Director Dan Farah, influenced by his childhood fascination with extraterrestrial themes in pop culture, has embarked on a significant journey of inquiry. His debut documentary, *The Age of Disclosure*, asserts that the United States has concealed crucial details about unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), previously known as UFOs, from the public for decades.

In *The Age of Disclosure*, Farah presents the idea that the government has maintained a veil of secrecy surrounding UAP technology. He features Luis Elizondo, a former Pentagon official and key figure in the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), who alleges the military has hidden vital information from citizens.
