Farah made The Age of Disclosure in secret over three and a half years.

I made this movie, The Age of Disclosure, in secrecy over three and a half years.

Elements of the US government have concealed the existence of non-human intelligent life since at least the late 1940s.

there has in fact been an 80-year cover up of the existence of non-human intelligent life. It has been covered up by elements of the US government since at least the late 40s.

President Trump issued a directive in mid-February (2026 by context) ordering federal agencies to start declassifying evidence of non-human intelligent life and UAP, and the first tranche was released on the Friday before recording.

President Trump issuing this directive in the middle of February. Super unprecedented historic directive instructing federal agencies to start declassifying evidence

The programme (OAP, apparently AAWSAP) started in 2008, hired Puthoff and others, met bureaucratic resistance from the legacy programme and lost funding in 2010.

That program they started was called OAP. They hired all the team, for example, HAL. And that program started in 2008.

A crash-retrieval and reverse-engineering effort called the 'legacy program' has run since the 1940s outside congressional and White House oversight.

a deeply hidden program referred to as the legacy program. And it had been operating in the shadows since the 40s, outside of congressional oversight, outside of the oversight of the White House.

Several film interviewees said on the record they know from personal experience of recovered UAP crashes, some with non-human bodies.

a number of the people I interviewed went on the record stating that they know from their own personal experiences that there have been UAP crashes over the years that have been recovered

A couple of people have testified under oath to Congress that non-human bodies were recovered.

A couple people actually testified under oath to Congress saying the same thing.

Jay Stratton says in the film that he has personally seen non-human beings and non-human craft.

He went on the record in the film saying that he's seen non-human beings and non-human craft with his own eyes.

Stratton retired from the Senior Executive Service, worked with naval intelligence, the CIA and the DIA (as head of air and space warfare), co-founded the AAWSAP-era programme ('OAP') and directed the UAP Task Force.

he was part of the senior executive services of the federal government. That's a level less than 1% of all federal employees ever reach.

The 1947 Roswell crash was a non-human craft, and multiple interviewees in the film say it really happened.

in 1947 there was a crash at Roswell of non-human origin

Russia also retrieved non-human technology, so the US entered a secret technology race to reverse-engineer it with adversaries like China and Russia.

we learned that Russia also had retrieved technology of non-human origin. And so we knew we were in a technology race.

A CIA meeting in the late 1940s or early 1950s decided to spread disinformation to stigmatise UFO inquiry, including funding films that made aliens seem silly.

It was actually a CIA meeting where people got together and said, "Okay, in order to not have people be pursuing this area, let's go out of our way to spread what we would call now disinformation

People involved in recoveries say there are at least four distinct types of non-human beings.

People who have been involved in recoveries have said there at least four types. Four separate types. Now I have not had direct access to that

There have been dozens of recoveries of crashed non-human craft in the United States alone.

there have been dozens of recoveries of crashed craft in the US alone. Dozens of craft of non-human origin that either crashed organically or caused a crash and then recovered.

A senior special forces man who told Farah he had been involved in multiple recoveries withdrew from an interview, saying taking part would forfeit his life.

after further consideration and long talks with my wife, I decided I'd be forfeiting my life if I participated in your interview.

Presidents have historically not been told about the legacy program; Rubio says on camera it was kept from sitting presidents.

even Rubio says on camera that, you know, historically this has been kept from even sitting presidents.

The legacy program is led by elements of the CIA, the Air Force, the Department of Energy and a few major defense contractors.

elements of the CIA, elements of the Air Force, elements of the Department of Energy, and a few major defense contractors.

In Trump's first administration, his cabinet was briefed by the UAP Task Force (Stratton) to evaluate the repercussions of a public announcement.

during Trump's first administration, his cabinet was briefed by the UAP task force, by J Stratton.

Obama is largely kept in the dark but knows the base fact that we are not alone; his 'unless a giant conspiracy' line reflects knowledge of one.

I think Obama is largely kept in the dark. I think he does know that the base fact that we're not alone in the universe.

The most notable item in the first tranche is a 1972 Apollo still, taken from the lunar module, showing a triangle-shaped craft above the Moon and the astronauts, which the UAP Task Force reportedly judged real.

the most notable piece of evidence in there is an image, a still image from the 1972 Apollo mission. It's an image of a triangle, a seemingly triangle-shaped craft hovering above the moon

Few federal agencies engaged with the declassification directive and gave only a small share of what they hold, in a couple of weeks.

everyone we've talked to at various federal agencies has told us that when the president gave this directive in middle of February for federal agencies to declassify evidence of non-human intelligent life and UAP, only a few engaged with it.

