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 Pentagonâs 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.

Throughout the history of civilization, the rise and fall of empires has remained one of the most striking phenomena that impacts societies. Ancient cultures who seemingly reached the apex of human achievement for their time could often swiftly be reduced to ashes, by factors ranging from invasions by foreign enemies, to natural cataclysms. However, there are also mysteries about the disappearances of societies throughout history, leading to unanswered questions about how civilizations can seemingly vanish into the mists of time.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we go in search of answers to the question of how societies collapse, and the intriguing mystery surrounding the disappearance of cultures and the tragic fall of some of history's greatest empires.

"Conflict with time seems to me the most potent and fruitful theme in all human expression," wrote the acclaimed writer of weird fiction H.P. Lovecraft, who noted that time was often emphasized in his stories because he viewed it as "the most profoundly dramatic and grimly terrible thing in the universe."
In this special Halloween installment of The Micah Hanks Program, we look at scientific and literary themes involving time, as well as its role in cosmic horror, theories involving time travel, and also the possible relationship between time and UFOs, artificial intelligence, and much more, in an eerie exploration of one of Lovecraft's most famous and frightening motifs.

For decades, rumors have suggested the existence of secret U.S. government programs involved in the study and possible retrieval of mysterious craft of non-human origin. Such narratives have long maintained that the intelligence community has withheld information about these alleged UFO programs from the public, as well as from Congress.
However, a less often examined question involves the role of counterintelligence and the use of deception in military operations that may have helped give rise to false narratives related to UFOs and alleged secret programs. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at explosive statements by former U.S. government officials that point to the existence of fake UFO programs, forged documents, and other deceptive measures that may have helped foster belief in a widespread UFO coverup.

Recently, independent journalist Michael Shellenberger reported on the allegations of an alleged U.S. government insider who claims they discovered evidence of an unacknowledged special access program, codenamed "Immaculate Constellation," which has been secretly collecting data on encounters with unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, amid ongoing allegations that the U.S. government is withholding secret information about UAP programs that include databases with imagery and other evidence of anomalous craft operating in our skies, we examine the latest whistleblower claims and their possible implications, as well as the precedent for whether such highly secretive programs could exist, and remain a secret for so long.

Following the devastation of Hurricane Helene, misinformation and conspiracy theories have spread widely, hampering recovery efforts. This, in addition to new claims from independent journalist Michael Shellenberger, who has reported on an alleged whistleblower's extraordinary claims regarding an alleged secret Pentagon UAP retrieval program called "Immaculate Constellation," which we cover amid the ongoing hurricane relief effort here in Western North Carolina.
As false claims continue to circulate, including rumors of secret land sales for lithium mining, allegations of disaster-relief funds being diverted, and unverified reports regarding current death tolls, many claims suggest federal authorities are covering up casualties or seizing land, while others promote baseless theories about weather control. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we take a deep dive into what North Carolina state representatives and FEMA officials have said and done amid these rumors, and the potential dangers of misinformation in undermining relief efforts and creating unnecessary fear and confusion among affected communities.

In the final days of September, 2024, Hurricane Helene made landfall over the southeastern United States, causing widespread destruction that affected several states, with areas around Asheville, North Carolina, being among those most adversely impacted.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, Micah is joined by Matthew Oakley and Christopher Heyes to provide a detailed report on the situation on the ground here in Asheville, including personal experiences in the community, commentary on the local and federal emergency response, and also analysis of rumors and conspiracies about the storm that have begun to circulate since the devastation ensued.

Between 2016 and 2019, a series of secretive tests were conducted by the U.S. Navy into a mysterious phenomenon that became known as "The Pais Effect." The experimentation stemmed from the publication of a collection of unusual patents describing UFO-like technologies by Salvatore Pais, an engineer and inventor whose work remains controversial today.
Joining us this week on The Micah Hanks Program, Salvatore Pais speaks with Micah and colleague Tim McMillan for an on-the-record discussion about the patents, what inspired them, official inquiries that resulted from the Navy's experiments, and also the national security significance of Pais's research into "The Pais Effect."

In 2013, a feature article appeared on the website of legendary aerospace and defense giant Lockheed Martin that quickly had aviation buffs talking. The piece, titled âSpeed is the New Stealth,â claimed that a new hypersonic aircraft was under development at the companyâs famous Skunk Works facility, which would soon set a new standard for speed and stealth in American aerospace technologies. They called it the SR-72, an aircraft Aviation Week had already dubbed "the son of Blackbird" after its predecessor, the legendary SR-71.
Today, the status of the SR-72 program remains in question, although recent reports suggest that America's next secretive spy plane could soon be taking flight. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we delve into the mystery surrounding this aircraft, it's relationship to the fictional "Darkstar" program depicted in the film Top Gun: Maverick, and also look at UAP sightings that could involve encounters with unacknowledged U.S. stealth technologies.

In the years immediately following the Second World War, sightings of strange phenomena in our skies gave rise to one of the strangest developments of the postwar era: the "arrival" of flying saucers, strange objects that the U.S. government now calls unidentified anomalous phenomena.
Joining us this week is Greg Eghigian, a Professor of History and Bioethics at Pennsylvania State University. An expert on the history of the abnormal and the paranormal in the modern world, his research has been supported by NASA and the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, and Greg joins us on The Micah Hanks Program to discuss his recent book, After the Flying Saucers Came: A Global History of the UFO Phenomenon.

