In a recent opinion and analysis piece written for Scientific American, Sean Kirkpatrick, the former director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, the Pentagon's official UAP investigative office, lashed out against what he characterized as "sensational but unsupported claims" involving UAP and an alleged secret program within government involved in withholding information about them from the American public.  This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we take a deep dive into the recent allegations made by the DoD's former chief UFO investigator, and examine why there is cause for skepticism amidst the scientist's assurances that the investigative office he helped establish "is unwaveringly committed to harnessing science and technology to bring unprecedented clarity to these fascinating, important, and stubborn mysteries and to do so with maximum transparency."  Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting? Please consider sending us your sighting report, which may be of great importance to our scientific understanding of these phenomena.
