Anomalous Atmospheric Phenomena: Plasmas, Strange Weather, and Climate Curiosities | MHP 07.29.25.


Listen Later

In 1996, a NASA space shuttle mission meant to study microgravity’s effects on electromagnetism may have recorded one of the most puzzling and controversial encounters ever filmed in Earth orbit—dozens, and eventually hundreds, of luminous, pulsating objects seemingly reacting to high-voltage electromagnetic fields in space. What were the strange objects, and could they be related to mysterious plasmas that are believed to manifest in Earth’s atmosphere, which are sometimes responsible for UAP sightings?

From bizarre luminous manifestations in our skies, to extreme weather events and meteorological oddities, this week on The Micah Hanks Program we explore cases involving anomalous atmospheric phenomena and climatic curiosities, which include eerie glowing plasmas and other unusual manifestations, to an ancient mystery involving abrupt temperature reversals that continue to baffle scientists.

Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting? Please consider reporting your sighting to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, a public resource for information about sightings of aerial phenomena.
