The Secret Space Age: Black Projects, NASA, and 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?
Joining us this week on The Micah Hanks Program is researcher Olav Phillips, author of books like "The Secret Space Age" and others that discuss secret space programs, the concept of breakaway civilizations, Nazi UFOs, and much more.

Disintegration: The Cuban Jet UFO Incident
In March 1967, Spanish-speaking intercept operators with the U.S. Air Force Security Service at Homestead AFB south of Miami, Florida, supposedly overheard Cuban transmissions involving a pair of MiG-21 jet fighters that were scrambled to investigate a mysterious intruder, resembling a large, metallic sphere with no wings or any sign of a propulsion system.
What happened next has become a legend in modern UFO lore... and one researcher's attempts to confirm details about the so-called Cuban jet UFO incident even resulted in a visit from two men in black suits. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine the infamous case, and why the story led to a multi-agency investigation of the UFO researchers who became involved.

Flying Saucers in '47: 75 Years of the UFO Mystery
On June 24, 1947, pilot Kenneth Arnold was flying over Mount Rainier Washington when he observed a group of unusual flying objects that he could not identify. Sharing news of his sighting when he landed shortly afterward, Arnold's account soon made it into American newspapers, and even came to the attention of the United States government. In short, the era of the "Flying Saucer" had begun, giving rise to one of the most controverisal topics in recent history: unidentified flying objects.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Arnold's sighting, we are joined by author and historian Charles Lear, whose new book, The Flying Saucer Investigators, chronicles the history of the researchers who went in search of answers to this enduring mystery of the space age.

Unclear Intent: Analyzing UAP Behavior and Intention
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 devices, then what is their purpose, and what are the motives and intention of their operators? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we explore these questions and analyze what UAP behavior in some of history's most well-documented cases might convey about their possible intent.

Path of the Skinwalker: Mysteries of the Uintah Basin
The Uintah Basin is one of Utah's most diversely scenic regions. Nestled in the northeastern corner of the state, it is also the location of one of the most infamous alleged hotspots for UFO sightings, cattle mutilations, and other unexplained phenomena in the world: Skinwalker Ranch.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at the history of the Uintah Basin dating back to prehistoric times, and survey the myth and mystery that support one of the modern hubs for the strange and unsettling. Why do locations like Skinwalker Ranch seem to be an "attractor" for the UFO mystery, and what can be learned from studying them there?

High Strangeness: UFOs Over the Keystone State
Since the late 1940s, sightings of unidentified flying objects have made headlines across America and other parts of the world. While a seemingly global phenomenon, the collection of data on the UFO subject has benefited greatly from serious investigators who have narrowed the focus of their efforts to specific regions or areas of study.
Pennsylvania's Stan Gordon is perhaps one of the best-known examples of the regional UFO researcher extraordinaire. He has chronicled sightings of UFOs, and occasional cases involving "high strangeness" in his home state for more than six decades, and joins us this week to discuss his work on The Micah Hanks Program.

If we’re lucky he’ll be abducted and probed. I would say sterilize him but I don’t believe that’s an issue.
