The Micah Hanks Program

For centuries, stories have been shared about encounters with strange, humanlike "monsters" in the remote regions of the Pacific Northwest and other rugged areas of North America. Popularly known as "Sasquatch" or "Bigfoot", many relegate the existence of such creatures to the realm of fantasy, and consider any alleged encounters to be misperceptions or hoaxes. What is less often discussed regarding Sasquatch is that a striking number of individuals working with United States Federal Government agencies have told stories of having encountered the creatures as well. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine testimony from several former government employees who share their experiences of having encountered these creatures while working in official capacities.

On December 9, 1965, residents in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and several other states, as well as Canada, observed a strange ball of fire streaking through the afternoon sky. Various reports indicated locations where the object was believed to have fallen, with the majority of them centering in on the rural community of Kecksburg in southwestern Pennsylvania. But what was the object, and what actually happened later that night as the U.S. military went in search of it?  This week, following news and an analysis of the long-lost Calvine UFO photograph from Scotland, we reopen the case files on the Kecksburg incident. Was there really an object recovered, and why did NASA lose its files on its investigation? Or is there another explanation for the event entirely? We explore all these questions and more this week on The Micah Hanks Program.  The story doesn't end here... become an X Subscriber and get access to even more weekly content and monthly specials.
