Summary
In recent weeks, a growing number of news outlets have picked up the mysterious story of missing scientists, contractors, and government officials associated with some of the United States' most secretive technologies who have vanished or died under unusual circumstances. As the web of incidents continues to expand, current theories claim that nearly a dozen scientists may be involved, all with possible links to UFO secrets. So what is really going on?
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine the latest UFO conspiracy theory to gain traction in the mainstream media, which has even led to purported briefings at the White House. What does a closer examination of the situation reveal about these claims and the ideas driving such beliefs in the UFO community today?
