The Lacatski Effect: Spies, Saucers, and Secrets of the DIA's UAP Program | MHP 04.14.26.

About this episode

The episode explores the implications of potential UFO disclosures by the U.S. government and the role of Dr. James Lacatski in the DIA's UAP program.

If all records and information related to UFOs that the U.S. government currently withholds were to be released, what would it disclose about the phenomenon? Would the undeniable reality of unidentified anomalous phenomena finally be laid bare, or would it only foment new questions about what aerial mysteries? This week on The Micah Hanks Program , we analyze the ongoing riddle of the Defense Intelligence Program's (DIA) Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program (AAWSAP) and its enigmatic former director, Dr. James Lacatski, whose recent statements have raised new questions about "disclosure," as well as information leaks and espionage efforts that may have been underway during the secretive Pentagon UAP investigation.
