Hi, everyone, and welcome back to That UFO Podcast. My name is Andy, and this is my review of the Age of Disclosure documentary. Yes, it's finally here. It's finally released. And, of course, spoiler alert, folks. I'm not going to be reading through word for word everything that is said in this documentary, but I am going to give you my thoughts on some of the key call-outs that I think are important. I'm going to go through some of the background to the documentary. I'll talk through some of the big moments in the documentary. I'll give my initial thoughts afterwards. Bear in mind, I've only just watched the documentary, like many of you, in the last 24 hours. It came out on Friday, the 21st of November. On Amazon Prime, it's available to buy, and it's also now available to rent. Folks, in the UK, to buy, it was like £18, £19, around about $27, $28. It's available to rent now for about £15, which is about $20. So price point I've discussed at length before. It's out there now. If you want to watch it, you can. I would always encourage folks, if possible, to support people who make this type of content. It took up to three years, I think Dan Farrah has said across various interviews, to put this together. And I think that's also something worth remembering as you watch it. This isn't a documentary set in 2025. It's been released in 2025. But we're never going to know for sure unless Dan Farrah comes out and says it. But this documentary was filmed over the course of three years, and a lot has changed in that time, including the people. What I'm going to do is touch on who's in the documentary, for those unsure. I'm going to read through the call-outs, like I say. It's still the opening weekend of the documentary. It's had a limited cinema release across a few states. I believe Washington, New York, and Los Angeles. If you've attended one of those, some of you have been in touch, please drop me a message and let me know how that was. I'd love to speak to you around that. But yeah, what I'll do is I'll do this review. Again, spoilers if you don't want to hear things that are in the documentary. And then in the coming days, you're going to hear a follow-up show where I'll cover some of the media review, potentially with a guest. Looking at the media reviews, the David Grush interview, looking at the Dan Farrah appearance on Joe Rogan. And just today, Need to Know has released an episode. Richard Dolan and Bryce Zabel, of course. They co-authored the book together, folks. Big fan of both. And they have shared their thoughts. A lot of this stuff I haven't had the chance to either watch or fully digest yet. I've watched the documentary. It's been a busy weekend. I had a hell of a busy day on Friday when it came out. So yeah, I did manage to watch it. But let's dig into it. So like I say, folks, this film was formally showcased back at South by Southwest Film Festival in March of this year. So eight months ago, this film was shown to the public in a limited screening at that festival, which is used to pitch various movies, documentaries and whatnot to distributors and such. People thought it was going to come out a lot quicker than it has. Is that by design? Is it because of reasons? We don't completely know. There's all kind of rumors going around. But yeah, it's been around there for a while now. The documentary's been out. And since then, people in Congress and the Senate and others have also seen it. They didn't hand out screeners to folks in the media like myself and others. It's been quite high level, but it has been shown. I'll share my thoughts. It's better than I expected, which is a good, a thumbs up, a positive. Like I said, released on the 21st of November, 2025, limited theatrical run in the United States, and production took around three years. It was one of those we heard about a couple of years ago. I think Dave Fravor mentioned a massive documentary coming that was going to blow the lid off of things. I'm paraphrasing. I believe that was on Joe Rogan. Other folks have mentioned across various interviews at different times, there is a documentary in the pipeline. This is clearly what they were getting at, folks. So, who is in it? And I think for most of us, you're going to know most of the cast. But what I want to do is just kind of run through a lot of the names. There are 34 individuals, and I'm going to cover quite a few of them with a very quick blurb. Because you might be listening to this just getting into the UFO topic and not being completely sure who a lot of these folks are. So, I'm going to read it in the sense that you're coming into this from a fresh perspective and who these people are. And if you're well-versed in the topic and you know Luis Elizondo, Jay Stratton, you know them through interviews with myself, media, other podcasts, you know, books. For example, Luis Elizondo is essentially the main character of the documentary. He narrates it. Luis Elizondo is a former U.S. military intelligence officer. He led AATIP, the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. And he became the public face of the U.S. government's UAP investigation, largely since 2017. Of course, his book, Imminent, has since come out. He drops that right at the end of the documentary. He gets that word in there. Jay Stratton is a retired Navy and