(NewsNation) — A new UFO documentary shows U.S. intelligence officers saying they believe Russia recovered an alien spacecraft 36 years ago.

“That’s what the officials in my film go on the record stating,” “The Age of Disclosure” director and producer Dan Farah told “Elizabeth Vargas Reports.” “It was significantly larger than the Tic-Tac encountered by the (USS) Nimitz Carrier Strike Group and Commander Dave Fravor, who pursued it.”

“The Age of Disclosure,” which was released Friday, addresses what Farah calls an “80-year cover-up of the existence of nonhuman intelligent life.” The 109-minute film features interviews with more than 30 people who serve or have served in high levels of government, most notably current Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as well as figures considered authorities on the topic of UFOs and “unidentified anomalous phenomena,” aka UAPs.

One of the most examined topics of the film: the Manhattan Project.

“Previously, the most secretive program was the Manhattan Project, but we found out in hindsight that the Manhattan Project had leaks. So when this program was created, they made it even more secretive and put more security measures in place,” added Farah.

“The people in my film reveal that the elements of this program are elements of the Air Force, elements of the CIA, elements of the Department of Energy and military defense contractors.”

Doc reveals two UAPs approached US military base

One of the interviews with an intelligence official speaks about an event that happened on a U.S. military base where two UAPs approached the base.

“One of them landed, and apparently, nonhuman beings exited the craft and interacted with members of the Air Force and the CIA,” Farah said. “Now, here’s the thing: These all sound like extraordinary claims that are hard for people to wrap their heads around.

“There are 34 extremely high-level military, government intelligence officials, people who have been trusted with very high-level security clearances, people who have been involved in keeping this nation safe in many different ways, and people whom we trust. It’s really hard to ignore what these people are saying.”

Farah added the event was brought to the attention of President George W. Bush during his second term, and he was contemplating whether to share the information with the world.

“He put together a think tank,” said Farah. “One of the officials in my film was part of that think tank, and he goes on the record about it.”

“They were asked to analyze the impact on various aspects of our society, from religion to the economy. And they all went into it bullish on the idea of disclosure. And after evaluating it, they all decided it was a bad idea.”

Military analyst speaks on suffering biological effects from UAP interactions

Another stunning reveal from the film focuses on a military analyst talking about his and others’ interactions with UAPs leading to biological effects.

Farah acknowledges he was not shocked at all by the analyst’s comments.

“I say not surprising because this is technology that we don’t understand fully, that is emitting a lot of energy,” he said. “And in the same way that if you stand behind the back of a fire jet, you’re going to get hurt; he came close to one of these.”

The doc also discloses that humans have only mapped about 27% of Earth’s oceans, which Farah believes relates to senior members of the House Intelligence Committee going on record saying that the craft seen coming out of the ocean are otherworldly things. 

“They straight up say on camera, these are not rockets,” Farah said. “They’re not air. They’re moving at hundreds of miles an hour underwater, other worldly things defying physics as we know it.”
