UFOs are out there and the Government knows it
It seemed that the times of documentaries about ufology and sightings of flying saucers had passed away, but nothing like a bit of conspiracies and encounters in the third phase to liven up the sales charts. This documentary, without support from any entertainment corporation, has climbed to the top of the best-selling and rented charts in just a few days. A truly strange phenomenon. What happened. Just two days after its launch for sale and rental on Prime Video in the United States (at the moment it is not with the platform’s general on-demand rate) the documentary ‘The Age of Disclosure’ established an unprecedented brand: No other non-fiction release had generated as much revenue in a comparable period. The film directed by Dan Farah toppled the brand held until then by ‘Free Solo’, the acclaimed Oscar-winning documentary about ropeless climbing by Alex Honnold and which you can watch on Disney+. The record. ‘The era of disclosure‘ not only dominated specific documentary categories, but simultaneously held the number one and two positions on the overall platform-wide sales and rental charts during its first eight days of availability. The truly amazing is that this commercial dominance occurred in direct competition with releases from major studios such as ‘Mission: Impossible – Final Judgment‘, ‘One battle after another’ and ‘Tron: Ares’, among others. What is it about? Dan Farah, who had produced things like ‘Ready Player One’, made his directorial debut with this project that took three years to complete, always under strict secrecy. After passing through festivals and a very limited exhibition in theaters at the beginning of the year, it began to arouse unusual interest (reflected in figures such as a trailer with 22 million views) and ended up on Prime Video. It raises the existence of a clandestine government program that for eight decades would have recovered and attempted to reverse engineer technology of non-terrestrial origin. Farah maintains that the main world powers maintain a silent competition to decipher these artifacts. The list of interviewees, totaling 34 people familiar with the subject, includes Marco Rubio, current Secretary of State of the United States; Kirsten Gillibrand and Mike Rounds, both senators active on intelligence committees; and James Clapper, former Director of Intelligence under the Obama administration. turning point. Renewed interest in UFOs has a specific date and explain massive success of the documentary. On July 26, 2023, the House Homeland Security Subcommittee organized a session in which David Gruschformer Department of Defense employee, declared under oath that during the exercise of his official duties he had received information about the existence of an initiative lasting several decades dedicated to recovering and studying ships of non-human origin. Grusch claimed to have conducted interviews with approximately forty people linked to these projects over a four-year period, who provided him with photographic evidence, official documentation, and classified accounts. The most shocking moment of his appearance came when, questioned by Congresswoman Nancy Mace, he confirmed that authorities with first-hand knowledge had informed him of the recovery of non-human biological materials in some of these alleged accidents. Not everyone is happy. The reception of ‘The Age of Disclosure’ puts the fracture between critics and public. On Rotten Tomatoesonly 30% of professional reviews rated the work favorably, while the public gave it a notable 92%. Among the fiercest critics are that of The New York Times which adopts a particularly skeptical stance on what the documentary tells or The Hollywood Reporterwhich posits that the documentary treats the claims as established facts and do not require additional corroboration.
