Since the dawn of the new millennium, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) have gradually evolved from a fringe subject into a legitimate national security issue. Key developments that include the 2000 Illinois police triangle sighting, reporting on classified “black” military programs and the Pentagon’s “shadow military,” and other events illustrate how intelligence agencies and defense analysts increasingly viewed unexplained aerial reports not as curiosities, but as potential intelligence problems worthy of systematic investigation.
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at how UAP-related developments in the 21st century have shaped the study of unexplained aerospace phenomena. These include the investigations by Robert Bigelow’s NIDS, the DIA’s AAWSAP, and subsequent UAP investigations like the Pentagon’s AARO, their pursuit of answers to recurring reports involving triangle-shaped craft and glowing orbs, and what they mean in terms of secrecy, intelligence, and the investigation of UAP.
