The Age of Disclosure, or Not?

We are rapidly approaching the release date of the most recent documentary on UFOs/UAPs, called “The Age of Disclosure” by Dan Farah, highlighting Lue Elizondo and interviews with current and former US officials and their claims that the government has been working on reverse engineering UFO technology for 80 years.

In 2023, when David Grusch came forward with claims of secret government programs to reverse engineer alien tech, the Pentagon and AARO responded that there was no verifiable evidence of such programs, and that he failed to provide “proof” of his claims.

At the time, we made a blog post on our website, about Col. Philip Corso, and his 1989 book, “The Day After Roswell.” We believed that Grusch is this generation’s Corso. Like Grusch, Corso was attacked as providing no “proof”, that his military service records were different than his claims and that he exaggerated his career, in attempts to discredit what he said in his book.

Lue Elizondo has likewise been accused of overstating his program access, discrepancies in his claims, and perhaps, because of his involvement in counterintelligence, is a narrative handler or involved in a psy-op regarding UFOs. Grusch was also, similarly, accused of this last claim.

There is a decades long pattern in the government discrediting to obscure its development programs. For years, people who witnessed test flights of aircraft like the U-2 and B-2 were told they were seeing weather balloons until the government was ready to disclose the existence of these aircraft. The government is expert in discrediting “conspiracy theories” until they are ready to disclose that they are actually real.

With respect to our elected officials, we have seen the videos of Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna word salads, whether on The Joe Rogan Experience, or interviewed elsewhere, where she talks a lot and says nothing. Likewise with other elected officials who say something to the effect of “I was showed some stuff in a SCIF that I can’t tell you about.” That is not disclosure, either.

Unacknowledged Special Access Programs and Waived Unacknowledged Special Access Programs avoid Congressional oversight, and their funding is obscured. They are not in the purview of these elected officials, either inside or outside of a SCIF. That the Pentagon/DoD has not passed a financial audit in the last seven years is a feature, not a bug. There are trillions of dollars missing over the decades that may have funded attempted reverse-engineering programs and UFO studies, not into $100 wrenches and $1,000 toilet seats.

Will this new documentary really pull the cover off these programs? Will we finally learn about what was really happening at TRW’s Space Park in Redondo Beach or Lockheed/Northrop Grumman’s skunkworks in Palmdale? Are we going to get disclosure about what went to Wright-Patterson in the 1940’s and when and how it was used? At a minimum, will we get confirmation that alien technology was sprinkled, as Corso claimed, into the military-industrial complex for development, ownership and patent protection, effectively blocking Congressional oversight? And finally, might we learn that orbs are real, and the government’s contractors have been trying to replicate them for years?

Just for fun, we went back and watched “Close Encounters of a Third Kind”, which was inspired by, and sprinkled with, so much of what had been reported historically about UFO sightings, from Project Blue Book and subsequent reports, including the sunburns, abductions and what the ships and creatures looked like. We had to laugh when the main characters arrive at the military base camp and the crates are stenciled with Lockheed and TRW. Nice touch. There was a lot of other “inside baseball” in that movie, including the portrayal of a character like Jacques Vallée and the cameo appearance of Dr. J. Allen Hynek among the scientists viewing the experience at Devils Tower. These hat tips to the “conspiracy theories” and real people involved in disclosure make the movie more entertaining.

Will “The Age of Disclosure” entertain us with something meaningfully new or only rehash what has been covered so many times in the past? We are looking forward to finding out, once it starts to stream.
