Age of Disclosure: UFO whistleblowers testified aliens are not only real but are already among us

Important Takeaways:

  • In a new documentary titled ‘The Age of Disclosure’, 34 American military and intelligence veterans claim to have direct knowledge or experience of extraterrestrials.
  • These experts allege that the United States has orchestrated an elaborate cover-up campaign to hide the worldwide race to capture and reverse-engineer alien technology.
  • Former senior intelligence official Luis Elizondo, the film’s lead subject, claims this has been ‘the most successful disinformation campaign in the history of the US government, representing 80 years of lies and deception’.
  • The documentary even features a group of bipartisan politicians including Trump’s new Secretary of State Mark Rubio and the Democratic senator for New York Kirsten Gillibrand.
  • As the title suggests, these figures argue that it is time for ‘disclosure’ from the US government, revealing the alien secrets that have supposedly been hidden.
  • The Age of Disclosure’s core argument is that UFOs, or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), are not only real but a subject worthy of serious concern.
  • The documentary’s participants jointly allege that the US has been engaging in a decades-long secret war against China and Russia to capture alien technology and alien lifeforms.
  • They argue that secretive figures within the government believe that the first country to unlock the secrets of this mysterious technology will become the leading global power for years to come.
  • However, these speakers are not the normal collection of paranoid conspiracy theorists you might expect from an alien documentary.
  • Instead, they represent a wide range of leading scientists, military, and government officials.
  • That includes Jay Stratton, former Director of the Government UAP Task Force, who claims: ‘I have seen with my own eyes non-human craft and non-human beings.’
  • Likewise, Christopher Mellon, a former Department of Defense official, opines that the truth about aliens represents ‘the biggest discovery in human history.’
  • In 2017, a New York Times investigation found the existence of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) which Luis Elizondo claims to have been a member of.
  • Increasing public pressure then led to the disclosure of several Pentagon reports confirming hundreds of UAP sightings by military personnel.
  • Critically, in 2023 this led to a major congressional hearing in which David Grusch, who led the analysis of UAP within a US defense agency, claimed that the government had taken possession of alien craft and ‘biologics’.
  • Last year, Mr. Elizondo and several other documentary participants testified before Congress about the existence of a secret UAP retrieval program.
  • Whether aliens are real or not, calls for disclosure are now an undeniable political reality which cannot simply be written off as a crack-pot theory or fringe interest.
  • Speaking in the documentary, Mr. Elizondo calls this ‘the greatest paradigm shift in human history’.
  • The documentary also discusses some of the best-known UFO sightings including the ‘Tic Tac object’ which was recorded during a flight over San Diego in 2004.
  • We learn that this object supposedly hit speeds ten times greater than America’s best aircraft are capable of before stopping on a dime – a feat deemed impossible by most.
  • The object also appeared to make other impossible maneuvers such as dropping 80,000 ft in a second and changing direction without losing speed.
  • Combined with an apparent lack of wings, markings, or exhaust plumes, the documentary concludes that this must be an alien craft.

South Korean mother given tearful VR reunion with deceased daughter

By Minwoo Park

SEOUL (Reuters) – Wearing virtual reality goggles, Jang Ji-sung burst into tears as her 7-year-old daughter, Na-yeon, emerged from behind piles of wood in a neighborhood park, her playground until she died from blood-related diseases three years ago.

“Mom, where have you been? Have you been thinking of me?” Na-yeon said, prompting a choked-up Jang to reply: “Always.”

Jang tried to reach closer, only to see her hands penetrate the virtual figure wearing her daughter’s favorite violet dress and carrying a pink purse featuring Elsa and Anna, sisters from Disney’s animated musical “Frozen”.

“I really want to touch you just once,” Jang said, her voice and hands quivering. “I really missed you.”

The tearful reunion, aired last week in a documentary by South Korean broadcaster MBC, was made possible by virtual reality (VR) technology which embodied Na-yeon in a digital avatar modeled upon a child actor using photos and memories from her mother.

The documentary, entitled “Meeting You”, struck a chord with many South Koreans while highlighting the growing scope of the new technology beyond gaming.

“People would often think that technology is something that’s cold. We decided to participate to see if technology can comfort and warm your heart when it is used for people,” said Lee Hyun-suk, director of the Seoul-based VIVE Studios, who led the project.

Kim Jong-woo, who produced the documentary, said he focused on “remembering” Na-yeon instead of recreating her, so Jang and her family would feel as if her daughter had lived on.

For Jang, her last wish was to tell Na-yeon she loved her and has never forgotten her.

“It’s heartbreaking that her time has stopped at the age of 7,” Jang said, with a faint smile. “But I was so happy to see her that way.”

Kremlin critic wants film to open West’s eyes about Putin’s Russia

VENICE, Italy (Reuters) – Kremlin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky hopes a new documentary film about his life chronicling his journey from being Russia’s richest man to an exiled dissident will open the West’s eyes to the nature of modern Russia.

The film, “Citizen K”, was made by Oscar-winning U.S. filmmaker Alex Gibney and premiered at the Venice Film festival this weekend. It was based on more than 24 hours of interviews that Khodorkovsky, who is now based in Britain, gave over a period of months.

It tells the story of Khodorkovsky’s dramatic 2003 arrest on an icy Siberian runway by armed men and his fall from grace, punishment for what he and his supporters believe was his interest in Russian politics and fighting corruption.

The bespectacled tycoon, then head of the now defunct Yukos oil company, went on to serve a decade in jail on fraud charges he says were politically motivated before being freed in 2013 after President Vladimir Putin pardoned him.

“Today’s Kremlin regime has learned the art of window dressing very well, but it’s important to understand that behind these beautiful windows there is not just an ordinary authoritarian state but a real mafia, which has taken over this state,” Khodorkovsky, 56, told Reuters.

“If we look at how these methods are applied in relation to the West, we will see corruption, blackmail, compromising materials and even violence. While negotiating with the current Russian regime the West should understand it’s dealing with a criminal organization.”

Russia, which rejects his criticism as false, has issued an international arrest warrant for Khodorkovsky, accusing him of ordering at least one successful contract killing in the 1990s, something Khodorkovsky denies.

Putin has said he regards the former businessman as a common thief, while Russian authorities have moved to curb the activities of Open Russia, a pro-democracy movement founded by Khodorkovsky.

“A VERY TALENTED KGB GUY”

In “Citizen K,” Khodorkovsky says he misread Putin when the former Soviet intelligence officer first came to power.

“It seemed to me ideologically that he was one of us. A person who gets it and wants to push Russia in the same direction that we want to. That is towards openness, towards democracy,” said Khodorkovsky.

“Boy was I mistaken. He’s a very talented KGB guy.”

Despite living in Britain, Khodorkovsky said he “lived for Russia” and that it occupied his thoughts for 12 out of every 16 waking hours a day, adding that he and his supporters were acutely aware of the risks they ran.

“If the Kremlin decides to kill somebody, it is very difficult for this person to avoid this fate,” he said, a reference to allegations that Moscow has assassinated some of its critics abroad, a charge the Kremlin flatly rejects.

“I tell all my colleagues that the only thing we can do for you is to help you not to be forgotten, as I was not forgotten during 10 years in prison. But it will be difficult, or even impossible, to save you if anything happens.”
