The much-awaited documentary on UFOs now streaming on Amazon Prime titled The Age of Disclosure could have easily been dismissed as a bunch of interviews with lunatic conspiracy theorists had it not been for the stature of the people who speak on record for this film. Nearly 35 high-profile Americans, including the current secretary of state Marco Rubio, astrophysicists, top-notch defence officials and researchers offer their bold statements in this documentary by director Dan Farah, making it an all-out attack against the alleged eight-decades-old controversial “legacy program” run by the US government to retrieve and reverse-engineer non-human technology from crashed alien craft and dead non-humans.
The US government comes under attack in this film for keeping the information it is said to possess about life elsewhere and evidence of their trips to planet earth hidden from the public. Earlier known as unidentified flying objects, now these alien vehicles are addressed – perhaps more appropriately – as unidentified aerial phenomenon.
Mostly based in Washington DC, the film shows gorgeous buildings and monuments in the city in the background of whistleblowers being interviewed for the views on the US government’s “classified” programme. Luis Elizondo, who talks animatedly, was formerly employed with the United States Department of Defense and with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (OUSDI). He says that he was recruited in 2009 to the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), a government program set up in 2007 to investigate aerial threats including UFOs. AATIP now stands disbanded.

Jay Stratton, another retired defence intel executive and a former war veteran who was also part of AATIP, dwells at length on the evidence collected by American researchers and the military over the past several decades on aliens, which these people say, use vehicles that are of far superior quality compared with anything made on this planet.
Harold Edward Puthoff, American electrical engineer and parapsychologist known for his work in laser physics, notes categorically that “the classified data that we had access to when we joined the program was indisputable.” He was referring to AATIP and the proof of extraterrestrial life in the possession of its 'legacy program'.
For his part, Eric W. Davis, an astrophysicist who was a scientific advisor at AATIP, goes on to make an explosive claim that President George Bush Sr had told him in a conversation about American military men confronting aliens at the Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico, US.
Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Chris Mellon is shown as arguing vehemently that the US government as well as the rest – there are claims that other countries such as Russia and others were also retrieving UFO technology for the purposes of re-engineering and other experiments – must work towards developing new technologies from these allegedly obtained advanced technologies for the betterment of the human race.
Mark Rubio and others, too, raise the issue of making evidence public. One of the experts is heard saying that there is resistance from “war pigs” in the Pentagon because according to him wars over oil and such natural resources will become a thing of the past if the new technologies acquired from aliens could be re-engineered and put to good use.
Although such comments appear far-fetched from our current understanding of the world and the laws of physics, Dr Eric Davis argues about the specialities of some UFOs which are vastly advanced and beyond human comprehension, “There are two prevailing hypotheses about how the UAPs create the energy…. One is that the spacecraft can produce its own vacuum energy which is also known as zero-point energy.” The other one is that the spacecraft must be drawing energy from a remote source, he states.
Some of the quotable quotes in the film are as follows:
“Non-human intelligence has been actively conducting intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance on earth.”
“There is 80 years of data that the public isn’t even aware of.”
Many scientists and officials interviewed in the documentary say they are worried about falling behind in the power curve and also about the vulnerability of their nuclear plants and other such strategic installations. Rubio talks about strategic surprises that mankind will have to prepare itself for.
Chances are that you would watch this movie and dismiss it as outlandish, or, like many others, you may feel this is credible. Famous podcaster Joe Rogan posted on X, thrilled after watching the film, saying The Age of Disclosure is one of the best documentaries on the whole UFO phenomenon ever: “High ranking government officials revealing the truth about what they know about aliens, crashed craft retrieval programs, and back engineering efforts that have been going on for decades. If you’re into the subject, I can’t recommend this enough. Dan Farah and his team knocked it out of the park with this.”
Whichever side you take, the case for the possibility that we aren’t alone in the universe has just gained fresh momentum.
