Claims of an 80-year UAP cover-up and “first tranche” of declassified evidence
The episode opens with bold assertions: an alleged decades-long government cover-up of non-human intelligence and a recent release of declassified UAP-related files. Steven frames the conversation around what was released and why it matters now.
- •Allegation of an 80-year cover-up by elements of the U.S. government
- •Claim that newly released materials are the “first tranche” of evidence
- •Assertion that advanced non-human technology is present and frequently observed
- •Setup for the episode’s core questions: evidence, secrecy, and disclosure
- 2:41 – 6:24
Why Dan Farah made 'The Age of Disclosure' and who he interviewed
Dan explains his background as a producer and why he pursued a serious, credibility-focused UAP documentary. He describes gaining access to senior officials and building a “safety in numbers” approach to reduce ridicule and risk for participants.
- •Dan’s long-standing interest and goal to create a sober, insider-focused film
- •Interviews with senior government, military, and intelligence figures (incl. Rubio, NSC, pilots)
- •Participants shared what they could legally say while avoiding classified details
- •Strategy: coordinated public stepping-forward to reduce stigma and backlash
- 6:24 – 8:49
AAWSAP, pushback from a hidden 'Legacy Program,' and why official programs lost funding
Hal and Dan recount how modern government UAP investigations (like AAWSAP) emerged and then faced obstruction. They claim a deeply hidden legacy effort has existed since the 1940s and resisted oversight, contributing to AAWSAP’s shutdown.
- •DIA-backed AAWSAP began in 2008 to assess UAP reality and risk
- •Discovery claim: an older, highly concealed 'Legacy Program' already existed
- •Alleged bureaucratic sabotage and red tape led to AAWSAP funding loss in 2010
- •UAP concerns included activity near nuclear sites
- 8:49 – 9:45
Physics angle: extreme maneuvers, general relativity, and why Hal says UAPs are real
Hal describes why physicists were consulted: reported performance (right-angle turns, high G-loads, transmedium travel) seems beyond known human engineering. He argues the math of general relativity could in principle explain observed effects, even if engineering can’t yet replicate it.
- •Hal’s background: quantum physicist with intelligence-community work
- •Pilot reports drive technical inquiry into how such flight could be possible
- •Idea: engineered spacetime metric effects could mimic reported UAP behavior
- •Distinction between theoretical possibility vs. current human engineering limits
- 9:45 – 15:25
Crash retrievals and non-human bodies: what’s claimed and why it’s hard to verify publicly
Steven presses on the core claim: “aliens” or non-human beings and recovered bodies. Dan and Hal attribute the strongest claims to whistleblowers and to witnesses who say they’ve seen craft/bodies, while acknowledging public proof is limited by classification.
- •Dan: interviewees claim crash recoveries and non-human bodies (within legal limits)
- •Basis today is largely testimony from credentialed insiders and whistleblowers
- •Steven challenges reliance on eyewitness accounts and asks for direct evidence
- •Examples cited: Jay Stratton allegedly claiming firsthand observation
- 15:25 – 18:58
Why secrecy persisted: Cold War, stigma campaigns, and ‘can’t tell friends without enemies’
The discussion shifts to motives for secrecy: fear of public panic, geopolitical rivalry, and the risk of giving adversaries technical clues. Dan and Hal also allege that stigma and disinformation were intentionally cultivated to deter inquiry and reporting.
- •Roswell-era framing: leadership feared panic and inability to protect the public
- •Cold War logic: revealing knowledge could aid adversaries (China/Russia)
- •Claim: stigma/disinformation was promoted to discourage investigation
- •Consequence: academia and top talent avoided the topic for decades
- 18:58 – 21:50
How many ‘types’ of non-human beings and how recoveries are described
Steven asks whether the phenomenon suggests one or many kinds of non-human intelligence. Hal relays secondhand claims of multiple types, and Dan says sources describe dozens of recovered craft and intimidation of potential on-camera witnesses.
- •Hal: reports from contacts suggest at least four distinct types of beings
- •Dan: claims of dozens of craft recoveries in the U.S. alone
- •Off-the-record recovery personnel allegedly feared for their lives
- •Role of congressional committees and a long-form documentary as a disclosure vehicle
- 21:50 – 27:07
What U.S. presidents are told: alleged compartmentalization and the 'Legacy Program' structure
Dan argues that presidents historically were not fully briefed and that long-tenured bureaucratic structures can outlast administrations. He describes the alleged Legacy Program as involving parts of CIA, Air Force, DOE, and defense contractors, capable of withholding information.
- •Claim: sitting presidents often kept in the dark about key UAP specifics
- •Power dynamics: career officials can “wait out” elected leadership
- •Legacy Program described as CIA/Air Force/DOE + major contractors
- •Rubio portrayed as unusually informed and influential in current disclosure push
- 27:07 – 28:35
Trump-era declassification: what’s in the first release and why it may be incomplete
Steven asks what the newly released ‘report/files’ contain. Dan describes declassified videos/images and highlights a purported Apollo-era image of a triangular craft near the moon, while stressing agencies may have withheld most of what they possess.
