The Age of Disclosure (2025)

The Age of Disclosure is a groundbreaking documentary that investigates an alleged 80-year cover-up regarding the existence of non-human intelligent life and secret government efforts to reverse-engineer extraterrestrial technology. Directed by Dan Farah, the film features revealing interviews with 34 senior U.S. government, military, and intelligence officials who share firsthand accounts of unexplained anomalous phenomena (UAP) and the secrecy surrounding them.

*This documentary, "The Age Of Disclosure",  premiered at the SXSW film festival on March 9th, 2025. Currently there is no option to stream online but there are rumors it will be available to stream later this year.*

The documentary delves into decades of government secrecy concerning UAPs, presenting testimonies from high-ranking officials who claim that evidence of non-human intelligence has been intentionally concealed from the public. It explores the far-reaching implications of these revelations—ranging from national security concerns to potential technological breakthroughs and a radical shift in our understanding of humanity’s place in the universe.

Moment of Contact (2023)

Moment of Contact is a 2023 documentary by UFO filmmaker James Fox that investigates one of the most famous alleged UFO incidents in history—the Varginha UFO Incident in Brazil. This event, often referred to as "Brazil's Roswell," supposedly took place in January 1996, when multiple witnesses, including military personnel and local civilians, claimed to have encountered a crashed UFO and non-human entities.

According to reports, several strange humanoid creatures were seen in the town after a UFO allegedly crashed, and the Brazilian military was said to have secretly transported both the craft and beings to an undisclosed facility.

Fox’s investigation includes new firsthand testimonies, declassified information, and attempts to confront officials for answers. The film paints a compelling picture of a possible government cover-up, comparing it to the Roswell incident in the United States.

Key Themes in the Documentary:

  • Eyewitness accounts of small, brown-skinned beings with large heads and red eyes

  • Reports of military involvement in recovering bodies and materials

  • Allegations that the Brazilian government and U.S. agencies were involved in suppressing the truth

  • Medical reports suggesting that a Brazilian military officer died after handling one of the beings

Notable Interviews & Participants

  • Witnesses who saw the alleged beings in 1996

  • Military officials who claimed to be part of the operation

  • Dr. Roger Leir (archival footage) – A researcher known for investigating alien implants

  • Brazilian journalists & UFO researchers who have spent decades collecting evidence

Synopsis

In A Tear in the Sky, Caroline Cory and her team employ advanced military-grade equipment, such as radars, infrared cameras, and radiation detectors, to analyze the skies over Catalina Island and the Southern California coast—an area linked to multiple UAP sightings, including the famous 2004 USS Nimitz "Tic Tac" encounter.

The documentary captures strange aerial anomalies and even suggests the possibility of wormholes or "tears" in spacetime. Using real-time observations, the film attempts to provide scientific validation of UAPs rather than speculation.

Key Findings & Themes

  • Scientific Approach to UAPs – Unlike most UFO documentaries, A Tear in the Sky relies on measurable data and physics-based experiments.

  • USS Nimitz Tic-Tac UFO Case – Revisits the 2004 encounter, where U.S. Navy pilots reported a Tic Tac-shaped UFO performing impossible maneuvers.

  • Live UAP Detection – The team records unexplained objects appearing and disappearing in ways that defy conventional physics.

  • Wormholes & Spacetime Anomalies – Some findings suggest potential distortions in space-time, hinting at an exotic propulsion system.

Cast & Featured Experts

  • Caroline Cory – Director, Producer, and Host

  • William Shatner – Narrator (Star Trek actor, science advocate)

  • Michio Kaku – Theoretical physicist, futurist

  • Kevin Day – Former U.S. Navy Senior Chief, USS Princeton radar operator (witness to the 2004 Nimitz UFO event)

  • Gary Voorhis – U.S. Navy Petty Officer, USS Princeton (2004 Nimitz UFO event)

  • David Mason – Scientist and technology expert

  • Travis Taylor – Physicist, aerospace engineer (known for work on Skinwalker Ranch)

  • Jason Turner – Astrophysicist

Where to Watch

A Tear in the Sky is available for streaming on:

  • Amazon Prime Video

  • Apple TV

  • Google Play Movies

  • Vudu

Why It’s Different from Other UFO Documentaries

  • Unlike documentaries based on eyewitness accounts, A Tear in the Sky focuses on real-time, scientifically recorded data.

  • It suggests that UAPs may not just be physical objects but could involve advanced physics, space-time anomalies, or interdimensional phenomena.

  • The film brings together scientists, military experts, and tech professionals rather than just UFO enthusiasts.
