Often described as metallic silver, translucent, or illuminated in fiery orange or red, flying objects matching this description were even reported by Allied pilots over Europe during WWII as a possible new advanced weapon developed by Nazi Germany. Today, the Pentagon&#8217;s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office continues to collect reports about these mysterious &#8220;orbs,&#8221; which constitute the single largest category of UAP reports it collects.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"73\" data-end=\"767\">This week on\u00a0<em>The Micah Hanks Program<\/em>, we look at striking examples of sightings and close encounters involving spherical UAP, also often referred to as &#8220;orbs,&#8221; as well as official investigations by the U.S. government into these objects and their anomalous behavior.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>SHOW NOTES<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Below are links to stories and other content featured in this episode.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>NEWS: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/thedebrief.org\/a-mile-long-ancient-roman-engineering-marvel-has-suddenly-surfaced-from-beneath-this-famous-waterway\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Mile-Long Ancient Roman Engineering Marvel Has Suddenly Surfaced<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/greekreporter.com\/2026\/08\/17\/roswell-greece-ufo\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Greek Roswell: UFO Sightings in Greece Nobody Talks About &#8211; GreekReporter.com<\/span><\/a><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.war.gov\/UFO\/?releaseDate=Release+05&amp;release=05#DOS-UAP-D001-Diplomatic-Cable-Brazil-November-14-1963\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Declassified UFO Files Reveal 1963 Investigation of Alleged \u201cDead Astronaut\u201d Crash in Brazil<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><b>ORB CASES:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/uapsightings.org\/illinois-2019-uapsrs-case-no-44\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Illinois, 2019: UAPSRS Case No. 44<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/uapsightings.org\/texas-fort-bliss-uapsrs-case-no-45\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Texas, Fort Bliss: UAPSRS Case No. 45<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/uapsightings.org\/florida-2023-uapsrs-case-no-97\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Florida, 2023: UAPSRS Case No. 97<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/uapsightings.org\/michigan-1947-uapsrs-case-no-27\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michigan, 1947: UAPSRS Case No. 27<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><b>PROJECT CONDIGN:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/condign-vol-2-1-258\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Project Condign: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK Air Defence Region<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><b>PURSUE CASE STUDY:<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.war.gov\/UFO\/?releaseDate=Release+02&amp;release=02#ODNI-UAP-D001-USPER-Narrative-Senior-USIC-Official\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ODNI-UAP-D001, USPER Narrative, Senior USIC Official<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/micahhanks.com\/x\">BECOME AN X SUBSCRIBER AND GET EVEN MORE GREAT PODCASTS AND MONTHLY SPECIALS FROM MICAH HANKS.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"ezAdsense adsense adsense-midtext\">Sign up today and get access to the entire back catalog of<strong>\u00a0The Micah Hanks Program,\u00a0<\/strong>as well as \u201cclassic\u201d episodes,\u00a0weekly \u201cadditional editions\u201d of the subscriber-only\u00a0<em><strong>X Podcast,<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0the monthly\u00a0<strong>Enigmas\u00a0<\/strong>specials, and much more.<\/div>\n<p>Like us on\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MicahHanksOfficial\/?view_public_for=101037011668657\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Follow\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/MicahHanks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">@MicahHanks<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>on X.<\/p>\n<p>Keep up with Micah and his work at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.micahhanks.com\/\">micahhanks.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Want to advertise\/sponsor\u00a0<em>The Micah Hanks Program<\/em>?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We have partnered with <b>AdvertiseCast <\/b>to handle our advertising\/sponsorship requests.
