    Secret Arsenal: Sonic Weapons, Covert Aircraft, and 'Black Budget' Mysteries | MHP 01.12.25.

    Is the United States in possession of a secretive new "sonic weapon," the existence of which has not yet been officially revealed to the public? This question has arisen recently amid rumors about a mysterious and devastating new U.S. capability, but what does science and available intelligence say about such futuristic warfare technologies?

    This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine the recent sonic weapon claims, along with a look at other purported weapons and other capabilities comprising the alleged "secret arsenal" of the U.S. military. We also take a look further back in time at the beginnings of the world of "Black Projects" in the aftermath of World War II, the acquisition of secret German technologies, and how Cold War secrets and "UFO Mania" have all contributed to the public's ideas about the existence of secretive warfare capabilities.

    Lost Knowledge and Forgotten Technologies of the Past | MHP 01.07.26.
    Jan 7 2026
    The fabled Library of Alexandria, one of the greatest centers of learning in the ancient world, was home to vast collections of scrolls from across the Mediterranean and beyond. Despite the wonders it contained, by late antiquity, the library's collections had disappeared, leaving questions about the depth of the ancient knowledge it once contained. But could such "lost knowledge" from the ancient past ever be recovered? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we explore the enigma of lost information from antiquity, as well as several of the most curious surviving ancient technologies that point to the existence of remarkable knowledge that was harnessed in the ancient world. From the famous 'Antikithera Mechanism,' to mysteries that include "Greek Fire," Damascus Steel, Roman Concrete, and the enigmatic "Visby Lenses," we examine echoes of a technological past on Earth that history has largely forgotten... or has it?