DIA senior intelligence exec, one of the highest-ranking officials. Our early clips, there was a big statement made by Jay Stratton that a lot of folks talked about. I talked about it, poured over it. And that statement was said here. I'll get to that within the body of the documentary. And that was one I was really looking forward to seeing how it was framed. Hal Puthoff is a quantum physicist and former chief scientist at AATIP, known for his research into exotic propulsion and scientific elements of unidentified aerial phenomena. Chris Mellon, huge name, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence. And he helped declassify and publicize military UAP encounters, bringing them into mainstream awareness. In the background, a lot of work's been done by people like Chris Mellon to bring this subject forward. James Clapper was a huge name attached to this documentary. He is the former Director of National Intelligence, whose participation in the UAP disclosure conversation has added some raised eyebrows, but also a real high-level credibility, I suppose, depending on how you look at James Clapper. When we look at lying under oath and how important is this stuff being said in hearings under oath, James Clapper, I believe, lied under oath once when it came to tapping of phones of U.S. citizens. That was quite a big deal around 10, 11 years ago. And he made a statement which turned out to be false. He had to clarify that himself to say it basically wasn't true. But he answered it like a true politician or government official. Marco Rubio, who at the time was a U.S. senator, now serving as U.S. Secretary of State in the Trump administration. He is an acting National Security Advisor. He's one of the most senior officials in this documentary. For me, outside of the U.S., I look at Rubio as potential future president down the line, potentially. I don't know if that's the case, but just from the outside looking in, he could be a huge name attached to this subject to get involved. Kirsten Gillibrand is a senator who has authored major UAP legislation, oversight, and chairs a committee on shaping government transparency on aerial phenomena, UAP. Again, folks, other senators and representatives, I won't go into loads of detail here, Andrew Carson, Mike Rounds, Tim Burchett. Eric Davis features in this. He is a national physicist and was an advisor to ATIP, notable for his research into anomalous materials and propulsion. Of course, he is the Davis in the famous or infamous Wilson Davis memo. If you want to check out more of that, there are so many great podcasts and deep dives into it. If you just search Wilson Davis memo, you can find out more about that. He's sort of an elusive character in the sense that he doesn't do many podcasts, unfortunately. But yeah, I'd love to hear from Eric Davis when he speaks. Tim Gallaudet, former U.S. Navy Rear Admiral and Chief Oceanographer. Big name, big personality. Brings a big credibility when speaking on this topic. And we then go through your pilots, your David Fravor, your Alex Dietrichs, your Ryan Graves, and more, and involved in this as well. Leaving off huge names, there are other representatives, Nobel nominees and such. But we'll get into that as we talk about the documentary. And let me get into that for you now. Like I say, folks, this is a walkthrough of sorts. The documentary goes like an hour and 50 minutes. It's nearly two hours. For me, perhaps a tad long. I think something like this. I was worried before this came out. It was going to be dry, I think is the word I've used. And it still was. But it wasn't Sahara Desert dry. I just felt there was a lot of talking. A lot of talking. And yeah, maybe 15, 20 minutes off of that runtime. Especially given it has to, and I won't spoil the ending, folks. But it obviously has to stop short, given it was made and released back in March. I'll go through some of my highlights. Opens with shots of DC. You can tell immediately, this is high quality. This is high caliber. Dan Farah is a serious guy who has put something together here that's going to look beautiful. We see clips from various news networks, from the hearings with Graves, Fravor and Grush, with various representatives talking. In bold, we get one of those title cards that says, Everyone interviewed in this film has direct knowledge of unidentified aerial or anomalous phenomena, UAP, as a result of their work for the US government. While some of their knowledge is classified, they are now breaking their silence with what they can lawfully disclose. We then see Graves, Fravor, Chris Mellon, and a whole load of the cast giving a very quick, you know, little vox pops, as they call them in media. I spent X number of years working on this. I have spent this many years researching this. And it really hammers home the gravitas, the weight of opinion, given the levels of work and government and officialdom that these people have operated at, or still operate at. These aren't just members of the public. It's not folks like me talking UFOs. These are real, big, serious, credible people now having this conversation. We are not alone. I don't have to make that statement, but various iterations of that is aired by the cast. We then get the title card, The Age of Disclosure. We see Luis Elizondo for the first time. He's setting the scene with his work and how he got involved. Jay Stratton is then up next. He is one we haven't heard from all that much, so I'm really intrigued to hear what he has to say throughout the documentary, including that one big statement, which I'll get to very quickly. Like Luis Elizondo, he gives quite the background as to what he's been doing in his career before getting involved with the UAP stuff. Lou mentions that for nearly a decade between them, they investigated UAP and ATIP. I'll leave a few quotes from that section. Lou says, if you could be in my shoes and see the videos that Jay and I have seen, you would see there is zero doubt that these things were not made by humans.

