Since the late 1940s, stories about crashed flying saucers in the American Southwest have perplexed UFO researchers, and while many believe the stories have at least a grain of truth, others have wondered whether at least some of the tales could involve intentional efforts to mislead the public to help cover up legitimate secret programs maintained by the U.S. military.

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at the role of disinformation in the bizarre hall of mirrors of Ufology, and historical case studies involving how lies, misdirection, and psychological warfare have been used to steer the UFO narrative for more than half a century.

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.
