Filmmaker: Existence of UFOs ‘no longer a question’ as doc probes 80 years of secrets

A filmmaker behind a documentary allegedly exposing an “80-year global cover-up” of extraterrestrial existence claimed that the U.S. government is part of a “secret Cold War race” to reverse engineer extraterrestrial technology.

Director and producer Dan Farah, who also produced the sci-fi blockbuster Ready Player One, told Fox News’ Bret Baier that his newest film, The Age of Disclosure leans into work already done by government whistleblowers – and even feature interviews with high-ranking officials like Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

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

Farah claimed that a majority of those within the US government, including Congress and the president, “have been kept out of the loop” while other powers that be ran a secret race to “reverse engineer technology of non-human origins,” all in competition with “adversarial nations” like Russia and China.

“In the last few years, senior members of Congress, senior members of the administration – thanks to whistleblowers – have found out what’s been going on, and they are now in pursuit of the truth for themselves and for the American people,” Farah told the network.

Farah said that each person he interviewed over the three years spent making the film – including a whopping 34 senior members of the U.S. government, military and intelligence community – all had “direct knowledge of this issue” with “extreme credibility.”

Some even appear in the trailer, including Rubio, who alludes to mystery entities entering “airspace over restricted nuclear facilities,” and former Defense Intelligence Agency senior executive Jay Stratton.

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

Farah echoed Stratton’s alarm and asserted that joking about the power and source of UAPs, or Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, is “the equivalent of laughing at a terroristic threat.”

“The fear here is that if another nation wins this race, it could really change the lay of the land in terms of power,” Farah told the outlet. Farah additionally called the new-age UAP race “the Manhattan Project on steroids.”

The United States’ secret testing and production of nuclear weapons during World War II was codenamed the Manhattan Project. The U.S.’ show of force in dropping nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which effectively crippled that leg of the Axis Powers, also served as a precursor to the Cold War.

Farah decided to end on a bright note, though, and suggested that Donald Trump may likely be the first commander-in-chief to speak openly about the phenomena and alleged decades-long coverup.

“I think it’s only a matter of time at this point before we have a sitting president step to the microphone and have the biggest moment a leader can possibly have, which is telling all of humanity that we’re not alone in the universe and that the United States intends to lead the way,” Farah told.
