The Micah Hanks Program

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, on the heels of Micah’s 33rd birthday celebration, we launch into this week’s show with a discussion of how animals relate to their owners, including Dr. Rupert Sheldrake’s famous study (disputed by some) which involved animals apparently being aware of their owners pending arrival before they actually appear at home. Then, Micah presents a discussion about science and the classification systems used for study of unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP) over the last several decades, which recently prompted him to revise and update these criteria, resulting in a new proposed classification system for observations of unconventional aerial objects. However, in order to better implement such studies, Micah also addresses the institution of a filtration system that accounts for a range of different objects and natural phenomena which are often mistaken for UFOs or UAP. The entire system Micah discusses here was recently discussed at his website, in an article called Toward a Better UFOlogy: Applying Science to the Study of UAP. Could a system like this be useful in the further study of unidentified aerial phenomena in the coming years, particularly with the help of emergent, more affordable, accessible and portable technologies? Then in the second hour of the show, Micah is joined by Arthur W. Wiggins, co-author of the new book The Human Side of Science: Edison and Tesla, Watson and Crick, and Other Personal Stories behind Science’s Big Ideas with Charles M. Wynn. Wiggins holds the title of Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Physics, Oakland Community College in Michigan, and during our discussion we talk about the life and work of Nikola Tesla, as well as great minds like Einstein, and many others. Behind every scientific discovery is a human mind, and a very enriching story, as Wiggins helps us see with his recent written work on the subject.  Join us and become a member of Gralien X for more great podcasts and bonus monthly specials.

It’s off to the Ozarks this week on The Gralien Report Podcast. Micah continues his journeys as he heads up to Eureka Springs, where along with Cam and Kyle of Expanded Perspectives, he attended the the 29th annual Ozark Mountain UFO Conference. Among the speakers and attendees were Eric von Daniken, as well as Richard Dolan, Nick Pope, Chase Kloetzke, Jim Mars, and a number of other researchers in the field. We delve into the sorts of subjects they were addressing, as well as a few interesting “behind the scenes” asides that have occurred as the adventure ensues. Items in the news include discussion of a new process which some think can temporarily break-down and allow passage through the blood-brain barrier; but what could this have to do with mystical experiences, and even alien abduction? We also examine reports from the readers that relate unusual stories of strange occurrences, mysterious sounds, and illuminative phenomenon seen in various locales. Then in hour two, on our way back from the Ozarks we feature a very special “Live From the Highway” segment with Micah, again joined by the Expanded Perspectives boys, as they report live from the road. On their way through Texas and Oklahoma, the crew makes a quick stop by North Boggy Creek, home of the famous monster featured in films like The Legend of Boggy Creek. Recapping our meeting with UFO researcher David Marler while in Eureka Springs, we examine stories of strange triangle-shaped aircraft, and what role they may play in the broader modern mystery of UFOs.

On this special edition of The Gralien Report Podcast, Micah is broadcasting live from Weatherford, Texas, in the famous “Skelekin Studios”, home of the Expanded Perspectives podcast. We kick things off discussing International Dark Sky Week, which coincides with a number of recent news items that involve the ongoing search for extraterrestrial life. While one group of SETI researchers are now scanning the skies for Red Dwarf stars which may nonetheless yield promise for life, others are discussing the use of lasers to actually hide Earth from potential discovery by the very sorts of aliens we may hope to find. Could it be that some alien civilizations may already be doing something similar? Finally, Professor Antonio Paris is crowdsourcing an effort to recreate the famous “Wow” signal. Indeed, the source may have been extraterrestrial… but what Paris proposes isn’t what you think. Then in hour two, Micah and co-host Cameron Hale shift gears to discuss an update from the girlfriend of the missing hiker Kenny Veach, who had vanished while searching for a mysterious “M-shaped cave” some time ago. Is there new evidence that suggests the fate of Veach? Finally, Micah recounts his recent visit to the Dallas Motorcade, and a brief analysis of the Kennedy assassination, and its effect on American culture.

This week on The Gralien Report, with news of volcanoes erupting and earthquakes striking the western United States, leading seismologists are warning that other parts of the country may soon be affected by earthquakes, where traditionally none have occurred. The reasons, however, aren’t anything natural… will the Midwest become the latest area at risk or manmade tremors? In other news, the so called “Mystery Boom” phenomenon has hit close to home… or at least close to the Gralien Bunker! But why did the FBI become involved in this unusual report of strange sounds in the Southeast? He explains why, in addition to what its possible sources may have been. Finally, in the second hour, we begin to look at Hillary Clinton’s recent statements on UFOs, or as she said during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night program, “UAP”. What is the significance of this, and how does it relate to the presidential history of the United States? Micah takes us back in time to the very earliest mentions of the subject by U.S. Presidents, showcasing many of the notable instances throughout the years where our leaders have addressed the subject, both seriously, and under more amusing circumstances. What it reveals is a much broader interest in the subject that has been maintained in presidential circles since the end of the Second World War.

