The Age of Disclosure
The Age of Disclosure is a 2025 American documentary film about UFOs directed and produced by Dan Farah, in which a number of former United States government officials and people associated with the disclosure movement assert that alien intelligence is present on Earth and has been subject to a decades-long government cover-up. Farah described "disclosure" as when governments could reveal withheld information about alien life, as described in UFO conspiracy theory claims. The film advances conspiracy theories concerning recovered alien materials, secret programs, and institutional secrecy by highlighting interviews with a wide ranging selection of participants including ufologists along with former and current U. S. government officials and employees from the U. S. military, the U. S. intelligence community, and the U. S. Congress. The film premiered at the 2025 South by Southwest Film & TV Festival on March 9, 2025.

- Before sharing anything on this topic, run it through the fact-checkers above.
- Check official reports (e.g. the U.S. AARO public reports).
- Most sightings have mundane explanations: satellites, balloons, drones, camera artifacts.
- If someone you know believes it, ask what evidence would change their mind, and share one good source, not ten.
Prevention steps
- StopNotice a strong emotion (anger, fear, 'they don't want you to know') before you share. Pause first.
- Investigate the sourceWho is making the claim, what's their expertise, and what do they gain if you believe it?
- Find better coverageRead laterally: open new tabs and see what independent outlets and fact-checkers say.
- Trace claims to the originFind the original study, video or document. Check dates and whether quotes are cut.
- Ask what would change your mindReal theories can be tested. If every piece of counter-evidence 'proves' the cover-up, it can't be.
- Count the peopleBig secret plots need thousands of people to stay silent for years. That rarely happens.
- Talk, don't mockWith friends or family, ask questions, listen, share your own sources calmly. Shame backfires.