Jay Stratton tells us, don't we know that the best evidence is classified. And he also says, and here was, for me, one of the big statements made early on in the trailers. Stratton says, I have seen with my own eyes, non-human craft and non-human beings. That's it, folks. No setup before or after. I did hope we would get to hear more about this during the course of the documentary. We don't. Does he mean pictures, video, or does he mean with his own eyes and the flesh? That statement, again, hopefully I'm not wrong with this. In the coming days, it'll flesh out. But yeah, that was one I did wonder. We talked about the idea that statement perhaps would be followed up or even have context before it that was cut off that said, you know, I've spoken to people that have said to me, I have seen with my own eyes, but that didn't happen. It is just Jay Stratton saying, I have seen with my own eyes, non-human craft and non-human beings. I would just love to dig more into that. And I hope to see Stratton on some platforms with someone please asking Jay Stratton to dig into that more. Jay Stratton, folks, does have a book due out this year. I think it's going to be this year, if not next year, but I'm hoping this year through the same publisher as Luis Elizondo. We see Dave Frave, Ryan Graves and Alex Dietrich cover the Tic Tac event, which we've just had the 21st anniversary of last week. Luis Elizondo mentions whenever he and Jay Stratton tried to elevate this to higher positions or when they did, they were met with massive resistance and it was either a lack of belief or fear of stigmatization affecting careers. Nice to see Luis Elizondo and Jay Stratton sitting together during the filming. There's been a lot of rumors about their relationship and how they get on together. And Stratton's book may give some conflicting messages to what Lou Elizondo's book did regarding his role, how ATIP worked, the OSAP-ATIP relationship, folks. I hope that's not the case. And I hope if there is conflicting information that it's minimal. I think the more people that are together on this, the better, rather than the divisiveness, the infighting, when exactly Stratton and Elizondo filmed their scenes, because Luis Elizondo's book didn't come out until later in 2024. Some of these sit-downs could be 2022, 2023, early 2024. Luis Elizondo talks about them discovering a much bigger and deeper UAP program. And this is indeed the legacy program that has been capturing, retrieving, and reverse engineering UAP and craft. It includes the bodies of the non-humans in them sometimes as well. And I think it tries to hammer home to the audience watching this, not your general UFO crowd. And I hate to say this, folks, but documentaries like this don't seem to be made for people like us. I can't see it really being picked up by many folks that aren't people like us. So I do see positives about potential impact, and I'll get to that at the end. But yeah, so I think it tries to hammer home this idea of a legacy program. Maybe that sort of stuff could be fleshed out more through the documentary. I don't think there's enough maybe dumbing it down for a public who know nothing about this. We're taking back to 2017, the early interviews with Dave Fravor on the news. We see Rubio, we see Rounds, we see Gillibrand, big names to an audience watching a UFO documentary who aren't familiar with the UFO topic and seeing some really serious politicians talking about this. Marco Rubio, he talks about 9-11 and how the lack of preparation and readiness led to the disaster from an intelligence point of view. He says he would hate for that to happen again in relation to UAP. All kinds of chatter, I'm sure, around 9-11 and what happened on that day, the lead up to it, what happened after. But if you just take things at face value in terms of an intelligence failure, it's huge. And to hear someone bring that up in an official capacity, a guy who's in a lofty position now within the US to say we wouldn't want something like this to occur in terms of UAP that we're not ready for, that we could have been and we should have learned from an event like 9-11. So I think that's really, really striking commentary. Luis Elizondo goes back to basics here in a good way. He goes over the observables, the five slash six observables. Had to stop myself short of saying six, seven there, folks. Good God, that chills me to the bone, that comment. He goes over hypersonic velocity, mentioning our fastest craft goes 4,600 mAh. They've got UAP clocked at 40,000 mAh or faster. 