Throughout the final decades of the 20th century, strange beliefs began to pervade the UFO research community. Ranging from stories of alleged flying saucer crashes, to strange encounters with "malevolent" alien beings, these and other controversial narratives began to predominate the minds of many in the UFO field. Where did these ideas originate, and how have they continued to shape the modern UFO narrative?
Joining us this week to discuss the origins of such ideas is Charles Lear, an independent historical researcher and author of books that include his latest work, Crashed Saucers and Malevolent Aliens: The Emergence of the Popular Modern UFO Mythos in the Late 20th Century. We explore these ideas, and much more, on this week's edition of The Micah Hanks Program.

As humans continue to search the cosmos for evidence of intelligent life from other worlds, and the UAP debate suggests the possibility that it may already have found us, legal scholars are now considering how laws would apply to potential contact scenarios.
Joining us on The Micah Hanks Program this week are Professor Michael Bohlander, the Chair in Global Law and SETI Policy in the Durham Law School, and Dr. John Elliott, an Honorary Research Fellow in the School of Computer Science and the Coordinator for the SETI Post Detection Hub at the University of St Andrews. Together we explore how international laws could apply if contact with an extraterrestrial intelligence were made, and how a recent survey the researchers are conducting could be used to develop post-contact protocols.

Over the decades, sightings of mysterious objects in our skies have been reported from all over the world. Boasting a wide range of physical features, questions about these mysterious objects which the U.S. government now calls unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) have long perplexed experts.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we offer a status update from the case files of the UAP Sightings Reporting System (UAPSRS), which officially launched earlier this year. In our analysis, we'll examine trends we have observed in the current batch of reports, detailed in a series of odd first-hand witness reports involving sightings of spherical UAP, and massive triangular craft observed in our skies.

After the surrender of Japan that marked the end of the Second World War, American forces began to unravel clues to the existence of a disturbing secret program involving biological experiments carried out on human test subjects during the height of the conflict. Known as "Unit 731", the program has never been officially acknowledged, and although its existence is well established, the American government's secretive dealings with Japanese scientists led to an eastern counterpart to the controversial "Operation Paperclip" that ensued with Nazi scientists after the war.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at the tragic history of Unit 731's war crimes, as well as the American effort to cover up its cooperation with the secretive group after the war, and finally, its possible connection to one of the most controversial alleged UFO incidents of all time.

In postwar America, a shocking secret program was undertaken to bring former Nazi scientists to the United States, in order to maintain a strategic advantage against the Soviet Union. Known as Operation Paperclip, the program involved hundreds of German scientists who ultimately helped give birth to the American Space Program.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we take a historical deep dive into the controversial program, with an analysis that also looks at the various connections the program, its scientists, and the curious technologies involved may have had to UFO sightings during and after World War II. Is there an even deeper secret history to the U.S.'s post war collaborations with German scientists?

In the early 1940s, the world was engulfed in the Second World War. During the height of the battle, a secretive scientific endeavor began to take shape, The Manhattan Project, which would forever alter the course of history.
During this period, sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena would also begin to rise, with a concerning number occurring around sites related to the American atomic warfare complex. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at what historical research and recent studies have revealed about this period, as well as the potential intentions of the UAP operators, and finally, a series of strange secrets about UAP-related happenings in the American southwest at that time.

In 1996, radio host Art Bell received a mysterious package containing small metallic samples and an incredible story. According to the anonymous author of the enclosed letter, the material fragments had been collected during the recovery of an advanced aerospace vehicle that crashed near Roswell, New Mexico in the summer of 1947.
Recently, the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) conducted a series of tests on the legendary material, whose unique physiochemical properties were claimed to enable "inertial mass reduction" (i.e., levitation or antigravity functionality), potentially due to the bismuth and magnesium layers acting as a terahertz waveguide. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, look at AARO and Oak Ridge National Laboratory's findings, as well as a deep dive into the bizarre story of these alleged Roswell materials.

In the summer of 1995, following a congressional request, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) investigated documents related to the alleged crash of a "flying disc" near Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF), New Mexico in 1947. The result, which produced no "smoking gun" evidence of the purported crash, did reveal the mysterious destruction of records from the period, raising questions about who, and under what authority, the records might have been destroyed.
Now, new draft language has revealed a possible effort by present-day U.S. lawmakers to have the GAO conduct a similar audit of the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine the situation, and also look at the history of the GAO's involvement with U.S. government investigations into UAP.

As humanity continues its journey forward into the era of artificial intelligence, many leading futurists are looking ahead to what the following decades may hold for us. Some scientists are also questioning what the implications of the current progress with machine intelligence might be in terms of understanding mysteries like unidentified anomalous phenomena. Could AI help us solve the UAP mystery, or might some part of the phenomenon itself be related to AI, representing a kind of "UAP Singularity" hinted at by our own current technological progression?
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we explore how recent advancements with AI relate to the UAP question, including ideas such as whether alien life we may encounter would necessarily be biological, and how the concept of technological singularity could potentially give rise to superintelligences, time travel, and other futuristic concepts that could be related to the UAP mystery.
