The documentary The Age of Disclosure, directed by Dan Farah, premiered March 9, 2025 at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin. Its pitch: 34 current and former senior members of the U.S. government, military and intelligence community, on camera, describing what they call an 80-year cover-up of non-human intelligence.

The interviewees include former Pentagon official Luis Elizondo, Jay Stratton, a former Defense Intelligence Agency official who led the government’s UAP Task Force, and physicist Hal Puthoff. Coverage of the film notes that Marco Rubio also appears. Participants say there is documented evidence of craft that seem to defy known physics and interfere with nuclear and military sites. They also allege a secret race between the U.S. and its adversaries to reverse-engineer recovered material. Puthoff argues that handing programs to private contractors shields them from Freedom of Information Act requests.

No new physical evidence is shown. Participants say most of it remains classified, so the film’s weight rests on who is speaking rather than on anything a viewer can check. Critics have asked why, if the testimony is as explosive as claimed, it hasn’t changed more. The film was released nationwide in November 2025.
