The AARO Historical Report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena | MHP 03.12.24.

A new Defense Department report detailing the United States government's involvement in investigations of unidentified anomalous phenomena, more commonly known as UFOs, was released late last week, resulting in divided opinions over the merit of the research conducted by the DoD's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine the mainstream media's coverage of the controversial new government UAP report before moving on to a fact-check of several errors it contains, in addition to revealing why AARO's over-reliance on past U.S. government studies set them up for failure, and finally, the few interesting tidbits we did notice in the completed historical assessment. 

Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting? Please consider reporting your sighting to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, a public resource for information about sightings of aerial phenomena.
