In July 2021, researchers conducted a week-long scientific expedition off California’s Catalina Island to study unidentified aerial phenomena using visible, infrared, and radiation sensors. While most anomalies were resolved through analysis, one unexplained event—captured around 4 a.m. on July 16—remains outstanding, marked by a dark object and possible coincident ionizing radiation.

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we are joined by Dr. Matthew Szydagis is a member of the physics faculty at the University at Albany State University, NY, pursuing experimental particle astrophysics, in particular direct laboratory detection of dark matter particles, underground. Since 2019 Matthew has also been a member of UAPx, which led the 2021 research effort off the California coast, detailed in a new paper, “Initial Results From the First Field Expedition of UAPx to Study Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena."
