NewsNation chief correspondent Brian Anton has been pouring through these documents.
[0:00:00 - 0:00:03] ▶
Brian, hello. What videos caught your attention?
[0:00:03 - 0:00:05] ▶
Yeah, I've been going through these videos and the new documents since 8 a.m. this morning,
[0:00:07 - 0:00:11] ▶
Hannah, when they all were first released. And there's some really interesting ones.
[0:00:11 - 0:00:15] ▶
64 total, second big batch that's been released. President Trump obviously
[0:00:16 - 0:00:20] ▶
ordered that these videos be released. Let me show you this first one.
[0:00:20 - 0:00:24] ▶
This is video here from a U.S. military sensor in Syria. This one is getting a lot of attention.
[0:00:24 - 0:00:30] ▶
The video, I think we're going to play it here in a second. The video is from 2021.
[0:00:31 - 0:00:34] ▶
And you can see what looks like a bright sphere. There it is. Sort of like a bright sphere looking
[0:00:35 - 0:00:41] ▶
orb traveling over the surface. And if you wait a couple of seconds here, Hannah, and watch it
[0:00:41 - 0:00:46] ▶
closely, it picks up speed and then it literally just zooms off. There it was right there at the
[0:00:46 - 0:00:51] ▶
end. That is the part that experts are especially perplexed by because our technology, we are told,
[0:00:51 - 0:01:00] ▶
just couldn't do that. Where at the end there, it literally just zooms off the screen. All right.
[0:01:00 - 0:01:04] ▶
Next video. This one is interesting, Hannah. A formation of UFOs over the Persian Gulf. You see
[0:01:04 - 0:01:10] ▶
right there, again, captured by a military sensor. There are what appear to be three dots.
[0:01:10 - 0:01:16] ▶
You can see traveling together. Sometimes they kind of space apart a little more and then they
[0:01:16 - 0:01:22] ▶
get closer together. And this video was uploaded to a classified network in October of 2019. Again,
[0:01:22 - 0:01:30] ▶
experts do not seem to know what this is. Another video here. We move on to the next one. This one is
[0:01:30 - 0:01:35] ▶
from October of 2020. Look at that. See that little black dot? We circled it. Traveling across the city.
[0:01:35 - 0:01:42] ▶
We don't know exactly where this is. Military isn't telling us. But again, captured by a military
[0:01:42 - 0:01:47] ▶
sensor. They don't know what it is. And it just moves very slowly there across the screen. Again,
[0:01:47 - 0:01:54] ▶
from October 2020, it goes from the city there and then it goes out over to the mountains. I wish we
[0:01:54 - 0:02:01] ▶
knew the location. There's a lot they left out when they gave descriptions for these videos.
[0:02:01 - 0:02:06] ▶
We don't know if they're being vague on purpose. But this one was interesting, Hena. You see,
[0:02:06 - 0:02:11] ▶
just continues to move over the mountains there. Some of these videos, we obviously clipped them
[0:02:11 - 0:02:15] ▶
down for you. But some of them go on 10, 13 minutes where they literally track these objects
[0:02:15 - 0:02:22] ▶
and it just goes on and on and on. And then eventually the object leaves the screen.
[0:02:22 - 0:02:27] ▶
Also in the release today, there was a recording of an astronaut, astronaut Scott Carpenter from 1962.
[0:02:27 - 0:02:32] ▶
This radio recording, Hena, when he was up in space on the radio. This recording has never been
[0:02:32 - 0:02:38] ▶
released before where there's no video, but he described seeing something very strange,
[0:02:38 - 0:02:42] ▶
something that he said looked like snowflakes. And again, that was unexplained. Hena?
[0:02:42 - 0:02:47] ▶
I mean, the mystery still remains, but always fun to watch and get to the bottom of this. Brian
[0:02:48 - 0:02:53] ▶
and 10. Thank you. My next guest directed and produced the explosive film, The Age of Disclosure.
[0:02:53 - 0:02:58] ▶
It features interviews with over 30 government insiders and alleges an 80-year global cover-up,
[0:02:58 - 0:03:05] ▶
concealing the existence of intelligent alien life and, of course, technology. Dan Farah joining
[0:03:05 - 0:03:10] ▶
me live now. Dan, welcome to the show. We've been excited to talk to you all day. Your film argues
[0:03:10 - 0:03:16] ▶
we're entering a new era of disclosure, transparency, after today's release. Do you believe this is the
[0:03:16 - 0:03:22] ▶
transparency the UFO community has been looking for this whole time?
[0:03:22 - 0:03:25] ▶
Yeah, look, I think we're living through a major turning point in human history. I couldn't be
[0:03:25 - 0:03:32] ▶
prouder of the role the film is playing in it. You know, The Age of Disclosure drove a national
[0:03:32 - 0:03:37] ▶
conversation that led to our government taking this historic, unprecedented disclosure movement
[0:03:37 - 0:03:45] ▶
and moving it forward. I'm so sorry. Well, there's a couple of videos that are getting a lot of buzz
[0:03:45 - 0:03:50] ▶
tonight. I talked about a few. Brian Enten brought up a few as well. One video was filmed by an infrared
[0:03:50 - 0:03:56] ▶
sensor. It was on a military platform. It happened near Syria in 2021. It shows an object that appears to
[0:03:56 - 0:04:02] ▶
just instantaneously accelerate, going from a dead stop to extreme speed in a fraction of a second.
[0:04:02 - 0:04:09] ▶
I believe that's the video. Yeah, that is it. What do you make of what we're seeing, Dan?
