Summary
In 1996, a NASA space shuttle mission meant to study microgravity’s effects on electromagnetism may have recorded one of the most puzzling and controversial encounters ever filmed in Earth orbit—dozens, and eventually hundreds, of luminous, pulsating objects seemingly reacting to high-voltage electromagnetic fields in space. What were the strange objects, and could they be related to mysterious plasmas that are believed to manifest in Earth’s atmosphere, which are sometimes responsible for UAP sightings?
From bizarre luminous manifestations in our skies, to extreme weather events and meteorological oddities, this week on The Micah Hanks Program we explore cases involving anomalous atmospheric phenomena and climatic curiosities, which include eerie glowing plasmas and other unusual manifestations, to an ancient mystery involving abrupt temperature reversals that continue to baffle scientists.
Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting? Please consider reporting your sighting to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, a public resource for information about sightings of aerial phenomena.

| 0:11.7 | by our own or foreign governments the american people are becoming most interested and in many |
| 0:16.7 | instances very alarmed by the UFO stories so why do you suppose that all of this has been kept |
| 0:22.2 | from the world? Exploring our past, our future, and the mysteries of our universe. Where do they come from? |
| 0:28.6 | Why can't you explain it? Everybody in utology is screaming for disclosure. The future is now. |
| 0:34.5 | This is Micahanks. From the high mountains of Appalachia in a bunker below ground. Welcome |
| 0:40.7 | one and all. It is the Micahanks program. Glad as always to be getting behind the microphone |
| 0:44.7 | and going in pursuit of the anomalous in our existence as we do every week. Listen on demand via |
| 0:50.4 | podcasting apps all throughout space and time and courtesy of the fine folks at the |
| 0:55.6 | UnX Radio Network, keeping us on the airwaves, and of course, as always, I'm trying to keep |
| 1:00.2 | myself cool amid this incredible summer heat. Somehow I'm still drinking hot coffee here in my studio |
| 1:07.2 | also. But again, keeping things relatively cool inside and also always energy |
| 1:13.5 | efficient is part of my objective. I've been thinking so much about science lately in the sense |
| 1:19.0 | that with all the issues that we are facing in the world right now, I mean everything from the |
| 1:24.5 | obvious climate questions to questions about biotechnology, questions about artificial intelligence, questions about the ecosystem and the environment, questions about space, and of course, always the future of humankind. |
| 1:38.9 | I've got so much on my mind right now, and again, it seems like now is the time to be thinking about things |
| 1:44.7 | that are going to be changing the future as we know it. It's times like this. In fact, I guess I'm |
| 1:50.5 | glad I'm a science reporter because it keeps me in a position where I have to every single day |
| 1:55.5 | read all the latest news in physics and space, biology, the environment, artificial intelligence, |
| 2:02.4 | technology, nuclear energy, and other kinds of energy, and the way that these things are |
| 2:08.5 | changing the world as we know it, but also potentially paving the path toward the future. |
| 2:14.3 | Of course, the question always on my mind, and the minds of many of us, naturally, is, is that going to be a good future? |
