The mystery of peculiar, unidentified objects frequently seen in the skies has puzzled the public for decades, largely kept under wraps by official classification.

Now, a new documentary titled “The Age of Disclosure” aims to lift this veil of secrecy.

Director Dan Farah shared with Fox News’ Bret Baier, “For many years, this topic was kept hidden from the public, Congress, and even the president. However, thanks to whistleblowers, senior members of Congress and the administration have recently become aware of the situation. They are now actively seeking the truth for both themselves and the American people.”

Spanning three years of production, the documentary presents interviews with 34 top U.S. government officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio. It seeks to unveil what is claimed to be an “80-year global cover-up” concerning the potential existence of non-human intelligence on other planets.

The film “The Age of Disclosure,” directed by Dan Farah, incorporates discussions with 34 senior U.S. officials, shedding light on an alleged 80-year government effort to conceal evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence.

“Every single person I interviewed made it very clear that it was no longer a question of whether this was a real situation,” Farah said. “It’s a very real situation.”

Farah added that the interviewees featured in the film each had “direct knowledge of this issue,” while insisting each individual has “extreme credibility.” 

In the film’s trailer, Rubio can be heard revealing details about unknown objects spotted over sensitive military areas.

“We’ve had repeated instances of something operating in the airspace over restricted nuclear facilities, and it’s not ours,” Rubio said. 

The film comes at a time when public discourse regarding the existence of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena – or UAPs – have reached the highest levels of government, with discussions surrounding the classification of information often making its way to the floor of Congress. 

Farah’s film says the U.S. government is involved in a “high-stakes, secret Cold War race with adversarial nations like China and Russia” to investigate objects that have not originated from humans.

“What really stood out to me about ‘Age of Disclosure’ is the large number of military and intelligence officials who are going on the record saying that not only do aliens or UFOs exist, but that we have a very active program of retrieving this technology and attempting to reverse-engineer it,” Kent Heckenlively, author of “Catastrophic Disclosure,” told Fox News Digital. 

The information is corroborated by high-level officials featured within the documentary, with Jay Stratton, a former Defense Intelligence Agency official and director of the government’s UAP Task Force, revealing just how high the stakes are in this otherworldly race. 

“The first country that cracks the code on this technology will be the leader for years to come,” Stratton said in the film’s trailer.

For a topic that has notoriously been shielded from the public’s eye, Heckenlively applauded the film’s effort to hold the government accountable when it comes to transparency about UAP discoveries. 

“I think that any rational person who watches this movie has to come to one of two conclusions,” Heckenlively said. “Either this is a complete and total psychological operation by the government on the current population, or there has been a tremendous psychological operation against the public in the past. At some point in history, the government has been lying to us. The question is, is that just in the past, or is that now?”

Farah echoed the same sentiment, telling Baier that members of Congress and the Trump administration are working to break through decades of government officials refusing to release information to the public.

“Now we have leaders in Congress and in the administration that are trying to get to the bottom of it, and there are people in this film who are respected in their fields who say they have seen these craft and have seen the recovered non-human bodies,” Farah said.

Farah did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

In light of the new revelations staring down the American public, Heckenlively remains hopeful that the information will be received not with panic, but with curiosity. 

“I think that the human race would do a lot of growing up if we found out we lived in a very crowded neighborhood,” he said. “We would be curious, we’d want to fit in. I think we would up our game if we knew that there were species out there that didn’t have some of the negatives associated with the human race.”

“My suspicion is that if these aliens do exist, they’ve gone through a lot of the same growing pains that we have, and they may not want to share that. So there may be some advantage to keeping themselves mysterious to our greater world. I’m somewhat suspect of why these aliens have not revealed themselves, but I’m open to the possibility that there may be a good explanation.” 

“The Age of Disclosure” is playing in select theaters in New York, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles, and is also available worldwide to purchase or rent on Amazon Prime Video.
