The UFO Messengers of Deception | 02.18.25.

The Micah Hanks Program

For decades, belief in unidentified aerial phenomena has found its way into the ideas espoused by a number of religious and political groups, as well as other organizations with unusual backgrounds. In his landmark analysis of this aspect of modern UFO-related beliefs, computer scientist Jacques Vallee argued in his 1979 book Messengers of Deception that such beliefs could play a key role in understanding both the phenomenon itself, as well as how it may be used by such groups as a control mechanism. But could the same things still be occurring today as well?

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we compare recent events in the ongoing UAP whistleblower debate to Vallee's fundamental premise from decades ago; who are today's UFO messengers of deception, and for what purposes might any such group seek to control aspects of the popular UAP narrative?
