About this episode

This episode explores the historical connection between UFO sightings and nuclear facilities, examining famous incidents and their implications.

Since the dawn of the atomic age, UFO reports have frequently involved sightings near nuclear weapons facilities, missile installations, laboratories, power facilities, and other nuclear-related infrastructure, both in the United States and abroad. Some incidents have included more controversial allegations of apparent interference with nuclear weapons or associated systems, although the evidence supporting such claims varies considerably. This week on The Micah Hanks Program , we examine this historical pattern, and look at famous sightings near nuclear sites, and what they reveal about whether UAPs deliberately target these facilities, as well as lingering questions about the possible motives of their presumed operators.