Intelligence officials deliberately concentrated nuclear assets in one place to attract UAP, and it reportedly worked; other nations did the same.

they decided to, you know, make an attractive magnet by getting a whole lot of nuclear uh assets in one location to see if that would draw them in. And my understanding it was successful.

No other country has come forward because allies follow the US lead and adversaries (China, Russia) have no reason to go public.

I think our allies follow the US's lead, right? And I think our adversaries, primarily China and Russia, have no reason to go public.

The 2004 Tic Tac encounter was captured by multiple data collection systems and seen by Commander David Fravor, who is described as commander of an entire naval strike group.

Multiple data collection systems and Commander Dave Fraver, a legend in the NA in in the Navy, top gun guy, commander of an entire naval strike group, right?

The Tic Tac went from hovering over the ocean to 80,000 feet instantly and performed that manoeuvre all afternoon.

This UAP went from hovering above the ocean to instantly being at 80,000 ft, which is the entrance to space

Ship crews have seen UAP enter the water and move at speeds no human craft can reach underwater; in WWII pilots reported 'foo fighters' alongside aircraft.

people on ships seeing these things enter the water and then moving at, you know, impossible 50 knots or something which no no human being.

A craft's warp bubble distorts light, which explains why public videos of UAP are blurry.

That warp bubble also makes it very hard to get a clear video of something cuz you're you're taking a photo or a video through essentially a space-time barrier.

Mike Gold, who served on the NASA UAP effort, says NASA's work was flawed from the start, that NASA wanted a 'nothing to see here' result, and that the team was told not to include the triangle image over the Moon.

he talked about um how that effort was was flawed from the start. They didn't want to have a result that said NASA has all this information that they've kept from the public.

Classified video exists that clearly shows a non-human craft with its bubble off, plus recovered technology and bodies.

there is evidence at a classified level that is clear as day like some video taken when like the bubble is turned off and you can see a cra a a craft of non-human origin clear as day

Rubio and former DNI James Clapper, who are politically opposed, both say humans cannot prepare for things they have not seen; Rubio adds that the worst intelligence failures (Pearl Harbor, 9/11) came from a lack of imagination.

Rubio and General Jim Clapper, two people who are completely ideologically and politically opposed to each other, made the same really intelligent point

Some gatekeepers believe the public cannot handle the truth, though the legacy-program people now concede the film caused no panic.

People involved in gatekeeping this information that don't think the public can handle the truth.

The first video Stratton saw was a triangle craft hovering over a nuclear weapons site, filmed on VHS by Air Force security guards; it remains classified.

the first video J Stratton was shown when he went down this rabbit hole was a triangle craft hovering over a nuclear weapons site. Uh, Air Force security guards had filmed it on a little VHS camera

Disclosure of recovered technology would trigger a technology boom: anti-gravity, new energy sources, interstellar travel.

I think it will lead to a giant technology boom. I think once we're told, hey, there's this technology that exists that could revolutionize the way we live, you know, it could lead to anti-gravity technology.

The Vatican has already signalled that extraterrestrial life poses no problem for Catholic doctrine.

I think that the Vatican's already gotten ahead of it and said, you know, they put out a message a couple years ago

The White House, DNI and Department of War have told the military and intelligence community that declassification is not a witch hunt and nobody will be punished for past gatekeeping.

they've been messaging out to the military and the intelligence community that this is not a witch hunt.

Reports from people involved in crash recoveries say many craft have no control panels, only seats, which suggests mind control of the craft; Farah sees this as an overlap with remote viewing.

don't have any control panels in them. Like they're basically empty other than seats, which suggests that maybe there's some sort of mind connection controlling these craft.

Farah predicts a sitting president will eventually announce publicly that we are not alone in the universe.

we're going to get to more tranches of more meaningful evidence. And I think eventually we'll get to that thing that we that that moment that we've all only seen in movies where a sitting president steps to a microphone

Farah says UAP and remote viewing have convinced him Western ideas of reality are incomplete.

what I've learned about, for example, remote viewing, it's made me realize that our sort of western present day view of reality is not complete.

Farah expected interviewees to say UAP was cover for black projects, but not a single one did.

I was totally prepared to have people tell me, "Look, this is all [ __ ] It was all cover for our classified projects."

The next tranche is expected within about 30 days as part of a rolling declassification.

we have been told by our friends in government that the next trunch of evidence is likely to come out in the next 30 days or so and it's going to be a rolling declassification process.

