO sightings, debunking Arrow report and examining drone incidents, exploring secret UAP programs near Area 51 in the 1980s, discussing Area 51's history and controversies, UAP sightings over Area 51, and analyzing Air Force and DOD's media manipulation tactics.

In the Autumn of 1957, a series of events unfolded that, for a time, left U.S. defense officials believing that the country was on the verge of war with the Soviet Union, as a pair of mysterious objects were tracked on radar systems making their way toward a series of high security facilities. Before action could be taken, the objects mysteriously vanished, and the story receded into the shadows of Cold War memories for decades, prior to a series of once-secret CIA files surfaced detailing the startling incident. What do such circumstances say about the U.S. military's capabilities in terms of unidentified aerial phenomena? Based on a recent series of documents released through FOIA requests, decades later the U.S. is still struggling to reconcile the problem presented by UAP in our airspace. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we analyze the ongoing problem that may very well represent the DoD's darkest UAP secret of all: what it doesn't know about mysterious aerial phenomena.  Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?

 In 1950, a bizarre story involving the alleged crash of a flying saucer near Aztec, New Mexico, and its subsequent recovery by the U.S. military, sparked one of the most notorious claims in 20th-century UFO studies. Although revealed to be a hoax, why might U.S. intelligence agencies have taken interest in the story, and its bizarre claims about alien bodies recovered from the wreckage? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, after an analysis of the current state of the UFO debate, we reveal why it’s really only another case of history repeating itself. However something that is often left out of the debate over U.S. government disclosure of information about aerial mysteries involves human deception, and why it is so interwoven with the UFO mystery.
