The Micah Hanks Program

Is the United States in possession of a secretive new "sonic weapon," the existence of which has not yet been officially revealed to the public? This question has arisen recently amid rumors about a mysterious and devastating new U.S. capability, but what does science and available intelligence say about such futuristic warfare technologies? 
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine the recent sonic weapon claims, along with a look at other purported weapons and other capabilities comprising the alleged "secret arsenal" of the U.S. military. We also take a look further back in time at the beginnings of the world of "Black Projects" in the aftermath of World War II, the acquisition of secret German technologies, and how Cold War secrets and "UFO Mania" have all contributed to the public's ideas about the existence of secretive warfare capabilities.

The fabled Library of Alexandria, one of the greatest centers of learning in the ancient world, was home to vast collections of scrolls from across the Mediterranean and beyond. Despite the wonders it contained, by late antiquity, the library's collections had disappeared, leaving questions about the depth of the ancient knowledge it once contained. But could such "lost knowledge" from the ancient past ever be recovered? 
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we explore the enigma of lost information from antiquity, as well as several of the most curious surviving ancient technologies that point to the existence of remarkable knowledge that was harnessed in the ancient world. From the famous 'Antikithera Mechanism,' to mysteries that include "Greek Fire," Damascus Steel, Roman Concrete, and the enigmatic "Visby Lenses," we examine echoes of a technological past on Earth that history has largely forgotten... or has it?

Our fascination with ancient mysteries was rewarded in 2025 with a host of incredible discoveries that are shedding light on the past. Curious findings throughout the year have pushed back the timescales on the beginnings of ancient structures in Europe and other parts of the world, unusual artifacts found in odd places, and in some cases, discoveries that are bridging the gap between ancient history and mythology.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at some of the most fascinating and unusual archaeological discoveries of the last twelve months, from curiosities of the ancient world to lost technologies, forgotten societies, and monumental structures that are reshaping our views on the lives of the ancients.

Residents of New York and Los Angeles were recently treated to an eye-grabbing display, with the sudden appearance of mysterious promotional billboards advertising a new project by legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg. The eerie imagery was accompanied solely by the words "ALL WILL BE DISCLOSED," along with Spielberg's name and the presumed premiere date of the forthcoming film, the official title of which currently remains unknown.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, along with speculations about the film and whether it could feature "real aliens" and other theories that have proliferated online, we dive into the history of alleged U.S. government disclosures of information about UFOs in films and popular media, as well as the use of such platforms for the dissemination of disinformation.
