For more than seventy years, reports of unidentified objects in American airspace have been met with official silence, bureaucratic dismissal, or immediate classification. Military aviators have filed incident reports. Radar operators have documented anomalies. Citizens have submitted testimony. Yet despite recent congressional hearings and the establishment of government task forces, fundamental questions remain unanswered about what is operating in our skies.
A new documentary aims to change that calculus entirely.
Director and producer Dan Farah has spent three years assembling what he describes as the most comprehensive examination yet of what he characterizes as an eighty-year cover-up regarding non-human intelligence. His film, “The Age of Disclosure,” features interviews with thirty-four senior officials from the United States government, military, and intelligence community, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The central claim is extraordinary: that elements within the government have concealed not merely the existence of unidentified aerial phenomena, but an ongoing international competition to reverse-engineer technology of non-human origin.
“For a very long time, the public, Congress, and even the President have been kept out of the loop on this subject,” Farah stated in a recent interview. “In the last few years, senior members of Congress, senior members of the administration, thanks to whistleblowers, have found out what’s been going on, and they are now in pursuit of the truth for themselves and for the American people.”
The implications, if verified, would be profound. According to Farah, every official he interviewed indicated this was no longer a matter of speculation but established fact within certain government circles. Each individual, he emphasized, possessed direct knowledge of the issue and carried substantial credentials.
Secretary Rubio’s participation lends considerable weight to the project. In the film’s trailer, he addresses repeated incidents of unknown objects operating over restricted nuclear facilities. “We’ve had repeated instances of something operating in the airspace over restricted nuclear facilities, and it’s not ours,” Rubio states plainly.
The documentary further alleges that the United States finds itself in what amounts to a new Cold War, racing against China and Russia to understand and replicate technology that did not originate on this planet. Jay Stratton, former director of the government’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force and a Defense Intelligence Agency official, frames the stakes clearly in the trailer: “The first country that cracks the code on this technology will be the leader for years to come.”
Farah characterizes the effort as “the Manhattan Project on steroids,” suggesting the scale and secrecy rival America’s development of atomic weapons during World War II.
The timing of this documentary coincides with increased congressional attention to the matter. Whistleblowers have come forward in recent years, and lawmakers from both parties have expressed frustration with what they describe as stonewalling by elements of the defense and intelligence establishments.
Whether “The Age of Disclosure” will provide the definitive evidence its title suggests remains to be seen. What cannot be dismissed is the caliber of individuals willing to speak on record about a subject that, until recently, would have ended careers and invited ridicule.
The American people deserve answers about what operates in our airspace, who controls it, and what our government knows. If senior officials are correct that this represents a technological arms race with global implications, then the conversation must move beyond dismissal and into serious national security discourse.
That is the way it is.
