Ross Coulthart Drops Bombshell about "The Age of Disclosure"

From viral buzz to heated TV debates, few documentaries in recent memory have landed with quite the seismic force as 'The Age of Disclosure.' Premiering at South by Southwest and now available on Prime Video and select theaters, this film directed by Dan Farah isn’t just another run-of-the-mill feature—it's rapidly becoming a cultural touchstone for one of humanity’s biggest questions: Are we alone?

The documentary dives headfirst into the shadowy world of government secrecy, whistleblower testimony, and cosmic mysteries. Featuring 34 senior government, military, and intelligence officials going on the record, it presents decades of alleged cover-ups, evidence, and revelations around Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), better known as UFOs. But more than just dropping bombshells, 'The Age of Disclosure' is starting a conversation that refuses to be ignored—one that could shake the foundations of what we think we know about reality.

Lifting the Curtain: What Makes 'The Age of Disclosure' Different

When Dan Farah set out—mostly in secret over the course of several years—to create this film, he had no way of knowing just how impactful or controversial it would someday become. What sets this documentary apart is both its scope and credibility. These aren’t just anonymous sources or conspiracy theorists; the documentary spotlights a bipartisan roster of high-ranking officials who claim direct knowledge of UAPs, secret retrieval programs, and even non-human entities. For decades, stories of government cover-ups around UFOs were relegated to tabloid headlines and late-night radio. Today, 'The Age of Disclosure' brings them into the mainstream, giving audiences access to testimony and classified details never previously made public—all while maintaining a grounded, non-sensational tone.

Many interviewees state unequivocally: humanity is not alone. There are non-human intelligences, and UAPs are real, operating in our airspace and around sensitive military sites for decades. The key question has moved away from “Is it real?” to “Who are they, and what do they want?” The documentary meticulously chronicles how knowledge about this phenomenon was pulled away from Congress—even from past presidents—and sequestered into deep corners of the intelligence apparatus and private defense contractors. This isn’t just about extraterrestrial life; it’s about decades of unchecked secrecy.

The Stakes: Technology, Secrecy, and a Race with History

One of the film’s most explosive claims is that the U.S. and other world powers have been in a covert technological arms race to reverse-engineer recovered UAP technology—a secret cold war with stakes comparable to or even exceeding the atomic age. According to multiple officials, craft and even biological material of non-human origin have been recovered, with some emphasizing that multiple species may be involved. These officials argue that vast sums of taxpayer money have been funneled into black projects without oversight, accountability, or congressional knowledge.

The implications are huge, both for science and society. If true, the film suggests that humanity is on the brink of a technological and existential shift. It also pushes hard for transparency: why should secrets that affect every person on Earth be hidden by a select few? The documentary advocates for mass amnesty for those involved in historic cover-ups, arguing that only then can society have a full, honest accounting and move forward as one.

Public Outcry, Government Response, and Where We Go from Here

The response has been electric. From major podcasters like Joe Rogan calling it groundbreaking—"disclosure on steroids"—to political leaders from both parties expressing bipartisan concern, the conversation has moved well beyond the UFO community into the mainstream. Rumors swirl about whether the White House will soon make a historic announcement. Some speculate about upcoming truth and reconciliation commissions, with the possibility of amnesty offered to those who reveal the full extent of the cover-up, following the example set in South Africa after apartheid.

Not all reviews are glowing, of course. While audiences and UFO advocates praise its bravery and revelations, some major outlets—like The New York Times—have questioned the balance between evidence and speculation. Still others point out the potential for legislative change: increased congressional oversight, transparency, and a major rethinking of government secrecy.

Despite some skepticism, 'The Age of Disclosure' is undeniably inviting average people into a conversation once reserved for the fringes. No matter your standpoint, it challenges viewers to think critically: What if the universe is teeming with life, and we’ve just been in the dark? What level of evidence do we need before demanding answers?

Beneath the Hype: What Does It All Mean for Us?

Perhaps the most powerful takeaway isn’t just the documentary’s claims but the sense of urgency it conveys. This isn’t hype for hype’s sake. 'The Age of Disclosure' casts a spotlight on the need for open dialogue, rigorous public scrutiny, and a real demand for transparency from those in power. If even part of what’s presented in the film is true, we could be entering an age where revelations about non-human intelligence redefine our place in the cosmos, our history, and our future.

But, as emphasized throughout the documentary and echoed by journalists, scientists, and policymakers: this is just the beginning. Whether the revelations lead to concrete disclosures, new legislation, or just deeper curiosity, one thing is clear—the conversation has changed forever. The question now isn’t if something happens next, but when.

Conclusion: A New Era, an Informed Public

'Age of Disclosure' throws down the gauntlet to everyone—from government officials to everyday citizens. Its message is clear: humanity deserves answers. As the movement for transparency grows, we could be witnessing the dawn of a new era—not just in UFO discourse, but in our collective willingness to question and demand accountability from those who wield power and secrets.

So, where do we go from here? Keep asking questions. Engage with the evidence. Demand honesty. Because, as the film and its chorus of voices remind us: some truths are too important to remain hidden.
