Last Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced in a posting on his Truth Social website that he plans to "begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs)," and related information. Following the announcement, the internet has been buzzing with speculation about UFO disclosure and what such a historic release might potentially reveal.

In this week's installment of The Micah Hanks Program, we break down the events leading up to the President's announcement, what any formal release of UFO documents would entail, but also why there is still a case for caution when it comes to our expectations regarding UFO disclosure under the Trump administration.

This week, following an unusual situation that erupted in the skies over El Paso, Texas, last week that placed the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on high alert, the U.S. Department of Defense revealed the recent testing of a new counter-drone laser weapon that was reportedly deployed to neutralize a security threat at the U.S. southern border. However, as further reporting has revealed, it seems there was more to this story... and of course, plenty of UAP speculation involving alleged sightings of aerial objects in American airspace.

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at this alarming incident, what we know, and also its similarities to events in 2023 that resulted in the shoot-downs of several "unidentified aerial objects" over North America. Finally, what can we learn from a deeper look at the history of similar incidents involving alleged UFOs from over the decades?

On an April afternoon in 1964, a police officer's observation of an unusual, landed aircraft in New Mexico would become one of ufology's most baffling cold cases. Decades later, two women's unnerving encounter with a strange aircraft over a Texas highway would leave them suffering from health effects that led them to believe they had witnessed a U.S. government test gone awry. But could these two famous UFO cases have more in common than most would ever think?

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, our examination of some of America's most controversial UFO cases leads us to questions about a supposed "UFO legacy program," and what such a program—if it exists—might entail. Could some of history's most well-documented UFO cases point to something the U.S. government knows far more about than it's letting on?
