Since 2017, reports of unusual encounters U.S. military personnel have had with anomalous aerial phenomena have seen renewed debate among the military, the media, and the academic community. Meanwhile, an undercurrent of cases involving anomalous health incidents has also gradually come to the attention of the intelligence community; but could there be a relationship between the two, and if so, what is it?  This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we are joined by Garry Nolan, a Stanford University professor of pathology who discusses his groundbreaking research into anomalous health incidents, and their possible relationship to UAP, as well as the analysis of materials purportedly recovered from anomalous aerial vehicles.

             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?

Missing Pieces: The DoD's 'Perception Management' of UAP | MHP 05.21.24.

             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.

Skinwalkers on Capitol Hill | 05.14.24.

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.

The UFO Silencers | MHP 05.07.24.

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?

Incident at Eglin Air Force Base | MHP 04.30.24.

What do we really know about UFOs, following several decades of studying these phenomena?
