UFOs and Intelligence: FBI Briefings, Japan's 'AARO', and DoD UAP Videos | MHP 05.20.25.

Recently on Capitol Hill, lawmakers were provided a classified briefing on UAP by the FBI, and now several U.S. Representatives are saying the Bureau needs to be more involved in the Pentagon's investigations into anomalous phenomena. We take a look at what members of Congress have had to say about the FBI's briefing, and where things may go from here. Also in this week's episode of The Micah Hanks Program, we look at why a group of former Japanese officials are pushing for the country to have its own version of the DoD's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), and a series of newly released videos and analysis by the Pentagon's UFO hunting unit... and why we still have a few questions about their conclusions. 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.