10 times what our fastest craft go at. He talks about instantaneous acceleration. He mentions and gives context, which I think is so useful for folks. At full speed, the SR-71 Blackbirds needs half the state of Ohio to turn. UAP have been documented doing this instantaneously. are stopping on a dime, stopping bang immediately without anything being torn to shreds. If you've seen Top Gun with Tom Cruise, Top Gun Maverick, the most recent one, phenomenal movie. Cinema, pure, pure cinema, folks. I would encourage folks. But early on in that film, you see them testing an aircraft that goes certain velocities and you see the turning circle required with this beautiful shot and the distance that needs to actually turn. And that's what he's getting at there. Low observability, he mentions. So all modern aircraft have a signature, exhaust heat, sonic booms, etc. UAP leave almost no observable signatures. They mentioned transmedium travel. One of the big ones, I think, the sexy ones that would get people's attention. These objects can travel in space, air and water without any compromising. And I think as part of transmedium travel, something that's not often mentioned enough is the idea these objects can also travel through solids. And I think that should be considered as part of that transmedium travel. Anti-gravity is another. So UAP defy our gravity with no signs of propulsion, no control surfaces, no wings, no obvious ability to manoeuvre, no flaps, etc. And I really like that recap for the public. It's one we often can overlook, but is required given who this documentary is largely aimed at. Dave Fravor reminds us the tic-tacs being spotted were coming down from high altitude, loitering for three hours and going back up. It made me wonder, you know, where were they going back up to? Because I think quite often we've talked about the tic-tac and events like that where the objects were caught going under the water off the coast of California. If they were going back up as well, are they going back up to, what, a mothership? A normal airplane-type craft? A large drone? What is it? What were they going back up to? And surely data like that is out there somewhere, no doubt massively classified. That is the ship that gets classified that would really potentially be a big smoking gun because those tic-tacs folks, that wasn't a one-day event. That wasn't a one-hour event. Those were there for two weeks. They tracked those. I think it was 10 days to two weeks those objects are tracked. You can't tell me that multiple agencies were not all over that from a satellite point of view, from an underwater acoustic point of view, from any number of sensors that track all kind of things off those coasts. And Elizondo then mentions the sixth observable, biological effects. This introduces Professor Gary Nolan into the conversation. Gary talks about how our own technology like electricity pylons can cause harm to humans by getting too close for too long and that's our own technology. Now imagine a more advanced civilization or non-human technology and what that could do. We are introduced to UEP task force member Mike Flaherty. He was an Intel official. Experienced biological effects of UEP himself. Says he observed or experienced this more than once. Hints at that hitchhiker effect folks that you know once you come into contact with this phenomenon whatever it may be it often follows you and says anyone who had an interaction had a 25% mortality rate. One in four people die from contact with these things that I think is one that especially in the corridors of power maybe it's not a public conversation we hear too often. That's a biggie. Jay Stratton clears up that the Pentagon lied about Luis Elizondo working as part of ATIP. There's a big statement for the public to hear. It shouldn't be a surprise though that they lied about this. They have lied about a lot when it comes to this topic particularly. I do like that they present the idea that perhaps the objects are coming from the ocean they dip into that. That would make a lot of sense potentially but like Hal Putov says whoever it is they are here. They have been operating here for a long time. So at this point my opinion is always fluid. I call that sitting on the fence or whatever. I don't think it is but I like to say that depending on the next few days what I read what I see the follow-up interview is I need to watch Farrah on Rogan. It'll allow me to form a more solid opinion. Yeah, I'll see what happens but these are just initial thoughts. I'm thinking it's better than I thought it was going to be. I think at this point we're about half an hour into the documentary. It's not anywhere near as dry as I expected. I think it still lacks some really interesting footage to keep members of the public's attention if nothing else. The price point for me right now is prohibitive for folks or maybe prohibitive. People are saying that online. I'm just sharing the feedback. Will people without an interest already who have heard about the UFO topic stump up $20 to $30 $15 to $20 to rent or buy this? That is one for their marketing team. I'm sure they know what they're doing. I can't help but think this being shown on a platform like Netflix or even Amazon Prime but with no cost for Prime members which a lot of folks online seem to think that would be the case would have really helped but maybe