AUSTIN, Texas — The documentary The Age of Disclosure sets out to do what countless films have done before: present proof that humans on Earth are not alone in the universe. What’s different this time is that 34 senior members of the government, military and intelligence community went on camera to talk about it.

“This is the biggest story there is,” director Dan Farah told Yahoo Entertainment. “What’s a bigger story than an 80-year-old cover-up of the existence of nonhuman intelligent life and revealing there’s a secret Cold War race among nations to reverse-engineer technology of nonhuman origin?”

And they’re not just weird-looking objects in the sky either. Intelligence officials in the documentary say there’s irrefutable, documented evidence of vehicles that appear to defy the laws of physics and interfere with nuclear and military activity. Much of that evidence is still classified.

“Even presidents, it seems, have been operating on a need-to-know basis,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio says in the film. He added that some of the biggest attacks on the U.S., like the Sept. 11 attacks and the bombing of Pearl Harbor, came from the country’s inability to prepare for the unforeseen. That’s why he’s one of several bipartisan advocates for further transparency and research into UAP findings.

Two key voices in the documentary are Jay Stratton, a former Defense Intelligence Agency official and director of the government’s UAP Task Force, and Luis Elizondo, a former Department of Defense official and member of the government’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP).

“I have seen with my own eyes nonhuman craft and nonhuman beings,” Stratton says in the film.

Both men mention repeatedly that the government’s “legacy program,” which includes members of the CIA and the Air Force as well as defense contractors, obscures information in a way that’s creating a national security threat. It’s been around since the 1940s.

UFOs with broad bipartisan support?

So their politics is as screwed up as ours?................

[Clutch Martin]

It’s the NEW type of climate change fleecing of the American taxpayer.

I wonder if the advanced technological programs are running out of cash so... thus inventive fleecing us developef to help support the ongoing technology development.

Abduction? Manifestations of fallen angels.

[RoosterRedux]

LOL.

[cgbg]

There are major crimes against humanity that must be hidden at all costs.

“Disclosure” is trying to thread the needle and protect the guilty.

Of course most Congress-critters have not gone far enough down the rabbit hole to understand what they are dealing with...

More human beings flapping their mouths about a subject.

That's still not 'proof' of anything other than the craft service table likely got hit hard.

I call BS on ANYTHING the government discloses about UFO's, aliens, close encounters the whole ball of wax - it's all fake it's all a distraction a way to waste money, IMHO.

I'll give some reasons:

1. Size of the Universe The universe is vast, with billions of galaxies, each containing billions of stars and potentially even more planets. The sheer number of planets that could harbor life suggests that it’s statistically likely that life exists elsewhere in the universe. However, this doesn’t automatically mean they've visited Earth. The distances between stars are enormous, so even if extraterrestrial civilizations exist, traveling across those distances would be a monumental challenge with current understanding of physics.

2. Fermi Paradox The Fermi Paradox is the apparent contradiction between the high probability of extraterrestrial life and the lack of evidence or contact with such civilizations. While there are many planets that could potentially support life, we haven't yet found definitive evidence of alien visitation or communication. This raises the question: If intelligent extraterrestrial civilizations exist, why haven’t they made contact with us?

3. Technological Limitations Even if there are extraterrestrial civilizations capable of space travel, the technological limitations of such journeys would be a significant factor. The closest star system to Earth, Alpha Centauri, is over 4 light years away. Traveling even a fraction of that distance with current technology would take tens of thousands of years. More advanced civilizations might have developed faster-than-light travel or other forms of advanced technology, but we don’t know if such technologies are even possible according to our current understanding of physics.

4. Lack of Evidence Despite decades of scientific exploration and attempts to detect alien signals (like through the SETI program), we have no direct evidence of aliens having visited Earth. Claims of UFO sightings or alien encounters are numerous, but they are often anecdotal, unverified, or explainable by other phenomena (e.g., weather balloons, military aircraft, or misidentified natural objects). The scientific community generally requires solid evidence to support such claims, and so far, no verifiable proof has been found.

