Triangle UAP: The Pentagon's 'PURSUE' Release 05 | MHP 08.11.26.
Aug 11, 2026 · 60 min
It began on a summer night in 2011, when someone in the vehicle noticed three odd lights overhead. Curious, one of the occupants stepped out of the vehicle and looked up. Now, according to a witness interview released years later by the U.S. Department of War, what appeared above them was not simply three lights, but a massive, dark, triangular object moving silently across the night sky. This case, and several others involving mysterious triangle UAPs in our skies, are among those included in t…
Anatomy of an Enigma: Black Projects, Hidden Aircraft, and UFO Encounters | MHP 08.04.26.
Aug 5, 2026 · 60 min
Since the dawn of the new millennium, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) have gradually evolved from a fringe subject into a legitimate national security issue. Key developments that include the 2000 Illinois police triangle sighting, reporting on classified "black" military programs and the Pentagon's "shadow military," and other events illustrate how intelligence agencies and defense analysts increasingly viewed unexplained aerial reports not as curiosities, but as potential intelligence prob…

Jul 29, 2026 · 1 hr
Last week, the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) released its Fiscal Year 2025 Consolidated Annual Report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, revealing its latest findings involving unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). Among its key findings, AARO's report conveys that the Office continues to collect data on hundreds of objects it cannot yet identify and states that some sightings over sensitive military facilities could represent an "unmitigated threat vector" to U.S. n…

On November 14, 2004, the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group Eleven steamed through the clear waters roughly eighty nautical miles west of San Diego beneath cloudless California skies. Unbeknownst to many on board, for nearly a week, operators deep inside the strike group's Combat Information Center aboard the USS Princeton had been watching something they could not explain. Initially dismissed as equipment anomalies, the contacts refused to disappear, returning repeatedly and exhibiting flight cha…

Jul 14, 2026 · 60 min
The Pentagon has released its fourth tranche of videos and documents related to UAP under its Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE) initiative, with the latest batch of materials now available for viewing at the U.S. Department of War's website. However, the latest revelations only add to a growing number of indistinct videos and other materials that raise more questions than they provide answers to. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we delve into what the l…
Sightings IV: Case Files from the UAP Sightings Reporting System | MHP 07.07.26.
Jul 7, 2026 · 1 hr 2 min
Sightings of unusual aerial objects are occurring in the airspace above countries worldwide.

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we provide an update on some of the m…
UAP Materials: 'Alien' Wreckage, or Earthly Oddities? | MHP 06.30.26.
Jun 30, 2026 · 1 hr 2 min
For many decades, UFO researchers have obtained unusual samples alleged to be UAP materials recovered from crash events or other instances where physical traces of these anomalous aerial objects were present. In nearly every case where scientific analysis was undertaken, these unusual samples also revealed signatures that suggest Earthly origins. But should this necessarily mean they aren't worthy of further interest by UAP researchers? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine a "caution…

Disclosure Day: Revealing the Truth About Non-Human Intelligence | MHP 06.09.26.
Jun 9, 2026 · 1 hr
Congressional hearings, whistleblower allegations, and the release of new government records in recent weeks have continued to fuel public questions of whether long-hidden information about UFOs may finally be coming to light. And part of that fascination also extends to Hollywood, with the forthcoming release of Steven Spielberg's film Disclosure Day, which early reviews have called one of the Close Encounters of the Third Kind director's best films in decades. This week on The Micah Hanks Prog…
Top Secret UMBRA: The National Security Agency's UAP Files | MHP 06.02.26.
Jun 3, 2026 · 1 hr 2 min
In the 1980s, a small group of citizen FOIA activists went up against the United States Intelligence Community in an effort to secure the release of secret UFO files. That effort, led by the Citizens Against UFO Secrecy (CAUS), was largely successful, although a wealth of secret files related to UAP were withheld by the NSA. However, now there has been a break in the decades-old case, with an announcement by the Disclosure Foundation regarding the release of hundreds of pages of previously class…

Among the most intriguing cases emerging from the Pentagon's newly launched PURSUE transparency initiative is a 2023 incident involving infrared footage captured by a U.S. military platform operating near the surface of the Mediterranean Sea. The case, which reportedly involved an object making abrupt "90-degree turns" at roughly 80 miles per hour, has sparked renewed debate about what military sensor systems are actually detecting—and how much the public is truly being shown. This week on The M…
The Presidential Unsealing & Reporting System for UAP Encounters | MHP 05.11.26.
May 12, 2026 · 1 hr
Recently, the Department of War's newly launched Presidential Unsealing & Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE) initiative has begun releasing long-classified UAP files as part of what officials describe as a historic transparency effort. However, early reactions suggest that the disclosures may raise more questions than answers.

In 1973, a bizarre encounter allegedly unfolded on the Isle of Wight, involving two children who claimed to meet an odd, clown-like humanoid figure near Sandown, England. Speaking in odd phrases and appearing to inhabit a strange, makeshift dwelling, the being called itself "All Colors Sam," and despite the obscure origins of the tale, it would eventually gain a cult following within the annals of UFO and high-strangeness lore, remembered today as the story of Sam "The Sandown Clown." Joining us…

Mar 23, 2026 · 1 hr 2 min
One of the greatest controversies in American archaeology involves the debate over when the first people arrived in the New World, and long at the center of the debate has been the South American site of Monte Verde, where research that began decades ago produced evidence of a human presence there as early as 14,500 years ago. While marking the beginning of a major paradigm shift in the archaeological world, the site has remained at the heart of the debate over when the first Americans arrived,…

On an April afternoon in 1964, a police officer's observation of an unusual, landed aircraft in New Mexico would become one of ufology's most baffling cold cases. Decades later, two women's unnerving encounter with a strange aircraft over a Texas highway would leave them suffering from health effects that led them to believe they had witnessed a U.S. government test gone awry. But could these two famous UFO cases have more in common than most would ever think? This week on The Micah Hanks Progra…
