Cold-Flyer: The DHS 'Rubber Duck' UAP: An Analysis | MHP 01.31.23.
1/31/2023
On November 23, 2019, a FLIR camera system onboard an RC-26B aircraft with the Air National Guard managed to film an unconventional flying object as it passed over Arizona. Displaying no visible means of propulsion or aerodynamic lift, the odd footage has been touted as one of several examples of Department of Homeland Security videos depicting unidentified aerial phenomena.
This week, joining us to discuss his scientific analysis of what has since been dubbed the "Rubber Duck UAP" is Peter...

Disinformation Nation: Truth, Lies, and Flying Saucers |MHP 01.10.23.
1/10/2023
For decades, rumors of an alleged film depicting the landing of a flying saucer at Holloman Air Force Base have persisted, following the depiction of a story based on the alleged incident in a 1970s documentary, UFOs: Past, Present, and Future, and in a book of the same title by Robert Emenegger. The story emerged after Emenegger was purportedly told he would be given the footage for his documentary, a promise his sources did not keep.
Over the years, several similar instances of this...

Deception: UAP and the Military: Ours or Theirs? MHP 01.03.23.
1/4/2023
In a recent series of Wall Street Journal opinion editorials, columnist Holman Jenkins Jr. has argued that military UAP encounters might be the result of a "secret military laser program", which he suggested might have been tested on active-duty pilots and that the Pentagon “may know exactly what [UAP] are.” His criticisms of the topic, and of military personnel who have had such encounters, recently evoked a response from former Navy fighter pilot Ryan Graves, who wrote in a rebuttal...

Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: The Pentagon's 'X-Files' | MHP 12.27.22.
12/27/2022
As 2022 draws to a close, some have argued that the last twelve months were a "slow year" for developments regarding UFOs, or what the Department of Defense now even more broadly calls "unidentified anomalous phenomena." However, the reality is that this couldn't be further from the truth: 2022 may eventually be seen as a landmark year in terms of developments related to the Pentagon's ongoing investigations, as recent events make clear.
This week we look at the DOD's real-life "X-Files"...

12/20/2022
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena have received renewed attention in recent years, following the U.S. government's focus on resolving incidents with anomalous phenomena occurring in air, undersea, and space domains. However, the underlying source of these unusual objects remains undetermined. While one popular theory holds that they could represent extraterrestrial technologies, another interpretation of the phenomenon involves the potential that time travel could account for the presence of...

Secrets of the Skies: Area 51 Black Jets & Skunk Works UFOs | MHP 12.12.22.
12/13/2022
Since the Cold War era, the United States has worked to build the world's most advanced stealth aircraft, which produced the famous U2 spyplane, the SR-71, the B2 bomber, and most recently, the Air Force's impressive B-21 Raider, the world's first sixth-generation-aircraft. However, for decades there have been rumors about other aircraft that have been designed at Lockheed's legendary Skunk Works facility.
Did programs like the mysterious and long-rumored "Aurora" actually exist? And could...

Terror of the Men in Black: Fear, Folklore, & Flying Saucers | MHP 11.28.22.
11/29/2022
Since the late 1940s, people who have claimed to be UFO witnesses have occasionally come forward with strange stories of visits from "men in black," giving rise to an odd and unsettling subfield in modern studies of the phenomenon. However, historical researchers point out that the idea of visits from mysterious, dark-suited individuals didn't begin with the modern UFO era, and in fact, may date back centuries.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at the folklore surrounding the...

The Pascagoula UAP Encounter | MHP 11.22.22.
11/23/2022
It was an otherwise ordinary evening for coworkers Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker were fishing at an abandoned shipyard along Mississippi's Pascagoula River, when Hickson was first to notice an odd, bluish light in the distance. Over the next few minutes, the two fishermen's lives would be forever changed... and one of the greatest controversies in UFO history would begin to unfold.
In this installment of The Micah Hanks Program, we examine the October 11, 1973, UAP incident at...

Still Living? The Relict Hominoid Enigma | MHP 11.14.22.
11/15/2022
In 1917, a curious discovery was made within an ancient cave on the island of Malta: several unusual teeth that did not appear to belong to modern humans. However, this could only mean that our ancient cousins, the Neanderthals, had been there much earlier than it was previously believed any type of humans had ever arrived in Malta. Could this mean our current understanding of the island's history is wrong?
Anthropologists have long recognized that the last Neanderthals likely disappeared...

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. What would transpire over the course of the next several hours would change their lives forever.

The Magonia Effect: In Search of Ancient Aerial Mysteries | MHP 10.03.22.
10/4/2022
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...

The Socorro Incident: Project Blue Book's Best Case | MHP 09.27.22.
9/28/2022
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.

Incident at Fort Monmouth: Radar UFOs in the Grudge Era | MHP 09.20.22.
9/20/2022
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...
