Micah Hanks is a journalist and editor at the-debrief, where he covers UAP, intelligence, and frontier-science topics. His framing tends toward critical-engaged: takes disclosure efforts seriously, but assesses substance against prior FOIA holdings and primary-source baselines.

Coverage in this vault

• src-debrief-pursue-launch-2026-05 — Same-day analysis of pursue Phase 1 (May 8, 2026). Hanks’s bottom line: PURSUE Release 01 is largely a centralized repository of previously-partial records with limited genuinely new insight; updated fbi-case-file-62-hq-83894 adds pages and reduces redactions vs. the FBI Vault edition. Surfaces anna-paulina-luna’s “great first step” reaction and her signal that a second tranche containing previously demanded video may land within weeks (src-luna-46-uap-videos-demand-2026-03).