that's a bit obvious with no price point being attached. Luis Elizondo names the CIA, the US Air Force and the Department of Energy and other defence contractors as being the gatekeepers of the legacy programme. One interesting point he mentions is the DOE having their own classification system. The Atomic Energy Act for example is used to hide the legacy crash retrieval programme which makes it really difficult difficult to investigate to FOIA request for people to get access with different clearances part of that stonewalling that happens. Hal Putov says some spicy stuff here which I like. Putov brings up different species associated with craft. Eric Davis sitting beside Harold Putov brings some big claims in. He says he is aware of two advanced species one of which had made contact with the legacy programme. I like Putov talking about the idea of gifted craft not crashes being distributed to all nations perhaps as a giant IQ test who can reverse engineer these first.

Remember put your little ones first with healthy meals from Nurture Life That website one more time is NurtureLife.com slash P-O-D pod Imagine that was the case that certainly for me would be a huge reason for the secrecy Is there a reason for some of these wars that happen with massive nations up against smaller nations going in there for a reason they give publicly but secretly they know there's some technology there they want to get their hands on This can go down rabbit hole territory folks can't it but even back in the day the whole Iraq weapons of mass destruction there's talk that you know we went in there for the oil nothing to do as we know they didn't have the WMDs that they said the UK the US all jumped in was there something else perhaps they were going in there for it gets a bit conspiratorial but you never know Mike Rounds comes on and talks about how some of this is so secret very few people across the US government has ever had the access to it Rubio comes on and says it's naive to think presidents can even ask to get the brief on all of this when they hit the office and it's important he notes here the president wouldn't even necessarily know who or how to ask the people who aren't voted in stay in roles deep hidden for 30 plus years these generals that don't get demoted or kicked out or voted out they stay in those roles largely out of the public eye those are the folks who would be running this stuff from a public point of view and a secrecy point of view Eric Davis seems to take the mantle at this point for me in the documentary as the guy with the more extreme stuff to say and I think probably some of the stuff that's going to keep attention of a public who I won't lie I have a short attention span folks and even watching this I can be bad for checking how long's left and I did it three or four times during this just to see where I'm at perhaps I'm taking notes as I watch it as well so I can't just watch it necessarily and enjoy the same way I checked a few times to see where things were at and I wonder would members of the public do the same you know how long's left how long's left an hour and 20 minutes I'll turn off and come back to it but Eric Davis seems to take the mantle as the guy seeing extreme stuff he mentions that George Bush senior had private conversations with him decades ago and one of those he mentioned the UFO landing on the tarmac at Holloman Air Force Base where allegedly a non-human entity came out the craft and made contact I think that's the kind of stuff that'll make people go huh that's interesting can I go find out more about that and of course you can there's lots of documentaries and books written about these events just over an hour in at this point we see some of the former military personnel start to come out Jeff Nusatelli Bob Jacobs Mario Woods who have discussed their incidents how they were forced into silence at times signing NDAs I don't know whether it's deliberate it feels like it's being paced in a way that they know folks might switch off as it goes along at various places as happens with any form of media folks don't I know it with the podcast with the audio with the video all very different formats but the longer you stay you get deeper into the rabbit hole you're invited to learn more and I wonder if you watched it if you felt the same way about that the public the audience watching it is invited to okay let's take you another step further let's take you another step further you get more information things get fleshed out we get the nuclear weapons connection we hear from the military personnel who had more personal experiences we get to hear a bit about the craft being inside a bubble explaining how they may move the notion they move our time is experienced differently inside the bubble as to outside as introduced and talked about not at great length but just enough to bring it in as an idea almost like if you're watching this as a staffer a politician a government official a member of the public you're being caught up to speed it's relatively rapid fire okay you've got that bang on to the next thing and as you enter the kind of last half hour the conversation begins to shift to the energy source big focus on this the fact that the one UEP can produce enough energy that would be the same as the entire U.S. consumes in