Summary

Since the early days of UFO studies, claims of sightings involving alleged occupants of these unidentified craft have been logged by both civilian and governmental investigative efforts. After many decades of sighting reports, only a handful of credible observations of UFO occupants have been logged, and the topic remains one of the most controversial issues in UAP studies. 

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine several of history's most credible sightings of unidentified craft and their humanoid occupants, and look at the patterns, consistencies, questions, and challenges they present to the modern study of mysterious aerial phenomena.
