"The Age of Disclosure"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Age_of_Disclosure

is a 2025 film which bills itself as a documentary, featuring 34 former U.S. government insiders ("talking heads") talking about what they learned.

I was somewhat surprised to learn that Amazon charges $25 to purchase long-term access ("buy") to that film, and $20 for a short-term rental.

That raised a question in my mind:

Are the people filmed talking about their experiences receiving a cut (a percentage) of the film's revenue?

Does the film's leading character, Lue Elizondo, receive a percentage?

If so, that would certainly raise questions about their motivations.

Were they motivated simply by public spirit, or perhaps the desire to increase their income?

For comparison, we have seen plenty of politicians getting quite wealthy in their post-political life via honorariums.

And of course screen actors are often well-compensated.

So it's a reasonable question.

The film encourages transparency regarding what the USG knows about UAP.

How about transparency regarding who is making money off of this film, and how much?

I.e., the financial aspects of this film.

Now for an excerpt from the film:

28:30

"There’s actually a sixth observable, which is not a flight characteristic, that is biological effects.

GARRY NOLAN:

I got started working on this actually in this office. 

There was a knock at the door, and two individuals who represented themselves as being with the CIA and an aerospace company came to me and asked for my help.

They had, uh, data of military personnel, intelligence officials and others associated with the Department of Defense who had direct interactions with UAP.

And because of that direct interaction suffered some kind of medical harm.

They wanted my help to look at the so-called inflammatory secondary events that might be measured in the blood, anything from the horrific burns that I’ve seen on some of the individuals that leads to secondary problems with autoimmune diseases and sclerosis, et cetera, and then the internal scarring that I’ve seen on some individuals.

These people had scarring inside of their bodies and inside of their brains."

"I spent ten years as an intelligence officer for the Navy.

And before that, six years as Air Force intelligence.

And I spent time on the UAP task force.

I’m one of the intelligence officials that has experienced biological effects of encountering UAP.

Since my first encounter, I’ve observed other craft, orbs, we’ll call it exotic energy fields.

Unfortunately, um, those of us who have investigated it, we become part of the investigation or investigated by our colleagues.

The population had about a 25% mortality rate within seven years of having an interaction.

Probably important that the public understands that this is more than just an aerial phenomenon."

Back to Garry Nolan:

"When you have an anecdote that is accompanied by medical data, that’s something that I can hand to another scientist, another doctor and say, “Here it is. You explain it.”

We can argue about what the conclusion is, but we can’t argue that the data is real."
