The Age of Disclosure: A Documentary that Brings Aliens into the Public Eye

(Minghui.org) The Age of Disclosure, a documentary directed and produced by Dan Farah was first screened in the South by Southwest Film Festival (SXSW) on March 9, 2025, and was then released in theaters and Amazon Prime on November 21, 2025. Based on interviews with 34 current and former officials from the U.S. government, military and intelligence officials, it discussed UFOs and other alien intelligence on earth.

Narrated by a former US Department of Defense employee Luis Elizondo, this film contains interviews with Christopher Mellon (former acting Secretary of Defense), Jay Stratton (former director of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, UAPTF), and others.

Interviewees claim that a secret government program investigated and concealed evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence for more than 80 years. The focus of these investigations is the existence of non-human intelligence life and the impact on mankind. The documentary says this is based on fact, not speculation, so this information should be disclosed to the public.

The film’s core message is a call for mankind to recognize that we are not an isolated species in the universe, and a warning that prolonged government concealment could lead to an imbalance in global competition.

Key messages include:

* Confirmation of non-human intelligent life: Extraterrestrial civilizations have been in contact with earth for decades. The U.S. government has been aware of their existence since the Roswell incident in 1947 with Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) and biological remains recovered. These entities possess technology beyond human capabilities, enabling them to warp time and space while traveling in “bubbles”. They have violated existing principles of physics (such as instantly accelerating to 10 times the speed of sound or descending vertically 80,000 feet).

* An 80-year government cover-up: For decades, the U.S. Department of Defense and other agencies have run secret projects (such as “The Legacy Program”) to investigate and conceal UAP evidence. The cover-up has not only aimed at avoiding public panic and social unrest, but also prevented witnesses from publicizing the information.

* A global technology race: Major powers like the United States, China, and Russia are secretly racing to reverse engineer extraterrestrial technology in order to win in the global competition. Referred as a “Manhattan Project on steroids”, the first nation to crack this could dominate for centuries to come. The recovered technology has already permeated modern aerospace and engineering innovations, but the details are highly classified.

The documentary includes specific events and evidence. For example, during the 2004 “Tic Tac” UFO incident, the U.S. military officers witnessed wingless objects with no exhaust emissions, moving at extreme speeds. Furthermore, a classified congressional testimony from a former Air Force and intelligence officer confirmed U.S. recovered non-human origin aircraft and biological remains.

The documentary has received mixed reviews. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the audience popcorn meter rating is 93% based on more than 500 user ratings. The Guardian reviewer Adrian Horton described the film as, “The most serious and sourced documentary on the government's handling of UAP information to date.”

When he was asked, Mr. Li Hongzhi, founder of Falun Dafa, also spoke of aliens. In September 1998, he said, “Let me first explain what alien beings are all about. You know that this Earth isn’t the only planet with life in this universe, and Earth hasn’t existed just this once.” (“Teachings at the Conference in Switzerland”)

In the same lecture, he also mentioned the divine would not allow aliens to replace or eliminate mankind.

It takes time and courage to know truth. The documentary of The Age of Disclosure provides us with new insights into the world we are living in.
