I saw Dan Farah’s ‘The Age of Disclosure’ earlier in the year. Quite honestly, if there’s any documentary that can convince you that UFOs do exist, it’s probably this one. I’ll admit it — I was a total skeptic until I watched it. I’m not 100% convinced, but it makes a strong case.
Regardless, the film is on VOD, and Deadline reports that within its first 48 hours of release on Prime Video, ‘The Age of Disclosure’ has already broken the streaming service’s record for highest-grossing documentary. In fact, it was #1 for its first eight days, easily outperforming every blockbuster movie available on the platform, including ‘One Battle After Another,’ ‘Jurassic World: Rebirth,’ ‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning,’ and more.
The doc, Farah’s debut feature, dives headlong into what it calls “an 80-year global cover-up of non-human intelligent life,” alleging a decades-long arms race among world powers to reverse-engineer extraterrestrial tech. The film isn’t shy about its ambitions — or its sources. “The Age of Disclosure” features testimony from 34 members of the U.S. government, military, and intelligence communities, including a few former CIA directors, all asserting that humanity’s biggest secret has been hiding in plain sight.
Among the talking heads is Jay Stratton, the former director of the Pentagon’s UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) Task Force. Stratton claims:
I have seen, with my own eyes, non-human craft and non-human beings.
The documentary contains even bolder assertions than that. Some claims are so extraordinary that they raise questions about whether the intelligence officers interviewed might have their own agendas. One even alleges, on camera, that the military has been in direct contact with beings found inside the recovered craft.
Farah is said to have spent three years developing the film in strict secrecy, tracking down insiders willing to speak publicly. It’s similar ground to the project Joseph Kosinski is tackling for Apple TV — a forthcoming drama inspired by former U.S. Air Force officer David Grusch, who testified before Congress that the government has been studying alien craft and bodies while keeping the information from the public.
Given all this, the digital success of The Age of Disclosure shouldn’t come as a shock. Its first teaser went viral almost immediately, amassing over 20 million views across social platforms and fueling speculation that this might be the documentary capable of reshaping the conversation.
