But what if the truth lies much closer to home? Could some UFO encounters involve advanced technologies developed by secretive groups operating beyond the boundaries of mainstream society\u2014or even the remnants of a hidden civilization whose origins stretch further into the past than we realize?<\/p>\n<p>This week on <em>The Micah Hanks Program<\/em>, we examine the controversial breakaway civilization hypothesis, exploring whether some of the UFO mystery could have an earthly explanation. From the strange illustrated notebooks of Charles Dellschau, to the musings of researchers like Walter, Peter Levenda, and Nick Cook, we explore the bizarre connections between secretive communities and hidden UFO-like technological developments.<\/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:\/\/www.space.com\/space-exploration\/the-rocket-scientist-who-summoned-demons-the-true-horror-story-of-jack-parsons\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rocket scientist who summoned demons: The true horror story of Jack Parsons | Space<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bibliotecapleyades.net\/cienciareal\/cienciareal07.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aleister Crowley&#8217;s Lam &amp; the Little Grey Men<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>KIRKPATRICK:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/former-pentagon-ufo-chief-disputes-fbi-black-triangle-sighting-says-reports-lack-evidence\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Former DoD UFO chief disputes FBI black triangle sighting, says reports lack evidence<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>BREAKAWAY CIVILIZATIONS:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quora.com\/What-is-a-breakaway-civilization\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is a breakaway civilization?<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>THE SECRETS OF DELLSCHAU: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1933665351\/ref=mes-dp?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_w=B00Ke&amp;content-id=amzn1.sym.9986c774-1242-403d-ae9e-f3251eb87773&amp;pf_rd_p=9986c774-1242-403d-ae9e-f3251eb87773&amp;pf_rd_r=8SH167Z0PPF9V2NE86NN&amp;pd_rd_wg=SpCnF&amp;pd_rd_r=caba00f4-c92c-41f9-8773-30582196eb14\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sonora Aero Club &amp; the Airships of the 1800s, A True Story<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>BOSLEY: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Origin-Nineteenth-Emergence-Breakaway-Civilizations\/dp\/1312814411\/ref=pd_sbs_hxwCAB_sspa_dk_detail_d_sccl_1_4\/139-1426081-2586900?pd_rd_w=ObYVi&amp;content-id=amzn1.sym.c381f488-9701-4c18-ae72-5ad6d4fe9c16&amp;pf_rd_p=c381f488-9701-4c18-ae72-5ad6d4fe9c16&amp;pf_rd_r=8SH167Z0PPF9V2NE86NN&amp;pd_rd_wg=SpCnF&amp;pd_rd_r=caba00f4-c92c-41f9-8773-30582196eb14&amp;pd_rd_i=1312814411&amp;psc=1&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;sloctc=1&amp;sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfdGhlbWF0aWM=\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Origin: The Nineteenth Century Emergence of the 20th Century Breakaway Civilizations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>FRIENDSHIP ISLAND:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/inexplicata.blogspot.com\/2012\/11\/chile-friendship-and-its-collateral.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chile: &#8220;Friendship&#8221; and Its Collateral Effects<\/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.
