About this episode

This episode explores the phenomenon of spherical UAP sightings and the investigations surrounding them.

For decades, sightings of unusual, spherical objects have been reported in our skies. 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's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office continues to collect reports about these mysterious "orbs," which constitute the single largest category of UAP reports it collects. This week on The Micah Hanks Program , we look at striking examples of sightings and close encounters involving spherical UAP, also often referred to as "orbs," as well as official investigations by the U.S. government into these objects and their anomalous behavior.
