SXSW documentary 'The Age of Disclosure' features 34 military and intelligence veterans with direct UAP knowledge — documented evidence
INVESTIGATING

In March 2025, the documentary 'The Age of Disclosure' premiered at the SXSW film festival, featuring interviews with 34 military and intelligence veterans who claim direct knowledge of or experience with UAPs. The film presents firsthand testimony from individuals across multiple branches of the military and intelligence community, building on the momentum of Congressional hearings and whistleblower disclosures. Former AARO director Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, who resigned from his position, characterized the claims as driven by 'persistent conspiratorial leanings held by people at the highest levels of government.' The documentary's premiere drew significant media attention and reignited public debate about government transparency on UAPs.
