A documentary titled “The Age of Disclosure,” directed by Dan Farah, has sparked controversy by alleging a widespread government cover-up of extraterrestrial life, according to sources. The film, available for rent or purchase on Prime Video, claims that the U.S. and other nations have secretly retrieved alien technology. It features interviews with 34 current and former U.S. government, military, and intelligence community insiders, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Rubio in the film references “repeated instances of something operating in the airspace over restricted nuclear facilities, and it’s not ours. And we don’t know whose it is.” Rep. André Carson, D-Ind., praised the documentary, stating it “pieces everything together that we’ve seen on television, on film and on social media,” while adding, “There is a section in here that will bring context to all the fuzzy photos that we’ve seen.” Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., expressed hope the film would prioritize the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) issue for the Trump administration, noting, “I think we’ve had enough hearings” and it is now time for hard evidence or “receipts,” he said.
The Trump administration’s primary action relating to UAP transparency since January 2025 has been the release of a new collection of records by the National Archives in April, a measure mandated by the previous year’s legislation, rather than a new, independent Trump initiative. Bipartisan efforts in Congress toward greater transparency on UAPs have continued, with bills like the UAP Transparency Act of 2025 being introduced to mandate the release of all UAP-related government records unless a national security exemption is certified by the president. The House also held a hearing in September 2025 on the need for transparency and whistleblower protection.
The screening was held in part to push support for the legislation.
