Summary
Overview
Dan and Dr. Harold discuss their investigation into UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) and alleged government cover-ups of non-human intelligence. Through Dan's documentary 'The Age of Disclosure' and Hal's classified work with intelligence agencies, they present evidence from high-level government officials, military personnel, and scientists claiming an 80-year cover-up of extraterrestrial life and technology. The conversation explores recovered craft, non-human bodies, the physics behind UAP propulsion, remote viewing programs, and recent declassification efforts under the Trump administration.
The 80-Year Cover-Up and Government Disclosure
Dan explains how his documentary uncovered an alleged 80-year cover-up of non-human intelligent life by elements of the U.S. government. Through interviews with high-level officials including Secretary Rubio, he learned about a secret Cold War race with China and Russia to reverse-engineer non-human technology. The film led to President Trump's directive in February to declassify UAP evidence, with the first release occurring on Friday containing 400 classified files including a notable 1972 Apollo mission photo showing a triangle craft above the moon.