one day is a great way to frame it I don't think enough of that is done throughout this to say to the public let's stop for a second listen to what you've just heard here's a comparison it doesn't happen enough and I liked when Lou Elizondo done that with the five observables to give comparisons and examples so people can understand and paint a picture in their heads of really what's being talked about here to really help them whistleblowers are brought into the conversation at this point for me quite late in the conversation here Rounds talks about interviewing the whistleblowers Burchett talks about having worked on people having worked on craft of out of this world origin at an hour and 25 minutes 90 minutes in folks I would have liked to have seen this be the end of the documentary maybe cram a bit more in that comes later still but yeah hour and a half in we get David Grush he seems to have built to Grush Stratton says he handpicked Grush to be part of the UEP task force that everything he says is true but it barely scratches the surface and for folks like me and if you're listening to this and you're well versed in the UEP topic that's great to hear that oh there's so much more Grush can say there's so much more we don't know and we only probably know 3, 4, 5% of what's going on which is a lot that we've got out there but it's not everything we've got so little of the puzzle at 6pm eastern on Friday the 21st on Fox News there was a new interview with David Grush I've not watched it yet I'm going to watch it today and I'll put that into my next follow-up reaction pod on this with Brett Baer I look forward to watching it we get a good recap of David Grush coming forward his big comments at the hearing and what's happened since I'm grateful to David Grush coming forward because I got my book deal off the back of that you know Atlas of UFOs folks pick up for Christmas thank you in the final parts we see some suggestions of what the intentions of non-human intelligence may be Louise Elizondo narrates to say that in the last 80 years we have advanced technology more than we did in the previous 200,000 years that the uptick in new EP sightings correlate with our own advancements and we see clips from the 23-24 time period folks like Tim Burchett speaking in the media about why this is important we see the 2024 hearings with Elizondo Gallaudet-Gold and Schellenberger which is a shame for me that's quite late on it wasn't the strongest of the hearings 2025 for me was a bigger and better hearing but I get it was kind of recapping and I think it was not rushed but it was it was menial amounts of information but I think probably because it was put in quite late on in the documentary it finishes with Hal Putov, Jay Stratton Elizondo all saying things like you know we're not alone the US people need to know the American people can't know because of classifications and the final words on screen folks as we fade to black mention the UEP Disclosure Act being put back in for 2025 but receiving huge pushback as of recording this that that had failed to go through but there is a possibility that a standalone bill could be introduced by Eric Burleson and co part of that UEP Secrets Task Force that's ongoing but we shall see we don't know that yet and perhaps that would be something that would be a legacy for this documentary a real impact for this documentary going forward would be what can happen off the back of it so to sum up some of my thoughts folks what would I have liked to have seen that wasn't there more footage more UEP more UFO stuff genuinely interesting footage or at least a section that takes the footage that's shown and explains it to the public what exactly they're seeing why the quality is the way it is how we get better footage out you know I think even within there there was a point in the show a clip from a news show and in that clip there's a UEP but I think it's one of those fake ones from the iPhone app and actually disappointing to see that kind of stuff even in there it's not being presented as real footage but the clip has that in there that's careless and that should be removed I want to know what you would like to see or have seen in this documentary for me the impact going forward could be big I am still hopeful I am still hopeful that this gets a lot of media attention it is getting media attention I think there's also a chance that perhaps the numbers of folk they want to watch this won't watch it that won't buy it it's really mixed online folk really mixed and I'll get to that when I do the follow up around the reactions in the next couple of days so I can see more of the ratings reviews all that kind of stuff over the first weekend because I think that will kind of tell us a little bit of a story but I think given so many news outlets have picked up the media have picked up clips just the media finding out these folks are really big names and they're talking about UAP it gets the conversation back out in front of the public and at this point if we could get a grush op-ed that probably is never coming if we could get something big if we could get the UAP Disclosure Act through the door as a standalone bill that could be huge there are rumours and I stress folks rumours that President Trump could make some sort of announcement along the