THE AGE OF DISCLOSURE (2025)
Directed by Dan Farah and narrated by former Pentagon official Luis "Lue" Elizondo, The Age of Disclosure assembles 34 U.S. government, military, and intelligence-community insiders — among them Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Mike Rounds, and former DNI James Clapper — arguing that a decades-long cover-up has concealed evidence of non-human intelligence. After its 2025 Prime Video release it broke the platform's record for highest-grossing documentary and landed on the Academy's list of Oscar-eligible films. Whatever you make of its thesis, it pushed the conversation onto the public record.
THE WIDER WAVE
It did not start there. The Phenomenon (2020) and Moment of Contact (2022), both by journalist James Fox, walked through decades of cases and the 1996 Varginha incident; a steady run of streaming series has followed. The pattern is consistent: the films interpret, dramatize, and sequence — but the load-bearing material is always the same footage and documents the government itself released.
READ THE PRIMARY SOURCE
The most useful thing a viewer can do is go to the source. The Navy sensor videos, the congressional testimony, and the agency case files the documentaries lean on are exactly what the PURSUE release publishes — and Umbra indexes and renders that record natively. Watch the film, then read the file it was built on, on your iPhone.
