'Alien Intelligence Exists on Earth,' Former US Government Officials and Military Personnel Claim

Dan Farah has argued that 'alien intelligence' may already be operating on Earth, telling Chris Cuomo in a November 2025 interview that testimony about alleged recovered craft and unexplained activity near US military and nuclear sites convinced him something non-human could be involved.

The filmmaker, who directed the UFO documentary The Age of Disclosure, made the claims while promoting the documentary ahead of its November 2025 theatrical and streaming release, casting the accounts of former US officials and military personnel as too serious to shrug off, even if nothing has been definitively proved.

Farah's comments followed the film's premiere at the 2025 South by Southwest Film & TV Festival on 9 March 2025 and its later arrival on Amazon Prime Video.

The film features former and current government, military and intelligence figures, alongside people involved in the UAP disclosure movement, who appear on camera to discuss unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP. A central allegation in the film is that US authorities have spent decades concealing information about UAP and alleged non-human technology.

IBTimes UK cannot independently verify the claims made in the documentary or in Farah's interview and has not independently verified evidence establishing that any recovered craft are of non-human origin. The claims have not been independently verified and should therefore be treated cautiously.

Dan Farah Pushes UFO Debate Beyond 'Different Types of Craft'

Farah told Cuomo that he does not want the UFO conversation bogged down in catalogue-style talk of saucers, triangles or orbs. He argued that what matters is how the alleged craft move and perform.

'It's not different types of crafts,' Farah said, describing how officials in the film break down what they claim to have observed. 'Like the things we see these crafts doing. To sum it up, these crafts are performing in ways that our most advanced aircraft cannot.'

In the documentary, that argument is pushed hard. Interviewees describe what they say are objects moving from space to the upper atmosphere, then to sea level and underwater, apparently without conventional propulsion or visible damage from pressure and heat.

Some interviewees also describe objects that they say appear to defy gravity. On-screen, it all sounds wild. Off-screen, the lack of publicly available physical evidence and independently verifiable data has nevertheless fuelled scepticism about the claims.

Farah says the 34 people interviewed for The Age of Disclosure included senior government, military and intelligence figures with access to sensitive programmes, who now believe the public deserves to hear at least part of what they saw.

He characterises several segments as 'bombshell reveals,' a phrase that hovers somewhere between a marketing pitch and genuine frustration at how slowly official transparency, in his view, is inching forward.

Dan Farah Links Alleged UFO Craft to Military and Nuclear Sites

Where Farah pushes further than many UFO documentaries is in tying his claims to sensitive national security locations. In both the film and the Cuomo interview, he alleges that highly capable unidentified objects have entered restricted military airspace and approached or operated near nuclear weapons sites, in some cases entering what he describes as restricted or classified airspace that should be extremely difficult to breach.

Farah also points to comments by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio about repeated reports of unidentified objects operating over restricted nuclear facilities. The film presents Rubio's remarks as part of its broader argument about unexplained activity near sensitive sites.

The documentary advances a broader theory about nuclear facilities. Farah argues that reported UAP activity appears to have increased alongside humanity's expanding ability to harness nuclear energy.

He presents one theory that the reported activity around nuclear facilities could be connected to monitoring humanity's technological development, although the film does not establish that explanation as fact. It is a neat, very Hollywood story, but still only a theory.

The material reviewed by IBTimes UK does not provide independently authenticated video, physical evidence or peer-reviewed research establishing that the reported objects are non-human craft.

In the documentary, Farah acknowledges that some information provided by interviewees could remain subject to classification restrictions. He suggests that some interviewees disclosed only information they believed they were permitted to discuss. For sceptics, that can sound like a ready-made excuse for why the hard stuff never appears.

Why Dan Farah's UFO Film Splits Its Audience

Reactions to The Age of Disclosure have been sharply divided. Supporters see a serious, occasionally dry, presentation of testimony from insiders who plainly are not there to swap sci-fi fan theories for fun.

For them, Farah has assembled people with senior backgrounds in government, intelligence and the military who have chosen to speak publicly, knowing full well they will be mocked in some quarters.

Sceptics and some critics have questioned the documentary's reliance on testimony in the absence of publicly available physical evidence. If, as some interviewees allege, unidentified objects have repeatedly entered restricted airspace and demonstrated capabilities beyond known human engineering, they ask where the sensor logs, satellite tracks and engineering analyses are.

That unresolved tension drives the film's appeal. It sits in a grey zone between spy thriller and investigation, trading on secrecy, national security stakes and the possibility that governments know more than they admit.

The documentary raises questions about what militaries should disclose, how democratic oversight works when classified technology is involved, and how much weight to give testimony when physical evidence is not publicly available.

Farah's renewed publicity push, and his choice to talk so bluntly about alleged incursions into bases and nuclear facilities, has thrown his project back into online argument cycles. Some viewers are demanding hearings before Congress and large-scale declassification. Others remain sceptical, arguing that publicly available evidence has yet to establish the existence of alien intelligence.

Until independently verifiable evidence emerges, The Age of Disclosure remains a documentary built largely around testimony and allegations about unexplained incidents, rather than proof that any reported objects are of non-human origin.
