Colin is joined by Dan Farah, the producer and director of the new documentary The Age of Disclosure They dive into the stunning revelations behind The Age of Disclosure, his new documentary on UAPs and the decades-long retrieval programs operating outside congressional oversight. Farah explains the moment he realized just how extraordinary the story was—the subjects’ accounts all lined up, people only felt safe speaking out together, and evidence pointed to an 80-year effort by the U.S., China, and Russia to locate and study advanced craft. He and Colin discuss why the public deserves transparency, the trillion-dollar scale of the program, and why credible officials—from military base contacts to former intelligence leaders like James Clapper—are now willing to put their reputations on the line. Farah walks through some of the most dramatic moments in the documentary: football-field-sized craft at nuclear bases, physical harm reported by people who got too close, and the “bubble” theory that explains how these objects warp spacetime and evade photography. The conversation explores underwater UAP activity, misguided attempts to engage the craft militarily, and the slow drip of official disclosures—including claims of recovered bodies and technology. Colin even shares his own childhood UFO sighting, as Farah argues that The Age of Disclosure is only the beginning of what the public is about to learn.