- •First tranche includes multiple files, reports, videos, still images
- •Most notable claim: Apollo 1972 still image showing a triangle craft above the moon
- •Assertion that only a few agencies meaningfully complied with the directive
- •Expectation of additional tranches and ongoing pressure on agencies
- 28:35 – 34:05
Why there still aren’t clear iPhone videos: sensors, distortion, and ‘warp bubble’ explanations
Steven challenges why ubiquitous cameras haven’t produced indisputable close-up footage. Dan and Hal argue military sensors are better than phones and propose that a spacetime/“warp bubble” could distort imagery, making clear capture difficult despite frequent sightings.
- •Steven’s skepticism: modern cameras + social media should yield clear proof
- •Dan/Hal: military sensors capture more than phones; some definitive videos remain classified
- •Claim: a warp bubble could distort visuals like filming through a refractive medium
- •Debate over whether UAPs want to be seen and how they perceive humans
- 34:05 – 39:28
How UAPs travel: warp drives, transmedium behavior, and nuclear-site ‘baiting’ claims
The conversation dives deeper into travel mechanics and why nuclear facilities are repeatedly mentioned. Hal discusses metric engineering and effective light-speed changes; Dan describes a protective ‘bubble’ enabling seamless movement through air/space/water and claims nations learned how to attract UAPs with concentrated nuclear assets.
- •General relativity concepts: wormholes/warp metrics as theoretical pathways
- •Dan’s explanation: localized spacetime ‘bubble’ isolates craft from environment
- •Transmedium claims: space-to-air-to-water without splash; underwater high speeds
- •Assertion: U.S./others learned to “bait” UAPs with nuclear footprints
- 39:28 – 50:25
If they’re so advanced, why do they crash—and why other countries stay quiet
Steven notes the paradox of frequent crash stories despite advanced tech. Hal suggests some craft may be left intentionally or disrupted by electromagnetic/laser interference; Dan argues allies follow U.S. cues while adversaries have little incentive to disclose.
- •Crash paradox: advanced craft allegedly still crash or are recovered
- •Hal: some may be ‘donations’ or affected by EM/laser interference
- •Dan: allies follow U.S. lead; China/Russia gain little from public disclosure
- •Probability argument: life elsewhere likely; key question is visitation and evidence
- 50:25 – 53:12
NASA, Elon Musk, and the misinterpretation hypothesis: who knows what, and could it be human tech
Steven raises NASA’s skeptical stance and Elon Musk’s dismissals as counterpoints. Dan argues institutional incentives shape official conclusions and introduces the possibility that if it’s not non-human, then a secret human breakthrough would be even more destabilizing.
- •Dan: NASA task force allegedly constrained; desired outcome was ‘nothing to see’
- •Elon Musk discussion: clearances and unacknowledged special access programs
- •Steven pushes misinterpretation: pilots/sensors can be wrong
- •Dan: if human-made, it implies an extreme, hidden technological leap by a small group
- 53:12 – 1:02:12
The one thing that convinced them: cumulative insider certainty and ‘lack of imagination’ risk framing
Steven asks for the most persuasive single story, but Dan emphasizes volume and consistency of high-level private confirmations. Dan cites Rubio/Clapper’s argument that major intelligence failures come from limited imagination, and that strategic surprise could be catastrophic if adversaries crack the tech first.
- •Dan: persuasion came from repeated, high-credibility confirmations rather than one tale
- •Rubio/Clapper theme: ‘lack of imagination’ leads to strategic surprise (Pearl Harbor/9-11)
- •Claim: disclosure is partly driven by national-security urgency and competition
- •Gatekeepers allegedly reassessing fears that the public ‘isn’t ready’
- 1:02:12 – 1:07:32
Meaning of disclosure: tech boom, religion, threats, and whistleblower retaliation claims
They explore what societal revelation would change: energy, propulsion, psychology, and religion. Dan and Hal discuss alleged intimidation of insiders, cite David Grusch as an example of retaliation claims, and describe messaging efforts to encourage cooperation without punishment.
- •Potential outcomes: anti-gravity, new energy sources, major technological boom
- •Religion: guests suggest many faiths (incl. Catholic Church) can accommodate extraterrestrial life
- •Claims of threats, career damage, and retaliation; Grusch cited as prominent example
- •Administration allegedly signaling ‘not a witch hunt’ to encourage insiders to come forward
- 1:07:32 – 1:19:46
CIA remote viewing and Stargate: what it was, reported successes, and whether it continues
The conversation pivots to Hal’s earlier classified work on psychic espionage—remote viewing—and the Stargate program. Hal describes why CIA pursued it, anecdotes of operational use, experiments including market prediction, and suggests that if it still exists it would be deeply classified.
- •Origins: CIA interest after reports of Soviet investment in ESP research
- •Remote viewing defined: obtaining information about distant targets without sensory access
- •Anecdotes: locating a downed aircraft; silver futures experiment; training Army intel officers
- •Program declassified historically, but guests suspect similar efforts could continue covertly
- 1:19:46 – 1:27:06
Closing reflections: open-minded skepticism, upcoming evidence tranches, and ‘to be continued’
Steven, Dan, and Hal end by emphasizing curiosity, openness to being wrong, and the need for better evidence. Dan predicts more declassifications soon and envisions an eventual presidential announcement, while Steven reiterates that exploring a topic isn’t endorsement.
- •Steven underscores skepticism and curiosity as the purpose of the conversation
- •Dan forecasts rolling declassification and more meaningful releases within weeks
- •Hal agrees evidence should become clearer as releases continue
- •Final note: UAP topic described as unusually bipartisan and culturally shifting
