Incident Over El Paso: Laser Weapons, Drones, & UAP Claims | MHP 02.17.26.

This week, following an unusual situation that erupted in the skies over El Paso, Texas, last week that placed the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on high alert, the U.S. Department of Defense revealed the recent testing of a new counter-drone laser weapon that was reportedly deployed to neutralize a security threat at the U.S. southern border. However, as further reporting has revealed, it seems there was more to this story... and of course, plenty of UAP speculation involving alleged sightings of aerial objects in American airspace.

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at this alarming incident, what we know, and also its similarities to events in 2023 that resulted in the shoot-downs of several "unidentified aerial objects" over North America. Finally, what can we learn from a deeper look at the history of similar incidents involving alleged UFOs from over the decades?
