The Micah Hanks Program

This week's edition of The Gralien Report examines myths of strange people in the ancient world, as well as legends of cannibalism which may - or may not - be myths as well.

This week's podcast features discussion about an alleged "miracle" being investigated by members of the Catholic Church in Utah. Then Gary Holloway joins us to discuss drones and the future of researching the mysterious.

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, what was Jacques Vallee discussing recently during a public Reddit “Ask Me Anything”, and how does it reflect on modern UFO research? Then it’s off to China, where a new – and very massive – telescope is being built which some think will be a game changer in the search for extraterrestrial life. Also, members of the Catholic Church in Utah are discussing an unusual phenomenon that recently occurred, which some are calling a miracle. Or, could it be a matter of chemistry instead?

Then in hour two, we are told an unusual story about something that happened on a west Texas oil field, which has left many scratching their heads. Gary Holloway, a licensed pilot of drones who supplies HD aerial footage of his flights to major television networks and documentary filmmakers, offers commentary on the incident, as well as his own perspectives of how technologies like civilian drones and high-definition footage will change the the way we study mysterious phenomena in the coming years.

This week we examine Edgar Allan Poe's "predictions" about a gruesome maritime disaster, as well as that most famous of tragedies, the sinking of the Titanic.

This week on The Gralien Report, we discuss U.S. President Barack Obama, who has, during his presidency, said more about the subject of UFOs than any other commander in chief. During his recent interview with GQ, here’s what he told HBO’s Bill Simmons he found his briefings on subjects like UFOs, “a little disappointing,” noting that, “People always ask me about Roswell and the aliens and UFOs, and it turns out the stuff going on that’s top secret isn’t nearly as exciting as you expect. In this day and age, it’s not as top secret as you’d think.”

Perhaps more interesting than this statement is the fact that, in response to a question about the JFK assassination, Mr. Obama actually chose to mention Roswell and UFOs. By virtue of calling it “disappointing”, one might even guess that he’d had something of a passing interest in the subject.

Then in the show’s second hour, Micah recounts unusual experiences he had during a recent visit to one of the oldest cities in America: Charleston, South Carolina. Exploring the literary ties to the city’s past, we uncover information — and inspiration — behind icons like H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe, who both visited the town. Finally, as our discussions of the seaport town set said and move adrift, we examine some of Poe’s alleged “predictions” about a maritime disaster, as well as that most famous of seafaring tragedies: the sinking of the Titanic. How much truth could there be to the alternative theories suggested about the ship’s sinking, and what was the ultimate fate of the ship’s captain?

Finally, had there been a famous investigative journalist that “predicted” the tragedy, and his own death as a result of it? We examine all this, and more, on this week’s Gralien Report Podcast.

Is there a "war" against consciousness? We discuss this, as well as philosophy and science, as well as altered states of consciousness as they relate to the use of psychedelic substances.

This week on The Gralien Report, we kick things off with a bit of somber reflection regarding the Friday the 13th terrorist attacks in Paris (for more on this, please check out our special edition of Middle Theory this week, which addresses the Paris attacks in greater depth). We also look at new science being applied to human ancestry in Europe, as well as a new continuity that has been discovered between mathematical formulae and quantum physics.

Then in hour two, author Joshua Cutchin and blogger Red Pill Junkie join us to discuss science, philosophy, and the “war on consciousness.” Our discussion begins as Micah sets the record straight on a recent claim that a “psychic” had confirmed for him the existence of an underground base in a protected wilderness, which Josh and RPJ chime in about with due hilarity, and analysis about the pitfalls of belief in the absence of rationalism. Then we move on to the discussion of consciousness, as well as philosophy, and even altered states of consciousness as it relates to the use of psychedelic substances.

Is there more to the idea of secret societies which, at times, may indeed resemble the fictional Spectre in the latest James Bond film, and perhaps more than we realize? We'll examine this, and more, on this week's Gralien Report Podcast.

This edition of The Gralien Report focuses on the life of author H.P. Lovecraft, one of the defining writers of horror and science fiction in the 20th century.

This post, TGR 11.02.15. The Weird Mind of H.P. Lovecraft, first appeared at The Gralien Report.

This week on The Gralien Report, news of a passenger jet that crashed after breaking apart as it passed over Egypt has aroused suspicions about the cause of the incident. Following discussion of the case, we examine listener reports of odd experiences, one of which seems to suggest more of the “information from nowhere” phenomenon which seems to enter people’s minds as if told to them by a friend or relative, but later revealed to have been of more uncertain–if not impossible–origins.

Then during hour two, historian and researcher Vance Pollock joins us in studio as we share a discussion about the life of weird fiction author H.P. Lovecraft, one of the defining writers of horror and science fiction in the 20th century. In recent years, Lovecraft’s work has seen a resurgence in interest among horror aficionados, as well as some controversy. We examine the author’s attitudes about life, and his influence on horror films of the decades that would follow his short, but impactful career as an unparalleled fiction writer.
