Unidentified flying objects and Area 51 are conspiracy theories no more.
Director Dan Farah interviewed 34 government officials who validate the existence of visitors from space in The Age of Disclosure. He told Deadline’s Matt Carey at Contenders Documentary event that it no longer is just about confirming their existence of UFOs, now described as “unidentified aerial phenomena.”
“Elements of the U.S. government are in a high-stakes secret Cold War race with adversarial nations to reverse engineer this technology of non-human origin,” Farah said. “One intelligence official refers to this secret race as the Manhattan Project on steroids because the stakes are so much more significant than what’s at stake with nuclear weapons.”
Some of those UAPs have informed Earth’s scientists about the technology of space travel across light years.
“The breakthrough technology at the core of the flight performance characteristics we all see is that they are essentially harnessing an immense amount of energy in a localized area and they’re creating a warp bubble in a localized area,” Farah said. “They’re warping space time in a localized area around the craft. So these craft are operating within that bubble, and that bubble separates them from the environment around them.”
Jim Clapper confirms Area 51 in the film, but there is far more alien activity than the big events popularized by science fiction.
“There is a lot of daily activity that is happening, and it really is the biggest issue of our time,” Farah said. “But as the film shows, the truth about this situation has been covered up from public, been kept from Congress and even been kept from sitting presidents.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio tells Farah in the film that presidents are on a need-to-know basis regarding aliens. Those let into the circle often are defense contractors, who might even be harboring bodies of visitors.

The Legacy Project includes defense contractors, the CIA, Air Force and Department of Energy. Since the 1940s The Legacy Project has been collecting and reverse engineering UAPs — but also making sure nobody seriously investigated.
“A long time ago, they started creating a stigma around this topic that they put out into society, a way to avoid people wanting to look into it,” Farah said. “The easiest way to get people to avoid looking into a topic, to get the media to avoid looking at a topic is to make people think you’d be nutty if you did, right? To put out this like giggle factor, this cultural stigma around it.”
Clapper and Rubio’s participation opened the doors to other officials, who have kept quiet due to threats on their career were they to disclose their firsthand experiences.

“I assured them I understood how serious this was and that I wouldn’t sensationalize it for the sake of sensationalizing it,” Farah said. “I would only interview people who have direct knowledge of this topic as a result of working for the government so that the bar was set there at this credible level of people who truly know what they’re talking about.”
