In this episode of Need to Know, Richard Dolan and Bryce Zabel break down the newly released documentary Age of Disclosure. They frame it as one of the strongest insider-driven treatments yet, highlighting its focus on government officials, intelligence veterans, scientists, and military figures who openly discuss crash retrievals, non-human intelligences, legacy programs, and decades of secrecy. Both hosts note that the documentary lands at a moment where cultural, political, and media attitudes toward UFOs have shifted dramatically. Mainstream outlets like CNN and Fox now discuss the subject without ridicule, and high-level voices like Marco Rubio, Hal Puthoff, Eric Davis, and Lue Elizondo speak more freely than ever before. The film, they argue, captures this moment of accelerating transparency.

Dolan and Zabel explore several major themes raised in the documentary: the long-running battle between "legacy" crash-retrieval programs and a reformer faction trying to force disclosure; the rarity of hard evidence due to intense classification; the gravity of claims like Roswell recoveries, bodies, and craft with space-time distortions; and the emerging recognition that USOs and oceanic activity may be central to the phenomenon. They emphasize that many of the figures featured—especially Puthoff, Davis, Mellon, Stratton, and Elizondo—are credible, deeply embedded insiders who have carefully chosen how far they can speak without violating classification. The documentary's high production value and careful presentation also set it apart from most UFO media, making it a potential reference point for newcomers and longtime followers alike.

The hosts conclude that Age of Disclosure is not "Disclosure" itself, but rather a significant milestone marking a cultural shift. They see the film as a snapshot of a world entering an era where secrecy is harder to maintain and insider testimony is becoming unavoidable. The documentary, they argue, is more of a conversation catalyst than an end point—an artifact of a system cracking under its own weight, where insiders feel increasingly liberated to speak and the public grows more prepared to hear it. Whether or not it triggers political action, they believe it will be remembered as part of the slow but undeniable march toward greater transparency around the UAP issue.
