Summary
In recent days, a unique gathering of UAP researchers descended on Mesa, Arizona, for an international meeting of minds to address the lingering mystery of aerial objects in our skies of unknown origins.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, along with recent news related to the search for extraterrestrial life, we offer a recap of high points from this year's annual International UFO Congress, where Micah was a speaker. Along with high points from lectures from throughout the event, we also feature a pair of lengthy discussions about UAP investigations by law enforcement, and the secret UFO working group within the DOD in the 1980s.