The UAP issue is the most bipartisan issue in Washington.

the UAP issue, non-human life, is the most bipartisan issue in Washington DC at a time when Democrats and Republicans in the United States can't agree on anything.

Farah says the film was financed independently, made in secrecy with NDAs, with participants limited to people who had direct knowledge through US government work, and that it effectively became 'the plan for disclosure'.

I would make this movie completely independently. I would independently finance it. Uh every we'd make it in complete secrecy. everyone would sign strict NDAs.

Farah says the 19 February presidential directive instructed all federal agencies to identify evidence of UAP and non-human intelligent life and to declassify it, issued about three months after the film's 21 November 2025 release.

Trump issued a presidential directive instructing all federal agencies to identify evidence of UAP and non-human intelligent life and to declassify it.

Farah says his interviewees describe a 'legacy program', quarterbacked by the CIA with elements of the Air Force, Department of Energy and private defence contractors, that has gatekept UAP information for about 80 years.

a number of the interview subjects in my doc uh reveal that a program referred to as the legacy program has gatekept this information for basically 80 years.

Farah assigns roles inside the legacy program: Air Force runs field operations including retrievals of crashed UAP; the Department of Energy supplies a classification system outside the intelligence community's; contractors do reverse engineering; the CIA has operational control.

the air force is actually uh like sort of like in control of field operations like doing actual retrievalss of crashed UAP

Farah says Rubio explains that, because contractors stay constant while government overseers retire or die, successive overseers lose knowledge of the program's origin and eventually elected officials have no idea it exists.

The contractor stays constant. They keep working on it. That that government overseer, he retires or he dies. Another guy comes in.

Farah says Rubio, as vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and the rest of the committee learned the reality and extent of the cover-up and signed agreements that they would face jail time, or in some claims death, if they spoke.

They signed agreements that they would face jail time or in some cases some people claim it would cost them their lives if they spoke out about these things.

Farah says career bureaucrats in the CIA, Department of Energy and Air Force can gatekeep for 20 to 30 years and 'wait out' administrations, and that agencies are not turning over evidence despite the presidential directive.

a lot of these federal agencies, they're they're not turning over the evidence they have or they're just playing dumb

Farah says a 1948 internal memo from the US Navy's commander of naval operations, released the previous Friday, told the whole naval force to be on the lookout for UAP after an increase in flying-saucer sightings and to report to the Air Force rather than up the Navy chain.

a memo from 1948 internal memo from the US Navy where the commander of all naval operations was essentially instructing the entire naval force uh to be on the lookout for UAP

Farah says there is a tug of war behind the scenes between officials who want UAP made a national priority and informed public, and gatekeepers who think secrecy is best and do not want to lose control of information.

There's a there's a tug of war happening behind the scenes.

Farah says some gatekeepers sincerely believe the public cannot handle the truth, and argues the film shows people can, because viewers become curious rather than panicked.

I think my documentary shows people can right people aren't watching this movie and you know jumping out of windows losing their minds.

Farah says the people gatekeeping the information have been in a high-stakes secret Cold War race with China and Russia to reverse engineer technology of non-human origin, which interviewees call the 'Manhattan Project on steroids'.

the people that have been gatekeeping this information, they've also been involved in a highstakes secret cold war race with adversarial nations like China and Russia to try to reverse engineer this technology of non-human origin.

Farah predicts the government will acknowledge the retrieval of technology of non-human origin and the technology race, probably over the next year or two, though he is unsure whether under this presidency or the next.

I think it's going to play out over the next year or two.

Farah says people involved in the cover-up have told senior members of Congress and the intelligence community that they fear prosecution, that support is building inside the White House for amnesty, and that some cabinet members are messaging the intelligence community that it is not a witch hunt, possibly with a six-month window.

there's a brewing support uh inside of even the White House right now to offer amnesty to these people.

