Austin, Texas – The Documentary The age of disclosure Is going to do what countless films have done before: the proof that people on earth are not alone in the universe. What is different this time is that 34 senior members of the government, military and intelligence community went on the camera to talk about it.
“This is the biggest story there is,” director Dan Farah told Yahoo Entertainment. “What is a larger story than an 80-year-old cover-up of the existence of non-human intelligent life and revealing that there is a secret cold war race under nations to reverse-Irele technology of non-human origin?”
There is a lot to unpack here, so let’s make a backup.

The film, which premiered on March 9 at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Film & TV Festival, reveals information that claims that the US government has worked on hiding proof of the existence of aliens and that it competes with other countries to reveal the complex technology that they have uncovered.

It is a stigmatized topic that is often associated with conspiracy theorists, but the congress has held several hearings about non -inspired anomal phenomena (UAPS) in recent years – perhaps a less charged term for UFOs. The documentary states that UAP’s foreign invaders can be, robust American counter -in -lights that are out of supervision, alien beings or a combination of the three.
And they are not only strange -looking objects in the air. Intelligence officials in the documentary say that there is irrefutable, documented evidence of vehicles that seem to defy the laws of physics and to disturb nuclear and military activities. Much of that evidence is still classified.
According to dissidents mentioned in the film, the American people would provide more information about advanced technology, inform the whole world-included so-called bad actors from other countries. Russia and China were mentioned by name.
There is also a stigma for political figures, once worried about their reputation, who talk about UAPs. One source claimed that a Pentagon officer told them that UAPs are ‘the devil work’. It is difficult for everyone – regardless of status – to access classified UAP information.

“Even presidents, it seems, have operated on the need for knowledge,” says State Secretary Marco Rubio in the film. He added that some of the biggest attacks on the US, such as the attacks of September 11 and the bombing of Pearl Harbor, came from the country inability to prepare for the unforeseen. That is why he is one of the various two -part lawyers for further transparency and research into UAP findings.
Two important voices in the documentary are Jay Stratton, a former Defense Intelligence Agency officer and director of the UAP Task Force of the Government, and Luis Elizondo, a former official of the Ministry of Defense and member of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (Aatip) of the government.
“With my own eyes I have not seen -human craftsmanship and not -human beings,” says Stratton in the film.
Both men repeatedly state that the ‘Legacy program’ of the government, including members of the CIA and the Air Force,, as well as defense contractors, contains information in a way that creates a national security threat. It has been around since the 1940s.
Elizondo says in the documentary that he felt powered by a duty feeling to share a lot of information that “could change the process of our species.” He believes that alien beings may try to study our military and nuclear capacities.
So what is the proof? Much of it is still classified – but not all.
Military officials, including Alex Dietrich, James Cobb and Ryan Graves, all remember encounters they saw with their own eyes.
Scientists Hal Puthoff and Eric Davis explain in the documentary that uaps often move to clear bulbs. They believe that space and time function differently in those bubbles, so that the beings can survive inside with extreme speeds (more than 30,000 miles per hour) about media such as air and water while the gravity defies and produces biological effects on the people who come close to them.
The technology that would be needed to make that possible is much further than what the US has used, so that some believe that the life forms that are responsible could have already destroyed people if they wanted to. It can also present a clean, combustion -free energy source that would be massively beneficial for the climate.

With dual support, the New York Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer and South Dakota Republican Senator Mike Rounds introduced the non -inspired deviation from the deviation of the phenomena in July 2023 to increase transparency around UAPs and further open scientific research. Whistleblowers have given firsthand testimony to the congress, claiming that there are secret programs to pick up advanced craft of unknown or non -human origin and try to reverse engineer. It became a law, but was first stripped of an eminent domain mandate that the government would have given the authority to take control of UAP-related material that is controlled by private individuals or entities-such as federal contractors.
Rubio explains in the documentary that the placement of contractors responsible for certain projects offer them protection against Freedom or Information ACT applications that apply to the government.
The documentary never compares UAPs, alien discoveries or crossing the government Et, No Close meetings And absolutely no Men in black. That may have made it easier for people to understand, but Farah told Yahoo Entertainment that “the goal was to make the most credible, serious, non-sensational documentary ever on the subject.”
“I didn’t want to do anything that even came close to sensationalism,” he said.
What was the most eye-opening for him was not the huge number of people who wanted to pronounce this or to call up it was the two-part support for that.
βIt became very clear that leadership in both democratic and republican parties thinks that this is an extremely important topic, and therefore Foreign Minister is Rubio of the Republican Party and Senator [Kirsten] Gillibrand of the Democratic Party made it a priority to participate, “said Farah. “The interview topics in my documentary make it clear that things are happening with regard to this subject that we have to worry about and that we have to take seriously.”
The documentary contains no voices that disagree with what UAP findings can be or explain them. Farah said that “there is not really another side.”
‘I will tell you what happened. These people are … Extremely credible people who share their personal knowledge and experience, “he said. “I hope it helps to create some conversations on this subject that did not happen that will help get rid of the unjust stigma around this subject to ensure that our country takes it seriously.”
He believes that if people call on the government to release more information about UAPs, it can lead to what the documentary “calls the greatest paradigm shift in human history – the era of disclosure.”
The age of disclosure Had his world premiere at the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas, on March 9.
