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.  The story doesn't end here... become an X Subscriber and get access to even more weekly content and monthly specials.

On the Trail of the Skinwalker: Colm Kelleher Ph.D. on the AAWSAP Investigations | MHP 05.23.23.

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.  The story doesn't end here... become an X Subscriber and get access to even more weekly content and monthly specials.

Black Knight: Dark Satellites, Anomalous Echoes and Alien Probes | MHP 05.15.23.

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.

Lost: Missing Persons, UFOs, and High Strangeness | MHP 05.08.23.

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.

UAP: Knowns, Unknowns, and Uncertainties | MHP 05.01.23.

Since 2017, reports of unusual encounters U.S. military personnel have had with anomalous aerial phenomena have seen renewed debate among the military, the media, and the academic community. Meanwhile, an undercurrent of cases involving anomalous health incidents has also gradually come to the attention of the intelligence community; but could there be a relationship between the two, and if so, what is it?  This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we are joined by Garry Nolan, a Stanford University professor of pathology who discusses his groundbreaking research into anomalous health incidents, and their possible relationship to UAP, as well as the analysis of materials purportedly recovered from anomalous aerial vehicles.

The Senate Hearings on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena | MHP 04.19.23.

In 1957, a wealthy Texas philanthropist and oil tycoon named Tom Slick Jr. was making headlines across the nation. Slick, who had already poured much of his family fortune into the establishment of foundations aimed at exploring various areas of the sciences, was now getting international attention for his plans to launch an expedition in search of a modern mystery: the famous Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas. However, questions have lingered over whether there could have been more to the purpose of Slick's Yeti-hunting adventure than the public had known... and this week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at Slick's possible connections to the U.S. intelligence community, and whether the CIA had been involved in espionage with help from the man who, at the time, had become America's most-famous monster hunter.  The story doesn't end here... become an X Subscriber and get access to even more weekly content and monthly specials.

The Secret Life of Tom Slick: The CIA and the Search for the Yeti | MHP 04.11.23.

In the heart of the Nevada desert is one of the most legendary and talked about locations in the United States... despite the fact that, until a decade ago, it "officially" didn't exist. However, since the late 1980s, the secret Air Force installation known as Area 51 has remained almost synonymous with UFOs, thanks in large part to Bob Lazar, a man who in addition to claiming to have worked there, also said he saw recovered alien craft at the base. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we go in pursuit of the modern legends that have become associated with Area 51, how it became a mainstay of American conspiracy theories, and look at the history--as well as the speculations--involving America's best-known secret base.  The story doesn't end here... become an X Subscriber and get access to even more weekly content and monthly specials.

Area 51 Uncensored: Tales From America's Best-Known Secret Base | MHP 03.05.23.

By the early years of the new millennium, experts were already sounding alarms about the potential threat that machine intelligence might eventually pose to humanity. As of 2023, following the arrival of AI tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard—enhanced performance chatbots that many view as little more than party tricks—the race to create genuinely intelligent machines seems to be fully underway... but where will it go from here, and what are the dangers that could result from the creation of a genuine machine superintelligence? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at several potential future scenarios involving the creation of an A.I. superintelligence, how machines could one day rise against humanity, and what that could mean for humankind in the decades ahead.

Superintelligence: An A.I. Takeover Scenario | MHP 03.27.23.

Throughout the mid-1970s, several incidents occurred throughout the United States involving law enforcement encounters with UAP. Involving multiple witnesses to the aerial phenomena in question, some of the incidents also resulted in real-time recordings of police dispatch calls featuring descriptions of the objects police officers sighted. This week, we examine several of these incidents, and examine the broader significance of law enforcement encounters with UAP, as well as what such cases may convey about the phenomenon on The Micah Hanks Program.  This episode is sponsored by AG1 by Athletic Greens.

Law Enforcement Encounters with UAP | MHP 03.21.23

In October 2022, dozens of cattle were found dead under mysterious circumstances on U.S. Forest Service property along Colorado's Western Slope. Although initially believed to have involved wolf depredation, as officials closed the investigation earlier this year, there was no evidence to support the presence of any kind of predator, and the cause of the strange deaths remains unknown.  This week, in the aftermath of the mysterious spate of cattle deaths that baffled ranchers in Colorado last year, we present the results of an investigation based on official documents and interviews with investigators who worked to track down an unknown, "invisible" livestock killer on this week's episode of The Micah Hanks Program.

The Hunt for an Invisible Killer: Colorado's Mystery Cattle Deaths | MHP 03.14.23.

In a recent bombshell scientific paper, Harvard astronomer and head of the Galileo Project Avi Loeb joined forces with Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, the director of the DoD's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office to make the argument for "physical constraints" they say can be applied to unidentified aerial phenomena.  "Claims of objects exceeding the transonic to supersonic range," the authors argue in the paper, should be studied based on the "known physics of ionization, radar reflectivity, temperature, sonic booms, and fireballs." Avi Loeb joins us to discuss this unique paper, as well as the equally novel collaboration that produced it, and how it could provide significant benefits to future studies involving UAP, on this week's episode of The Micah Hanks Program.

Physics of the Phenomenon: A New Scientific Perspective on Aerial Mysteries | MHP 03.06.23.

Recent incidents involving objects the Pentagon has, to date, refused to identify have renewed debate over excessive secrecy in the United States, especially as it relates to the question of unidentified aerial phenomena. If the government won't release imagery it has of suspected balloons shot down over North America, then what does this say about any truly anomalous imagery in its possession?  Joining us to discuss this is reporter Tim McMillan, who weighs in on the subject of excessive secrecy with relation to the ongoing UAP debate in this installment of The Micah Hanks Program.   This episode is sponsored by AG1 by Athletic Greens.

Secrecy: Classification of the UAP Mystery | MHP 02.28.23.

Last week, as controversy following the recent downing of unidentified objects over North America continued, President Joe Biden finally spoke out on the matter, defending his administration's decision to shoot down three objects that, to this date, still officially remain unidentified.  The President's remarks offered a rare glimpse at Biden's position on UAP, or what he characterized as "unidentified aerial objects," and his role in directing the intelligence community to learn what they can about them. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we analyze the President's statements, the leading explanations for what the objects were, and why the Pentagon remains silent on recent images that have surfaced online purporting to depict an anomalous object over Mosul, Iraq.  The story doesn't end here... become an X Subscriber and get access to even more weekly content and monthly specials.

Unidentified Aerial Objects: A Presidential Dilemma | MHP 02.20.23.

On Friday, February 10, 2023, a dramatic series of events began to unfold involving the shoot-down of what the Pentagon characterized as an "object" over northeastern Alaska. The White House was quick to comment on the incident, and within just hours, a second object was taken down over Canada, followed by a third object over Lake Huron on Sunday. As of Tuesday, none of the objects have been identified, leaving the American public with more questions than answers.  This week on The Micah Hanks Program, in addition to providing updates on the quickly developing situation involving the shoot-down of several unidentified flying objects over North America, we are also joined by investigative journalist Leslie Kean, who discusses recent UAP-related events, and the government and media's role in the slow release of new information about it.  This episode is sponsored by AG1 by Athletic Greens.
