Released on November 21, 2025, and directed by Dan Farah (producer of Ready Player One), The Age of Disclosure has exploded onto the scene as the most high-profile UFO/UAP documentary in years. Featuring testimony from 34 high-ranking U.S. government, intelligence, and military officials, the film claims to expose an 80-year cover-up of non-human technology and ongoing retrieval programs. It’s now streaming on Amazon Prime, was screened at the U.S. Capitol, and is officially Oscar-qualified for the 2026 Academy Awards.
But with all the hype, is it truly the greatest UFO documentary ever made? Here’s everything you need to know.

Final Verdict
For mainstream audiences and newcomers: YES – it’s the clearest, most credible introduction to the disclosure movement ever made.
For seasoned UFO researchers: It’s the most authoritative summary of the last 8 years, but it doesn’t break significant new ground beyond what whistleblowers already said in Congress.
Bottom line: It’s not necessarily the “best” in terms of raw evidence or depth, but right now, in late 2025, it is unquestionably the most important and highest-impact UFO documentary ever released.
Watch it on Amazon Prime and decide for yourself. The age of disclosure has officially begun.
