Witnesses from all parts of the world spanning several decades have reported sightings of mysterious phenomena in our skies. Currently, these phenomena are being investigated by the U.S. Department of Defense, which formally refers to them as unidentified anomalous phenomena. What are these objects, what are their origins, and could some of the mysterious sightings point to the existence of secretive military technologies? 

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, new information has come to light about startling claims that aired recently on The Shawn Ryan Podcast involving alleged communications received from Cybertruck bomber Matthew Livelsberger. The FBI has now confirmed the authenticity of the email and its author, who claimed to have had access to an unacknowledged special access program involving UAP. Following our update on the situation, we shift our attention to mysterious sightings that have been submitted to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, including a remarkable observation of a large, silent triangular object over Iraq by a former member of the Armed Services. Could some of the UAP observed in our skies involve secretive U.S. government capabilities, not unlike those discussed in the controversial Livelsberger email?

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?

From humanity’s interstellar ambitions, to the rise of quantum computing, AI, and the U.S. government's investigations into UAP, 2024 has been another groundbreaking year for science. But what might await in the new year, and what kinds of 2025 predictions indicate developments that could potentially reshape life on Earth, and perhaps even beyond? 

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we take a look at the year ahead and how how artificial intelligence and other technologies are unlocking answers to age-old mysteries and cutting-edge challenges. In our survey of 2025 predictions, we also examine whether AI advancements and significant UAP revelations could await us in the next 12 months.

In recent days, following the release of "The Program," the latest documentary offering by filmmaker James Fox, an alleged U.S. government whistleblower identified only as "Navy X" released a statement online that makes allegations that are now all-too-familiar to those who closely follow the UAP mystery. Who is this alleged source, and can their claims of long-running UAP secrecy from within the U.S. government be verified? 

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, in addition to a "mystery drone" update and a review of the latest whistleblower claims associated with the enigmatic "Navy X", we explore revelations we have learned about the UAP phenomenon over the course of 2024.

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.

In late November, a series of concerning incidents began to unfold in the skies above several U.S. Air Force bases in the United Kingdom. For several days, military officials and local civilian witnesses observed incursions by mysterious drones over these high-security facilities, all of which the Pentagon says remain unresolved.

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we analyze the recent mystery drone incidents in detail and explore what is known about the military response to these incursions, what their origins may be, and why some UAP proponents have argued that the objects may not be drones at all. What is the most likely explanation for the concerning spate of sightings, and what could it all mean for the national security of the Western nations that have been targeted?

Last week, the new director of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), Dr. Jon Kosloski, made his first official public appearance before lawmakers during a Senate hearing, hosted by the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities and overseen by U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY).

Although many immediately took to social media and expressed criticism of Kosloski, AARO’s recent report, and the Senate hearing, there are still several notable details that have emerged within the last week that suggest AARO may be headed in a new, more promising direction. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we provide a complete analysis of the most significant takeaways from the hearing, and what they could mean for the future of the Pentagon’s UAP investigations.

Shortly after another bombshell Congressional hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) released its Fiscal Year 2024 Consolidated Annual Report on UAP, detailing the U.S. government's latest findings on aerial mysteries with references to mysterious "green fireballs," "multicolored jellyfish," and UAP that "shadowed" aircraft. 

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we analyze key findings from the new AARO report before shifting our attention to recent controversies that erupted involving a new document related to the alleged "Immaculate Constellation" program. Does new evidence point to the likelihood that the document and other allegations related to the program could be U.S. government disinformation?

On Wednesday, lawmakers convened on Capitol Hill for the latest in a series of Congressional hearings on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). Testifying were Rear Admiral Timothy Gallaudet, former counterintelligence special agent Luis Elizondo, former NASA UAP Independent Study Team member Mike Gold, and independent journalist Michael Shellenberger, all of whom expressed frustration over government secrecy surrounding the Pentagon’s UAP investigations.

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we provide a full analysis of the recent hearing with all the major takeaways, including questions regarding alleged UAP crash retrieval programs, concerns about the DoD's All-domain Anomaly Resolution, alleged disinformation and "influence campaigns," and much more.
