Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently confirmed that officials are actively reviewing UFO-related records, noting that \"our people are working on it right now,\" while Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson said the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) is coordinating aspects of the disclosure process. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine all of the latest UAP transparency developments, amid recent efforts that include an AARO-hosted workshop bringing together civilian researchers, universities, and government agencies, and a new report examining scientific perspectives on what future releases of UAP files may reveal.