5. The Great Filter Hypothesis Some theorists suggest that there may be a "Great Filter" — a step in the evolution of life that is incredibly rare or difficult to overcome. This could explain why we haven’t encountered extraterrestrial civilizations. The Great Filter could be anything from the origin of life itself to the development of advanced technology. If most civilizations fail at this critical point, it would significantly reduce the odds of finding one that has developed the ability to travel across vast distances and reach Earth.

While I WISH that alien visitations were true and they might be, I find it HIGHLY unlikely.

...Manifestations of fallen angels...

Nah, just common everyday ETs. What is so difficult about that?

[Liz]

No less a personage that renowned Italian physicist, Enrico Fermi postulated that if the conditions required for life to arise from non-living matter are as permissive as the available evidence on Earth indicates, then extraterrestrial life would be sufficiently common that it would be implausible for it not to have been detected.

Fermi said, “But where is everybody?”

There have been many attempts to resolve what is termed “the Fermi paradox,” such as suggesting that intelligent extraterrestrial beings are extremely rare, that the lifetime of such civilizations is short, or that they exist but (for various reasons) humans see no evidence.

“Of course most Congress-critters have not gone far enough down the rabbit hole to understand what they are dealing with...”

They are detached and live in a closed bubble of controlled alternate reality. We are probably actually getting more information by accident and leaks than they are.

"34 senior members of the government, military and intelligence community went on camera to talk about it."

Well, so much for the credibility of any claims that extraterrestrial aliens exist, besides those in the delusions of 34 senior members of the government, military and intelligence community.

“This is the biggest story there is,” director Dan Farah told Yahoo Entertainment."

Let there be hype.

Abduction? Manifestations of fallen angels.

I saw a podcast recently—might have been Jesse Michels—where people who had tried to use the CE-5 protocol to summon a "craft" reported feeling that something had "attached itself to their consciousness" (spooky).

Will people believe it?

Not if the government says it.

It’s gonna take a generation to re-earn our trust...

[bigcat32]

All are superb reasons for explaining away intergalactic visitations.

I suggest looking into inter-dimensional origins.

[Twotone]

I recently read “Imminent” by Luis Elizondo. Yes, this planet is being visited by something. Corporeal, not spirit. Yes, we have bodies & crash debris from their ships. Enough people have come to believe in the reality of UFO’s to not cause a panic if the gov’t released the data. Let’s see it.

[Hot Tabasco]

we don’t know if such technologies are even possible according to our current understanding of physics.

Look how far technology has advanced since the Wright brothers first flew their plane.

There is no one who can calculate how far technology will advance in the next 500 years.

It's estimated that the universe is 13.8 billion years old. IF life exists on other planets, they could very well be a thousand or more years ahead of us in technology and have discovered aspects of physics and inter dimensions that we haven't even thought of yet.

So, I continue to keep and open mind and believe that there is life somewhere out there...

How often do you drive a hundred miles out of your way to visit an active war zone, like a blue city ghetto during riot season?

[RoosterRedux]

You make some good points. Here’s another perspective.

Dismissing all government disclosures on UFOs as “BS” is an overgeneralization. While skepticism is healthy, recent disclosures include testimonies from military pilots, radar operators, and intelligence officials—making total fabrication unlikely.

You acknowledge the vastness of the universe but assume interstellar travel must follow our current physics. Advanced civilizations could have developed propulsion methods beyond our understanding, just as past scientific breakthroughs defied prior assumptions.

The Fermi Paradox doesn’t disprove visitation—it only highlights contradictions in our observations. Aliens may avoid direct contact, use undetectable communication, or be subject to government secrecy.

Claims of “no evidence” overlook military reports of craft with no visible propulsion, extreme acceleration, and transmedium travel—phenomena unexplained by current technology. However, just because credible people have seen UFOs doesn’t automatically mean they come from outer space. They could originate from parallel dimensions, an idea some physicists take seriously. Given the possibility of the “extradimensional” hypothesis, concluding such beings must be from “outer space” looks like a straw man argument.

Skepticism is warranted, but outright dismissal ignores credible reports and the possibility of unknown technological advances. A more balanced approach considers evidence without assuming deception.