This week on The Gralien Report, another week in the weird ensues as we launch into a discussion about Heinrich Himmler’s secret library on witchcraft, and what this had to do with secret British Naval intelligence operations carried out during the Second World War. We also take a look at the science behind asteroids and comets, in addition to spending a bit of time on the subject of strange sleep patterns, and a secret Chinese space station in Patagonia that has many intelligence experts raising their eyebrows. And speaking of secretive affairs, we also have a special update about one of the World’s Most Secret Societies, and it’s exciting new daily news service (learn more here). Getting around to the subject of travel and adventure, our friend Mike Migliore joins us to discuss the journey he and Micah will be making together, along with David Hatcher Childress and Jason Martell, to the landscapes of ancient Mayan ruins for the Ancient Mysteries Cruise, which will take place this September 2016. For more information on this ancient mysteries conference at sea, visit the official website for the cruise here. Then rounding out the show’s second hour, we enter a discussion that deals with the “darker” side of history and politics, with a discussion of secret societies, their origins and role in ancient traditions, and their influence in the world today. Are secretive orders of elites actually manipulating world affairs from behind the scenes in the modern era? There may be more truth to this than many today would believe, in addition to a veritable “secret history of the Western World” in which such clandestine organizations have traditionally played a pivotal role.

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, after an opening segment remembering Micah’s late grandfather, as well as a few odd occurrences from the Hanks family history books, we turn our attention to something strange Micah recently heard on The Alex Jones Radio Show. Has the famous conspiracy talk host been reading books by Richard Dolan? Then we celebrate what is, arguably, one of the nerdiest holidays we’ve ever come across: “Pi Day”, in celebration of the date of March 14th (a date which bears the same characters as the famous pi sequence). More specifically, 2016 is known as “rounded pi” day, which particularly has certain providers of specialty pizzas excited… no, seriously. Also, we examine an odd update about an unidentified man, whose body was discovered on an English moor just last December. New evidence has surfaced that indicates this story is even stranger than it already seemed… Finally, Brian Bresler, musician and cohost of the Beyond the Strange program, joins us to discuss recent controversy that has erupted surrounding statements made by Jesse Hughes, frontman of the Eagles of Death Metal, following their performance at France’s Bataclan theatre on the night of the 2015 Paris Terrorist attacks. Many feel that Hughes has suggested that things he and other band members noticed that night indicated foreknowledge of the attack, with some going so far as to assert that it had been an “inside job” or “false flag.” Hughes has recanted his statements, but apart from this latest affair, there are still those who have gone so far as to assert that Hughes and Co. were themselves involved with the tragedy in some bizarre way. We break down the various ridiculous assertions made by conspiracy theorists, before turning our attention to the subject of A.I. that will soon allow us to communicate with the Internet… and for it to “talk back”. As is often asked, will this be a good thing, or maybe something that has dangerous potentials? Join us and become a member of Gralien X for more great podcasts and bonus monthly specials.

This week on The Gralien Report, a mysterious new aircraft has been spotted on it’s way to Hobbs… Hobbs New Mexico, that is. What about this “mystery” plane has the Gralien Gang in stitches? We’ll examine that, before diving into the ongoing saga of John Podesta, and his continuing efforts to take UFO disclosure right up to the executive office. If Clinton is elected, will we learn anything new about UFOs? If history is any indication of success that other Presidents have had, we may have a bit longer to wait. Then again, there are the remaining questions about whether UFO information is indeed being withheld, as well as whether it meets the “extraterrestrial” expectations that many hold about UFO disclosure. The truth, whatever exists behind the scenes, may be far more different than most would imagine. Then in hour two, Jason Pentrail joins us to discuss ancient sea “monsters” like the megalodon. With a background in environmental science and cultural studies, Jason is an expert on fossil creatures and marine biology of the ancient world. He is a native of Charleston, South Carolina, and his interest in creatures of the ancient oceans has helped inspire interest in modern Fortean and cryptozoological subjects just as well, all of which we discuss with him this week on the podcast.

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, we celebrate the birthdays of all the “Leap Year Babies” in the audience, who only get to share such a date together every four years, thanks to the six or so spare hours that are added annually in Earth’s orbit around the sun. Then turning our attention to a question that many Gralien listeners have been asking: what is the enigma of Donald Trump?  On to bigger and better questions, is the universe in which we live really more like what we see in the popular “Matrix” films? We take a look at how science is edging closer an closer to viewing such themes as a reality, rather than merely science fiction and entertainment. Also, what does this have to do with the ongoing discussion about the “war” between science and technology? Maybe it’s time we take the Red Pill… Then in hour two, Minneapolis-based investigative journalist Sam Roberts recently reached out with a response he received to an FOIA request he filed late in 2015, which dealt in part with the famous Phoenix Lights incident of 1997. Specifically, Roberts decided to seek further information about an official explanation for the incident that was issued by the U.S. Air Force shortly afterward; the response he was given may surprise you. Despite the passing of nearly two decades, is there still more we might learn from studying cases like these?
