The Micah Hanks Program

This week on The Gralien Report, a snake has given virgin birth, which has us thinking about claims of “immaculate conception” or, as it is scientifically known, parthenogenesis. Then, shifting our attention to the listeners, one couple who spent the weekend camping in the Rockies observed something truly strange in Colorado’s night skies; we put it out to our listeners in case any similar observations may have occurred elsewhere. Meanwhile on the other side of the United States, conference attendees in Point Pleasant, West Virginia were shocked to learn about a man who drowned nearby over the weekend. Shannon LeGro, host of Into the Fray Radio, was in attendance, and joins us to discuss the event. Then, the question everyone’s minds: what do Micah and Alex Jones have in common? It’s all in a confiscated jar of fruit jelly, apparently. And finally, we analyze a unique conversation between Neil deGrass Tyson and exiled government whistleblower Edward Snowden on encryption, and how it relates to the search for alien life. All this, and more, on The Gralien Report Podcast. Want More From The Gralien Report? Follow The Gralien Report on Twitter, and Like Us on Facebook.

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, Micah delves into discussion about an astronomical mystery, and one of the few that he himself has witnessed. What are these mysterious optical “bursts” that appear in the sky, and are there strange, sudden sources of radiation that cause these intermittent, flickering lights in the night sky? Furthermore, what can backyard astronomers armed only with their eyeballs do to help us determine more about their cause? In the second hour, we shift gears from astronomical mysteries and return to a recurring area of study on this program, which involves mysterious disappearances and people who vanish without a trace. We discuss trends that appear in a number of these cases, and whether such trends might indicate clues that investigators might employ in the future in order to prevent further loss and endangerment. The Gralien Report is produced on a weekly basis, and each episode is provided for free, and in completion. Each episode is a standalone program, and no portions of the broadcast require membership. However, for those who may enjoy getting access to additional weekly shows, as well as monthly specials dealing with haunting mysteries of space-time, and the ongoing search for mystery animals around the world, consider subscribing to Gralien X.

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, we examine the various interpretations of conspiracy theories in America, and the influence that conspiracist thought has on issues like mental illness, and “scapegoating” in Western culture. On the subject of scapegoats, we carry our discussion of conspiracy over to the unusual happenings and Fortean phenomenon as seen from a sociological perspective. We also explore the concept of “folk devils”, and how various circumstances in the history of the unexplained relate to the idea. Are the “Fortean Folk Devils a plausible cultural phenomenon? All this, and more, are discussed this week on The Gralien Report Podcast.  Want More From The Gralien Report? Follow The Gralien Report on Twitter, and Like Us on Facebook.

This week on The Gralien Report, the mystery involving MH370 deepens as we wonder why a month has passed without any official recognition of the flaperon discovered at Reunion Island as being, without question, a portion of the missing aircraft. Also, a family is being offered more than $5 million for land they own overlooking Area 51, amidst unverified claims of threats made against the family in question. We are joined by our favorite conspiracy whistleblower, “Victor”, who weighs in on the matter. Later in the program, what was the “mystery blimp” filmed over China that allegedly managed to shut down an airport nearby? We also take a look at the conspiracies attributed to the so-called “Black Knight Satellite”, and why Micah doesn’t think it exists at all (for which he offers a complete historical overview). Finally, should our Martian outposts be independent, or colonies of Earth? Science fiction bleeds over into reality as we examine all this, and much more, on The Gralien Report.

This week on The Gralien Report, after massive drops in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Micah gives us a breakdown about what’s happened thus far, before moving on to a secret “robotic” device discovered by a Chinese fisherman which authorities believe they have identified… but as what? Also, fears among technology advocates are growing that Google might be able to sway the 2016 election. Finally, new details about the origins of the controversial ‘Gospel of Jesus’ Wife’ have begun to emerge; but do they suggest it is real, or just a modern forgery?  In hour two, we shift gears as we are joined by Alejandro Rojas of OpenMinds, who gives us details about a Department of Homeland Security video which purportedly shows an unidentified object flying over Puerto Rico. Theories about the footage range from an object of technological origin (possibly a drone), to more prosaic explanations like a balloon, or as one recent analysis suggests, possibly just a pelican in flight. Alejandro provides us with further details on the Scientific Coalition for Ufology report (which can be viewed here), in addition to information about the origins of the film, how it was obtained, and what may have been filmed over Puerto Rico at that time.

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, as explosions rock parts of the Far East, conspiracies abound over worries about economic turmoil that may await us in the coming months, as well as possible U.S. involvement in the chemical explosion that occurred recently in Tianjin, China. Is any of it warranted? We’ll examine some of the commentary being provided about these themes in the media, along with other trending stories in the news. Then an hour two, Chris Rutkowski of the Canadian UFO Investigation project joins us to discuss reports of unexplained aerial phenomenon in Canada, as well as scientific investigation and collection of data about these reports. Chris isn’t your average UFO researcher… and our discussion with him presents an equally atypical narrative about unidentified aerial phenomenon over the last several decades.

On this week’s edition of The Gralien Report, astronauts will be consuming vegetables grown in space for the first time, and a newly discovered ancient archaeological site located off the coast of Sicily is giving us new perspectives on the ancient world. Then in hour two, we look at an interesting listener submission regarding the connection some are making between MH370 and Diego Garcia. Could the site of newly discovered plane debris really indicate that MH370 went down close to the military base, or are there facts that contradict there being any involvement with the island at all? Finally, we take time to examine the continuing debate regarding a classic piece of evidence related to a cryptozoological mystery, and whether skeptical arguments against it are relying on science, or merely biases. All this, and much more, are covered on this edition of The Gralien Report. Subscribe to the show on iTunes, and be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook. Want more from the Gralien Report?

This week on The Gralien Report, we examine the issues facing recent reports that the U.S. gets “failing grades” as it relates to human rights, as we similarly learn that a hitchhiking robot was vandalized. Are we really on a course for ultimate self-destruction, and what can we do to reassess ourselves to promote growth in more positive ways? On the heels of our existential discussion in hour one, in hour two we explore mysticism and the nature of the mind, our sense of self, and whether altered states of consciousness can expand our awareness of reality. How much of what we see is an illusion, or are such “mind expanding” experiences merely artifacts from within the mind themselves? Many great minds have broached such subjects, including the late Terrence McKenna and David Bohm. We’ll explore this, as well as how mysticism relates to other worlds, and much more here on the Gralien Report. Want More From The Gralien Report?