Farah says a number of people in the film have learned that crashed craft of non-human origin have been retrieved, in many cases with non-human bodies ('biologics').

a number of the people in my film reveal that they have learned that there have been retrievalss of crash craft of non-human origin. In many cases, there were non-human bodies

Farah says Kennedy's Rice University speech is the model interviewees want, and quotes Kennedy as saying space technology, like nuclear technology, has no conscience of its own.

space technology like nuclear technology has no conscious of its own it's up to mankind whether it's used for good or evil

Farah says a university has recently created the first class on UAP and that the scientific community is beginning to accept the subject, though he cannot remember which university.

some university was the first to um put a put a a a class around UAP

Farah says people in the film state that in the late 1940s and early 1950s the CIA deliberately created a cultural stigma around UAP as a sophisticated disinformation campaign, and that some Hollywood people were tasked with making the topic look silly.

the CIA, as a way to prevent people from looking into it and asking questions, they created this cultural stigma

Farah says one aim of the film was to 'put a nail in the coffin of the stigma', because until recently a sitting senator or senior fighter pilot had no reason to speak up and would face the stigma.

one of the big objectives for the documentary um for the people who participated was to um put a nail in the coffin of the stigma

Farah recalls a CBS News survey from about a week earlier in which an overwhelming majority believed we are not alone and that the US government knows more than it has said, but does not remember the numbers.

it was like overwhelming uh majority of people they surveyed believed a we're not alone in the universe and b that the US government knows more than they've told us.

Farah says FOIA is of limited use because material has moved to private defence contractors, who cannot be FOIA'd, and the Department of Energy uses a separate classification system equivalent to the one guarding nuclear secrets.

You can't foyer Loheed Martin, right? Um and the Department of Energy has its own classification system that's not very easy to to foyer.

Farah says some people within the White House want to 'put this secret back in a box and bury it for another 80 years'.

I think there are still some people within the White House that want to put this secret back in a box and bury it for another 80 years.

Farah says people in the film reveal ongoing UAP activity over US nuclear and sensitive military sites since the late 1940s, from orbs to craft to giant craft.

there has been ongoing UAP activity over our nuclear sites and our um military sites sensitive military sites uh since the late 40s

Farah says that in the film, a couple of Air Force security guards describe a recent event at Vandenberg Air Force Base in which half a dozen guards watched a giant matte black craft the size of a football field, with no windows, lights or visible propulsion, come off the coast and then shoot off at thousands of miles an hour.

a giant UAP came off the coast and over Vanderberg and half a dozen Air Force security guards all stood there looking up at this extraordinary thing

Farah says Rubio warns that if the US does not take this seriously it will 'wake up one day' to find China has fully reverse engineered the technology, drawing on intelligence failures of imagination such as Pearl Harbor and 9/11.

if we don't get our act together as a nation and take this more serious and put more resources towards it, we're going to wake up one day and we're going to find out that China got there before we did.

Farah says Rubio is the national security adviser and the secretary of state at the same time, which has happened once before in US history, with Henry Kissinger in the late 1970s for two years.

He's the national security adviser and the secretary of state at the same time. That's happened once in US history.

Farah says orbs have been seen since World War II, when Allied pilots reported them flying beside their aircraft and performing evasive manoeuvres as if intelligently controlled, and that early astronauts reported orbs from space.

Allied pilots were reporting seeing orbs flying next to their their airplanes. And they describe them um performing evasive maneuvers as if they were intelligently controlled.

Farah says he does not think anyone in a US government leadership position believes orbs are man-made, because if they were the last 100 years would have gone differently (World War II would have been won instantly).

I don't think there's anyone in a leadership position in the United States government right now that thinks orbs are man-made.

Farah lists the views on what orbs are: advanced sensors or probes from elsewhere, another form of life that has existed alongside us, or transport vehicles with something inside.

some people think they might be, as extraordinary as it sounds, another form of life that has existed alongside us and we just didn't know about them.

Farah says leading scientists in the film have worked out how UAP operate: immense energy in a localised area creates a bubble separating the craft from its environment, which explains transmedium travel, apparent speed differences and brightness.

some of the leading scientists on this reveal how they figured out they figured out how UAP work and how they're creating an immense amount of energy in a localized area

Farah says the possible origins are extraterrestrial, interdimensional (discussed within the military, intelligence and government) or a life form that has always been on Earth, and that nobody alive knows which.

the possibilities include extraterrestrial obviously from some other planet um interdimensional is something that is talked a lot about uh amongst people in our in our military intelligence community and government as a possibility.

Farah says Admiral Tim Gallaudet argues that if a more intelligent species wanted to hide from humanity the most obvious place would be our oceans, which are mapped less well than the Moon's surface, and that UAP have been reported entering and leaving the ocean for 80 years.

if I was a more intelligent species from somewhere else and I came here and I wanted to hide from humanity, the most obvious place to do it is in our oceans.

Farah says Navy fighter pilots upgraded their radar about 10 years ago and then began seeing these objects on radar; one pilot said they became 'ubiquitous', seen every day.

about 10 years ago they upgraded their their radar systems so they started seeing more stuff on their radar

Farah says Congressman Carson chaired the first UAP hearing, on the House Intelligence Committee, and says in the film that otherworldly activity comes in and out of the oceans.

