After months of hype, the documentary that promised to rip open the secrets of non-human technology haunting our skies — and oceans — has finally been released to the public.
As of Nov. 21, you can get The Age of Disclosure on demand via Prime Video on Amazon. This is the directorial debut of Dan Farah, who produced the science fiction film Ready Player One and the fantasy series The Shannara Chronicles.
So, is this the Earth-shattering moment it has been made out to be? Like so much that we don’t understand fully, that depends on your point of view.
If you’re already immersed in the world of UAP (unidentified aerial/anomalous phenomenon, what the government now calls anything it used to label a UFO) The Age of Disclosure will serve up a heaping saucer of confirmation bias.
The cast of real-life characters — Luis Elizondo (Imminent), Jay Stratton, Travis Taylor (The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch), etc. — is already well known to you. There’s nothing new here for you and me, just the same hearsay and assertions we’ve been hearing for years at this point. “Trust No One” takes on a new bearing in this more challenging information environment.
If you’re not-so-online as some of the X-Files fans and conspiracy trackers and others among us who want to believe, some of the film’s claims will be new and surprising, if not downright unsettling.
The abstract government coverup that has faded into our collective psyche becomes a more well-defined animal here: a secret international arms race to collect and reverse-engineer exotic tech, playing out over 80 years.
For those new to this more complex state-of-play, you’re in for quite a ride. If I had to pick out one thing to highlight here, it’s the (barely mentioned) reticence of government officials to investigate this high strangeness — on religious grounds, of all things. They’d rather ignore legitimate, documented threats to the safety of flight than risk confronting the beast. “Speak of the Devil — and he shall appear!”
The truth, it seems, is still out there. The Age of Disclosure can open up this newly complex world to a wider public that doesn’t know what it needs to know … but if it does, it will just be the beginning of a long, hard conversation, with no clear end in sight.
