Craft Retrievals of Non-Human Origin | MHP 06.05.23.
Is the United States in possession of anomalous craft of non-human origin? Has this information been illegally kept from Congress? These are among the questions raised by a bombshell story published in The Debrief by Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal who, in 2017, reframed the public debate about unidentified aerial phenomena in an article published in The New York Times. Now, a former intelligence official, David Charles Grusch, has come forward and filed a complaint with the Intelligence Community Inspector General alleging that knowledge of such retrievals of non-human craft has been illegally kept from Congress.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, Kean and Blumenthal join me to discuss the story, the investigative process behind it, and how it all came together. Then later in the program, co-founder of The Debrief and investigative reporter Tim McMillan joins us to discuss the vetting and research process behind the scenes prior to the article's publication.

The RB-47 Incident: Mystery at 2800 Megacycles | MHP 05.29.23.
In the early pre-dawn hours of July 17, 1957, an Air Force RB-47—an aircraft that served at the time as the backbone of Strategic Air Command’s bomber fleet—was in mid-flight on a composite mission that included gunnery exercises over the Texas Gulf Coast, when its crew had an encounter with the extraordinary.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine the RB-47 UFO incident, and how the electronic intelligence collected about this 1957 encounter may represent one of the most significant UAP-related events in modern history, potentially offering calibrated scientific data in support of the existence of the phenomenon.

On the Trail of the Skinwalker: Colm Kelleher Ph.D. on the AAWSAP Investigations | MHP 05.23.23.
Between 2008 and 2010, what is arguably one of the most atypical government investigations into the unexplained was carried out by employees with Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) out of Las Vegas, Nevada, as part of a Defense Intelligence Agency effort known as the Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Applications Program, or AAWSAP.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine the controversial DIA program with Colm Kelleher, Ph.D., a biochemist who between 1996-2004 led the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS) team on Skinwalker Ranch, and in 2008 became deputy administrator of BAASS where he led the day-to-day operations in executing the AAWSAP contract with Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). Kelleher shares his reflections about the program, what it discovered, and how it applies to the ongoing efforts by the Pentagon to evaluate unidentified anomalous phenomena.

Black Knight: Dark Satellites, Anomalous Echoes and Alien Probes
Since the 1950s, American astronomers and military officials have monitored the orbital space above planet Earth for signs of objects that may represent threats to the United States. However, even prior to the launch of Sputnik in October 1957, strange objects of unknown origin were being detected in orbit above Earth, giving rise to theories about the existence of an alien probe that could have quietly monitored our planet from a once-hidden position in orbit for thousands of years.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we dive into the strange history involving what is popularly known as "The Black Knight Satellite", and how a genuine scientific anomaly first detected in the 1920s helped give rise to theories about possible evidence of alien technologies in Earth's orbit.

Lost: Missing Persons, UFOs, and High Strangeness | MHP 05.08.23.
Few perennial mysteries intrigue us more than people who vanish. Throughout history, there have been countless examples of cases involving individuals who went missing under unusual circumstances, many of which were never found. But are there truly any cases that point to extraordinary phenomena that could have been related to people's disappearances?
In this installment of The Micah Hanks Program, following a review of recent UFO-related news, we take a critical look at several modern disappearances and the purported high strangeness that is often associated with such incidents, along with what U.S. crime statistics say. Finally, we address the question of whether unidentified aerial phenomena has actually ever been linked to cases where individuals have vanished under odd circumstances.

UAP: Knowns, Unknowns, and Uncertainties
On June 2, 1964, Charles Davis, a youth living near the town of Hobbs, New Mexico, had been playing outside in full view of his grandmother when a small, top-shaped black object swooped down from the sky and hovered over him, dumping a shower of flames onto the frightened child. Although he said he could feel no pain, Davis was left temporarily disfigured after the incident, and prefers today not to talk about UFOs.
What were the objects that young Charles Davis, and many others have had seemingly terrifying encounters with over the years? In this installment of The Micah Hanks Program, we look at potentially harmful cases involving UAP, and whether they should cause us to rethink many of our presumptions about the nature and possible intention of the phenomenon.

Customer Reviews
Ending always cuts out
Why does the podcast always abruptly end mid word/sentence at the end with about 5-12 minutes left?
That voice
Host has good knowledge and insight. However the cadence of his delivery is extremely distracting.Why is he using the radio voice from the 1950s? No need for theatrics you can speak in a regular one on one voice.
Micah Hanks
Awesome podcast. Keep up the good work. Look fwd to it every wk.