He chaired the first hearing on UAP and he was on the House Committee on the CIA.

Farah says Clapper also states on camera that UAP activity over Area 51 is real, and that this was the first time Clapper participated in anything like this.

he also goes on the record and says that UAP activity over Area 51 is real.

Farah says everyone he interviewed, across party lines, said the same thing and mostly did not know each other, and that none of his off-the-record contacts in Senate leadership, the White House or intelligence leadership questioned whether it is real.

None of them is questioning, not a single person I met is questioning whether this is real.

Farah says Stratton, then head of air and space warfare at the DIA, was shown in a SCIF a video of a triangle craft hovering over a missile site and knew immediately that neither the US nor its adversaries could build it within 50 years.

that's nothing that we are even close to building in the next 50 years and none of our adversaries are.

Farah says there had been no real government UAP program since the closure of Project Blue Book, which he calls a 'BS thing' stood up to make the public think it was being investigated.

we know in hindsight that was a a BS thing. It was like stood up to make the public think we're we're looking into this.

Farah says Stratton and a colleague started a program called 'OAP' (probably AAWSAP) funded by Senator Harry Reid, the first government UAP investigation since Blue Book, which lasted a couple of years.

OAP got its funding from Senator Harry Reid and some of some of his colleagues.

Farah says staff on the OAP realised there was a deeper hidden legacy program that did not want it to exist and obstructed it with bureaucratic hurdles, until it lost funding and Stratton and colleagues continued it unofficially as 'ATIP' (AATIP), which Elizondo then joined.

the guys involved in OAP realized there was this bigger deeper program that was hidden the legacy program and that program did not want OAP to exist

Farah says the two men planned for one to go public (Elizondo) and the other to stay inside government (Stratton), and that Elizondo was attacked but got Congress's attention through mainstream media.

one of them would go public and the other would stay behind uh to move the ball forward whatever new interest got captured by the guy going public.

Farah says Stratton was told by the Secretary of Defense and the head of naval intelligence to build a whole-of-government UAP investigation, which took two years, was announced in 2020 with Stratton as director, and never actually received appropriate funding.

The Secretary of Defense and head of naval intelligence um instructed him to go build this.

Farah says the film cuts from Rubio saying contractors have gained unchecked power to Eisenhower's farewell warning about unwarranted influence of the military-industrial complex, and that Rubio says the US has arrived at what Eisenhower warned of.

Rubio is in the documentary articulating we we got there.

Farah says the first PURSUE release, on 8 May, included a 1972 Apollo lunar-module still showing what looks like a structured triangular craft with three points hovering over the Moon, and that people at NASA and the UAP Task Force ruled out lens flare and camera effects and concluded it was real.

you can see what looks like a structured triangle craft, three points hovering over the moon.

Farah says people who analysed the Apollo image told him that raising the contrast reveals a second triangle in the same frame.

when you change um the contrast on the image, you can find there's actually another triangle in the same frame.

Farah says the most recent release revealed an active FBI investigation at a specific US site with recurring UAP activity, where agents see it with their own eyes daily, film it and keep a command post, which he says he knows to be real from his own relationships within the FBI.

there's an active FBI investigation at a specific site in the US that's having reoccurring UAP activity and FBI agents are seeing it with their own eyes and and recording it on a daily basis.

Farah says the second release included a witness-based drawing, made because five credible military witnesses had no phones, of a tic-tac or potato-shaped craft over Cheyenne Mountain, with a report on the witnesses' credibility.

five very credible military witnesses all saw this with their own eyes. They didn't have um their phones on them, so they couldn't record it.

Farah says the warp-bubble barrier also explains why UAP photos and videos are blurry and distorted, like photographing koi from above the water, and that classified clear video exists, presumed taken when the bubble was off.

you're literally taking a photo through a space-time barrier, basically.

Farah says crashes could be explained by room for error in any advanced technology and by a belief among most interviewees that human activity such as atomic testing may knock craft out of their protective bubble.

Maybe you can knock a craft out of that bubble with the right circumstances.

Farah says Dr. Halpudof (probably Hal Puthoff) states in the film that some recovered craft were not crashes but were found outside military bases, as if left as gifts, perhaps to advance our technology or as an IQ test if adversaries are given gifts too.

some of the craft that have been recovered weren't crashes. They were just found outside military bases. Like they were placed there like they were given to us as a gift.
