The Micah Hanks Program

Since the late 1940s, sightings of unidentified flying objects have made headlines across America and other parts of the world. While a seemingly global phenomenon, the collection of data on the UFO subject has benefited greatly from serious investigators who have narrowed the focus of their efforts to specific regions or areas of study.

Pennsylvania's Stan Gordon is perhaps one of the best-known examples of the regional UFO researcher extraordinaire. He has chronicled sightings of UFOs, and occasional cases involving "high strangeness" in his home state for more than six decades, and joins us this week to discuss his work on The Micah Hanks Program.

In recent days, a historic Congressional hearing was held before the House Intelligence Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation Subcommittee. The topic of interest: unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and the Pentagon's Airborne Object Identification Management and Synchronization Group (AOIMSG).

"UAPs are unexplained. It's true, but they are real," said Representative Andre Carson during the recent House Panel hearing. "They need to be investigated and many threats they pose need to be mitigated." Featuring testimony from Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence & Security Ronald S. Moultrie and Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott W. Bray, the hearings have become one of the most talked-about developments in the recent debate over UAP, as well as the broader history of the UFO phenomenon. This week, we take a look at the hearings, and the wide range of responses to them on The Micah Hanks Program.

In 2004, a high-profile UFO incident involving the USS Nimitz occurred off the California coast. It now represents one of the most widely recognized cases of its kind in the modern debate over unidentified aerial phenomena... but now we know it was not the only military UFO encounter to have occurred that year.

Returning to the program this week is filmmaker Dave Beaty, whose reporting for The Debrief recently brought to light another U.S. Navy encounter that occurred in 2004, involving the USS Ronald Reagan. We discuss Beaty's investigations into the UAP incident, and his interviews with firsthand witnesses, this week on The Micah Hanks Program.

Since 2017, many surprising developments have occurred within the study of UFOs, or what the U.S. government and many scientists now prefer to call UAP. But how much has really changed since the UFO mystery began decades ago, and what have we learned in recent years about the phenomenon?

Joining us to discuss all this and more is journalist Alejandro Rojas, who shares his insights on the current state of science being applied toward aerial mysteries, as well as the government's ongoing involvement with UAP investigations... all this week on The Micah Hanks Program.

During the 1980s, several members of the UFO research community were targeted as part of one or more disinformation campaigns that aimed to plant false information. Ranging from stories of UFO crashes and cattle mutilations, to underground bases at places like Dulce, New Mexico, and even an ongoing war with hostile extraterrestrials, several ideas were successfully presented to UFO researchers which have continued to proliferate through ufology into the present day.

Joining us to discuss UFO disinformation and its influence over the decades is Adam Gorightly, author of the book Saucers, Spooks and Kooks: UFO Disinformation in the Age of Aquarius. Gorightly gives us a powerful overview of the ufological scene in the 80s and 90s, and reveals the origins of the infamous "Dulce Base" mythos this week on The Micah Hanks Program.

In the summer of 1947, news broke that a crashed flying saucer had been recovered by the U.S. Air Force on a remote ranch in New Mexico. Then, just one day later, the story was withdrawn, and the object was said to have merely been a weather balloon. Decades later the story would resurface, giving rise to one of the greatest controversies in the history of UFOs: the Roswell Incident.

Joining us this week is Walter Bosley, a researcher whose father also recalled stories similar to the infamous Roswell Incident. Bosley shares his own investigations into his late father's memories, as well as speculations about early aerospace developments that might help to shed light on the modern UFO mystery in this installment of The Micah Hanks Program.

Since the early 2000s, several high-profile incidents involving Navy and other military encounters with unidentified aircraft have occurred. While some of the strange objects seem very out of this world, others sound far more like drone or similar unmanned aircraft with possibly very down-to-earth origins... and yet the ultimate source of these "mystery drones" and other unusual aircraft remains unknown.

Joining us to discuss his reporting on several incidents involving mystery drones and other unusual military UAP encounters is Brett Tingley, whose reporting for sites like The Warzone has chronicled what may point to the existence of secretive aerial technologies in U.S. airspace, all of which we explore with him this week on The Micah Hanks Program.

Throughout human history, stories have been shared that involve unusual occurrences and meetings with other forms of intelligence. According to many ancient traditions, these beings are recognized by such names as angels, demons, deities, or gods; but what is the real source behind such supernatural beliefs?

Joining us this week is Dr. Gregory L. Little, a longtime researcher into areas that include North American archaeology, and paranormal claims that include unidentified aerial phenomena, or UFOs. Little is the co-author of a new book with Andy Collins, Origins of the Gods, which explores such themes as natural plasma phenomena, and the origins of many supernatural belief systems around the world. We discuss the book, and Little's research into UFO phenomena throughout the decades this week on The Micah Hanks Program.

It represents one of history and archaeology's greatest mysteries: how did the ancient Egyptians build the pyramids? While much is known about the construction of these impressive ancient monuments, lingering questions have led some researchers in esoteric directions while searching for clues about these wonders of the ancient world.

This week, we go in pursuit of "anomalous archaeology", and the question of whether chemists in ancient Egypt might have played a role in novel construction techniques used to help build the pyramids. We also explore other uncanny evidence of "high technology" used in the ancient world, and whether archaeology supports the idea that several surprisingly advanced technological developments occurred before the present day.

Last summer, just days before a controversial report on unidentified aerial phenomena appeared online at the website of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Congress received a classified briefing on some of the details that were not included in the public report. That version of the UAP Task Force's "Preliminary Assessment" remained unrevealed to the public... until now.

John Greenewald Jr. of The Black Vault, an expert on the use of the Freedom of Information Act, joins us this week to discuss how he was able to use this legal process to appeal for the release of the classified version of the government report on UFOs... and succeeded. We talk with John about what the new version of the report does and does not reveal about the government's investigations into aerial mysteries this week on The Micah Hanks Program.