[0:04:09 - 0:04:14] ▶
Look, I think a lot of the videos released today and in the first tranche of evidence released on May 8th,
[0:04:16 - 0:04:23] ▶
they show UAP performing in ways that no known aircraft can. These things are moving faster than our fastest
[0:04:23 - 0:04:31] ▶
fighter jets. They're displaying the ability to do instantaneous acceleration. Simply put, there is no human-made
[0:04:31 - 0:04:39] ▶
technology that can do that. Let's move on to another video that appears to show the moment a fighter jet shot down
[0:04:39 - 0:04:47] ▶
a UFO over Lake Huron. This was in 2023. This incident came after a Chinese spy balloon was spotted over
[0:04:47 - 0:04:54] ▶
the U.S. We're looking at that video now. Huh. And then you kind of just see it implode. What do you make of this?
[0:04:54 - 0:04:59] ▶
Yeah, look, it's just, it's more of the same. I think, I think what we're, what we're seeing now is the
[0:05:01 - 0:05:07] ▶
evidence that can, that the government can safely declassify and share with the public. But, you know, it's
[0:05:07 - 0:05:13] ▶
important to remember, this, this barely scratches the surface. There is a lot of evidence that still
[0:05:13 - 0:05:17] ▶
exists within various federal agencies, various private defense contractors and branches of the
[0:05:17 - 0:05:24] ▶
military that is still heavily classified. Right now, what's happening is the White House is driving
[0:05:24 - 0:05:32] ▶
forward an effort to get that evidence out of those federal agencies and out of the various branches of
[0:05:32 - 0:05:37] ▶
the military so that they can start declassifying more. But what we're seeing now barely scratches
[0:05:37 - 0:05:42] ▶
the surface. There's a, there's a lot of evidence that shows UAP that are clearly not made by humans doing
[0:05:42 - 0:05:48] ▶
things that humans do not currently have the ability to do. Your documentary alleges an 80-year global cover-up
[0:05:48 - 0:05:55] ▶
concealing the existence of alien life and, of course, its technology. The Pentagon has not drawn any
[0:05:55 - 0:06:00] ▶
conclusions as to whether these videos indicate non-human life. But what do you think? Do you think these are actual
[0:06:00 - 0:06:06] ▶
alien videos that have been released that we're watching?
[0:06:06 - 0:06:09] ▶
Look, all my sources inside of government, the military and the intelligence community
[0:06:09 - 0:06:16] ▶
very clearly have ruled out UAP being made by humans. There's no reason to believe this is human-made
[0:06:16 - 0:06:25] ▶
technology. Certainly, if one of our adversaries, a foreign nation, had leapfrogged us by 100 years
[0:06:25 - 0:06:32] ▶
technologically and made these things, that's the biggest story in the history of the world on its
[0:06:32 - 0:06:38] ▶
own. If somebody within the U.S. has leapfrogged the rest of humanity by 100 years and figured out how to
[0:06:38 - 0:06:44] ▶
crack this technology and the U.S. government is unaware of it, that also is the biggest story in the
[0:06:44 - 0:06:48] ▶
history of the world. And if it turns out definitively all of this is, you know, controlled by
[0:06:48 - 0:06:55] ▶
non-human intelligent life, that's the biggest story in the history of the world. Any way you cut it,
[0:06:55 - 0:06:58] ▶
what's unfolding, you know, in real time before our eyes is the biggest story in the history of
[0:06:58 - 0:07:03] ▶
humanity. Yeah, and many, many people out there will agree with you, including me, really. So there
[0:07:03 - 0:07:08] ▶
will be a third drop in the near future. What other files are you hoping to see?
[0:07:08 - 0:07:12] ▶
My understanding is that this is going to be a rolling disclosure process, and there's likely going
[0:07:14 - 0:07:18] ▶
to be more declassified evidence every few weeks, if not every month. What's actually unfolding
[0:07:18 - 0:07:25] ▶
right now is the White House is trying to get this evidence out of the various federal agencies and
[0:07:25 - 0:07:31] ▶
the branches of the military and defense contractors. And as they get access to evidence,
[0:07:31 - 0:07:36] ▶
they can then evaluate and decide what can be declassified and what still needs to remain
[0:07:36 - 0:07:40] ▶
classified. But there's certainly a battle waging behind the scenes. A lot of these intelligence
[0:07:40 - 0:07:45] ▶
agencies, you know, keep in mind, they're intelligence agencies. Their stated purpose is secrecy,
[0:07:45 - 0:07:49] ▶
right? They're in the business of secrets. And so they're not easily giving up this evidence and
[0:07:49 - 0:07:56] ▶
these secrets they hold. So there's this tug of war happening behind the scenes where the
[0:07:56 - 0:08:00] ▶
president's cabinet is trying to wrestle this evidence out so that they can start sharing stuff
[0:08:00 - 0:08:05] ▶
with the public. And it's going to be a rolling process. It's going to be a, it's going to, you know,
[0:08:05 - 0:08:09] ▶
so I called the film, my documentary, the age of disclosure, not the moment of disclosure,
[0:08:09 - 0:08:13] ▶
right? Because it's not a singular moment. It's a process that's going to unfold and it's going to
[0:08:13 - 0:08:17] ▶
have milestones and hurdles. And it's going to play out most likely over the course of this entire
[0:08:17 - 0:08:23] ▶
year. But, you know, one day we'll look back at this relatively small period of time. And,
[0:08:23 - 0:08:28] ▶
you know, I think we'll view it as the age of disclosure, the period of time where all of this
[0:08:28 - 0:08:34] ▶
extremely significant information that's been covered up for decades becomes known to the public.
[0:08:34 - 0:08:40] ▶
All right. Dan Farah, thank you so much. His film, The Age of Disclosure,
[0:08:40 - 0:08:43] ▶
is available for purchase or rent on Prime Video. Thank you again, Dan.
[0:08:44 - 0:08:47] ▶
