A groundbreaking new documentary is making the extraordinary claim that the United States government has been systematically concealing proof of extraterrestrial life for decades. The Age of Disclosure, directed by Dan Farah, assembles testimony from over 30 high-ranking former officials who insist the public has been deliberately misled about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).
Credible Voices Break Their Silence
The film's strength lies in its roster of contributors, all of whom have held significant positions within the US national security apparatus. The documentary's executive producer and a key figure is Luis Elizondo, a former Pentagon official who led the secretive Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). Elizondo left his post in 2017, alleging a cover-up and a powerful disinformation campaign aimed at discrediting his findings.
Director Dan Farah, a producer on films like Ready Player One, made it his mission to only feature individuals with direct, insider knowledge. My north star was only interviewing people who have direct knowledge from working within the US government, Farah explained. The first major breakthrough was securing an interview with Jay Stratton, a defence official who co-founded AATIP. Stratton states bluntly in the film, I have seen with my own eyes non-human craft and non-human beings.
Stratton's participation created a ripple effect, encouraging others to come forward. The documentary eventually secured interviews with 34 contributors, including the current secretary of state, Marco Rubio, and General Jim Clapper, the former Director of National Intelligence under Barack Obama.
The Alleged Motive: A Global Technology Race
So why would the US government engage in such a vast and long-running concealment? The film posits that the primary driver is a clandestine, global arms race to reverse-engineer recovered non-human technology. Farah traces this alleged cover-up back to the infamous 1947 Roswell incident, which he describes as an alien crash retrieval.
He suggests that post-World War II, the Truman administration could not admit to the public that the nation faced a new, incomprehensible threat. The situation allegedly escalated when the US learned that rival nations, like Russia, were also capturing and retrieving UAP technology. You can't tell your friends without telling your enemies, Farah notes, reciting a line from the film.
Senator Marco Rubio offers a compelling, terrestrial angle on the secrecy. He argues that the compartmentalisation of UAP intelligence has spun out of control, creating a dangerous lack of transparency that could allow US adversaries to gain a technological upper hand.
A Call for Transparency and Scientific Inquiry
The Age of Disclosure presents a united front, with no dissenting voices included to challenge the claims. Farah defends this approach, stating his goal was to cut through what he sees as an illogical stigma surrounding the topic. He hopes the film will encourage the global scientific community to accept UAPs as a valid area of study.
The documentary ultimately rests on the weight of personal testimony rather than physical proof like photos or videos, which Farah believes would be dismissed as hoaxes or AI-generated in today's climate. He argues that the strongest evidence is credible people putting their name and reputation on the line.
Farah concludes with a bold prediction about the future of official disclosure. I think it is only a matter of time before a sitting US president steps to the podium and tells the world that we are not the only intelligent life in the universe, he said, heralding what he hopes will be a new era of transparency. The Age of Disclosure is currently released in the US, with a UK date to be announced.
