In May 2022, Representative Tim Burchett told reporters that he had been told about wreckage from UFOs that had allegedly been recovered in the past by the U.S. military. According to Burchett, he said that “multiple sources” had informed him of this fact, though he provided no additional details. From the rumored crash of a UFO at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, to modern efforts involving the analysis of alleged materials of unearthly origin, claims of material recovered from UAP encounters have

It began a routine patrol for Deputy Sheriff Dale Spaur in the early morning hours of April 17, 1966, as he and his partner, Mounted Officer Barney Neff, stopped to investigate a parked vehicle along a roadway. Behind them, Spaur noticed a bright light rising from behind the trees, and heading silently in their direction.

2022/10/04

For centuries, folk tales from various parts of the world have told tales of "visitors" that hailed from distant regions of the sky. Believed by some ancient scholars to represent elementals, these beings were often said to be composed of air, and traveled in ships that sailed through the skies whose home ports existed in a far off place called "Magonia." Although most accounts of these sort fall squarely into the category of myth and legend, is it possible that some describe aerial phenomena

Friday, April 24, 1964. Lonnie Zamora, a police officer in Socorro, New Mexico, was chasing a speeding motorist when he heard a loud roaring noise, accompanied by what he described as a peculiar flame in the sky. As he watched the object descend, the officer veered off the highway onto a gravel road, and went to investigate. What happened next resulted in one of the most widely-discussed UAP incidents of all time. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we retrace the footsteps of Project Blue Book

In September 1951, a radar facility along the New Jersey coast began to detect fast moving, unidentified aircraft traveling at high altitudes. Less than a half hour later, a pair of military aircraft flying nearby observed an odd, disc-shaped object which, after they began chasing it, quickly evaded them and flew out to sea. The incident at Fort Monmouth was dismissed by the U.S. Air Force's Project Grudge, the immediate predecessor to Project Blue Book, as having been due to operator error on

Within the broader range of UAP reports that have been collected over the last several decades are the so-called “flying triangle UFOs”, objects which are typically described as large, silent, slow-moving triangular objects which are dark enough in color to nearly blend in against the night sky, save only for lighted portions which are often reported at the corners, as well as the center of the base of the objects. This week, we dive into the history of sightings involving black triangle UFOs,

Jacques Vallee: Anatomy of a Phenomenon | MHP 09.07.22.

2022/09/07

Unidentified aerial phenomena is a topic that has long perplexed scientists around the world, as well as militaries of various countries, and hosts of others who have had personal experiences with strange things in our skies. But what if the phenomenon in question were actually far more complex and strange than even the most well-informed experts who have studied it could imagine? What, precisely, is the anatomy of the phenomenon that we call UAP? Jacques Vallee is a scientist, author, and

Throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s, a rash of unsettling incidents involving UAP at nuclear weapons sites were logged throughout the American northern tier states. These included events that occurred the morning of March 24, 1967, when ten intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) went offline at an underground launch control facility at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana. This week, we examine the Malmstrom Air Force Base UAP incident, along with similar incidents that occurred at Minot

For centuries, stories have been shared about encounters with strange, humanlike "monsters" in the remote regions of the Pacific Northwest and other rugged areas of North America. Popularly known as "Sasquatch" or "Bigfoot", many relegate the existence of such creatures to the realm of fantasy, and consider any alleged encounters to be misperceptions or hoaxes. What is less often discussed regarding Sasquatch is that a striking number of individuals working with United States Federal Government

On December 9, 1965, residents in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and several other states, as well as Canada, observed a strange ball of fire streaking through the afternoon sky.

For decades, humans have sent probes into space to explore distant planets, and to go in search of evidence of things like life on other worlds. If humans engage in such activities, why wouldn't aliens do the same? Is it possible that Earth has ever been surveilled by extraterrestrial technologies, and that searches for non-terrestrial artifacts could reveal their presence close to Earth?

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine sightings of mysterious transient lunar phenomena (TLP) observed in locations like the Aristarchus crater, as well as a

As the search for extraterrestrial intelligence from beyond Earth continues, many scientists are now wondering whether the eventual discovery of ET may come in the form of a technology--perhaps even artificial intelligence--that was created by aliens, rather than the actual biological lifeforms themselves. Joining us this week to discuss these possibilities is Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI institute. We dive into the potential existence of alien A.I, as well as NASA's forthcoming UAP

Since the dawn of the Space Age, there have been questions about the development of experimental technologies, and whether some aerospace innovations may have been left out of the history books. Could some black program developments account for modern accounts of unidentified aerial phenomena, or are these craft really otherworldly in origin?

Widespread interest in unidentified aerial phenomena, as well as their possible nature and origins, has surged since 2017. World governments, scientists, and civilian organizations have all begun to weigh in on the matter, with the latest effort being announced by NASA, which plans to conduct its own study of the phenomena beginning in late 2022. However, with the question over UAP and their origins also comes the question of intent: if some of these UAP are intelligently-controlled, technological