lines of we are not alone by the end of the year but listen we have heard this before I get reminded yearly on my Facebook memories of some time ago a rumour went around Obama was getting ready to disclose long before I started the podcast so it could be nothing but we shall see I would really love love to know what I'm going to do folks is just to finish up I am going to share some of the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Rotten Tomatoes if you don't know is a huge website online for movies TV shows and what not that rate and review films TV series and such so right now there's a tomato meter and a popcorn meter tomato meter is your how fresh it is and right now there is only 8 reviews so it's too early and that's why I say I'm going to wait and do the media stuff properly but just really early on it's got an 84% popcorn meter rating now that's members of the public what they have thought of it now also let's be fair that could be people you get reviews spamming in a good way and a bad way that could be folks going on and leaving great reviews because they love the topic if you've watched it I've left it a 5 star review on Amazon right now there's only 16 reviews on the UK Amazon all 5 star which is fantastic but that's not running into the hundreds or thousands of reviews yet you would want to see big numbers come in for that for people buying it so that's still at the minute would scream to me the really early indications are not huge numbers being bought in the UK but we'll get to that in a few days time once I think it's fair to give it a few days to really see some numbers so yeah no review yet there's 8 critic reviews so let me just read through some of these folks first one is from Ben Kenningsberg of the New York Times he says question the film and you're a chump it implies but anyone who sits through it's nearly 2 hours of unprovable claims is a chump of a different sort thanks for that Ben Avi Offer NYC movie guru said a slickly edited and provocative but repetitive and unsurprising documentary so he's given it a fresh rating so that's good but even within that repetitive and unsurprising Tom O'Brien from Nick's Best Picture gave it a 5 out of 10 and said and back in Bear of Minds folks those first ratings they were both November this year the rest of them are from March so who saw it back at South by Southwest around that time Tom O'Brien said at its most speculative point the Age of Disclosure comes off as unsolved mysteries dressed up in a suit and tie Nate Richard said if the job of the Age of Disclosure was to convert skeptics it failed gave it a 5 out of 10 Nick Johnston from Vanyaland said the approach taken here is heavy handed to the point of being po-faced ouch Daniel Feinberg who is the Hollywood reporter he's a top critic on here said my problem with the Age of Disclosure isn't the lack of opposing voices it's that there could be experts debunking there couldn't be experts debunking anything here nothing is proven and thus nothing can be refuted Owen Gleiberman from Variety said the evidence if you truly look at it isn't all that compelling it's fascinating to look at but quite inconclusive it's hardly the stuff that alien dreams are made of and Christian Zilko from IndieWire who is again a top critic gave it a B plus who said as someone who has never been persuaded by anything I had ever heard about aliens before watching the film I feel qualified to tell you that the Age of Disclosure is really really convincing like I say I'm going to give it another day or two really let's see what happens in terms of media reaction what more gets picked up online I'll get to check out Farrah on Rogan the Grush interview and what not and yeah really intrigued to see what you thought of it so please get in touch with me either email ufo uapam at gmail.com or use thatufopodcast.com forward slash contact to let me know your thoughts what I'll do folks is I will round up there I've been with you for nearly 40 minutes sharing my opinion and please let me stress whether you thought I've come across as really positive really negative somewhere in between I'd like to think it's been somewhere in between it's my honest thoughts but it's just my opinion I can be wrong not often no you might think differently and that's completely fine I have seen everything online from people declaring this is disclosure which is not but also people saying this is awful there's nothing and I think they're really missing the point if that's the case but I think when it comes to the general public that's who this is meant to be aimed at so yeah let's see where it goes it's finally out I'm glad it's out there there'll be some good points to come from this I'm recording that'll come out this in the next day or two with Pavel from Secoactivo if you got a chance to check that one out my thoughts on it and I'm looking forward to having that conversation I'm hoping to have representative Eric Burleson join me on the podcast to talk about the documentary I'm also re-hosting Reid Summers who was a hugely popular guest a few weeks ago around the intent of non-human intelligences he's coming back on get your questions over for that one folks and at the end of this week huge podcast with Joe McMoneagle famous remote viewer some big shows this week plus that media
