With proclaimed "bombshell" articles recently released by the Wall Street Journal, it came to light, through an investigation by the Department of Defense's UFO office, AARO, that the United States Air Force, had up until 2023, allegedly faked UFO programs, photos, and videos as a "hazing ritual" for military personnel and to mask top secret programs concerning highly advanced man-made weapons and technology. However, these claims by past AARO directors are nothing new. And today's guest had reported on this almost ten months ago on his podcast. But why is this information being made public now? Does it account for all UFOs or even for the claims brought forward by "UFO Whistleblowers" in recent years? We discuss all of this in-depth with the founder and editor-in-chief of the Debrief, Micah Hanks.

0:00.0 | You are now somewhere in the Skies and a huge welcome to return guest fan favorite. |
0:47.1 | You know him as the creator of the debrief and so, so much more. |
0:52.4 | Micah Hanks, welcome back to the show, my friend. Well, it's good to be here, Ryan, and hello to an alumni contributor to the debrief, of course, you know, when we first launched that endeavor, which has really consumed my life over the last few years, but you were right there pounding away and writing science articles for us. And, you know, that was something that was |
1:11.3 | very meaningful for us at the time. And I still appreciate that. And also just being able to get |
1:16.2 | together with you and have these conversations. So good to be here, buddy. Oh, thank you. And always |
1:21.1 | love the debrief. In fact, I'll be covering several of your personal articles in our live stream |
1:26.6 | this week as well. |
1:28.2 | So I'm excited about that. |
1:29.8 | But so I was telling you off air, Micah. |
1:33.2 | I've been in and out of the UFO sphere for the past few months. |
1:38.7 | I've been traveling, working, and I haven't been able to keep up as much as I'd like to. This happens. Life gets in the way |
1:46.9 | for many of us in this field. But if there's one show I can depend on to catch me up on everything, |
1:53.9 | it is yours. And I have been consuming your past, I would say month or so of the Micahank's |
2:00.5 | program to get caught up with |
2:02.6 | everything going on in the UFO field. And a lot has been happening as I have seen from the |
2:08.8 | outside now looking in. And the big thing, I think on everyone's mind right now are these |
2:15.2 | Wall Street Journal articles that just broke in the past few |
2:18.9 | weeks. You've covered them. We did cover them sort of periphery on our live stream last week. |
2:26.9 | But what I wanted to do today, now you know me. I'm a planner. I usually have 50 questions |
2:33.6 | all lined up for my guests and everything. |
2:36.4 | But this was one of the first times I threw caution to the wind and I said, it's Micah Hank's. |
2:41.2 | I don't have to prepare anything. And we're just going to see where this conversation goes. |
