For decades, UFO stories were brushed off as conspiracy theories, late-night radio fodder, or Hollywood fantasy. But now, afresh wave of claims from former intelligence insiders, scientists, and military figureshas reignited one of the most explosive debates in modern history.
Following the release of newly declassified UAP files ordered under President Donald Trump's administration, experts involved in the documentaryThe Age of Disclosureare alleging that elements inside the US government secretly concealed evidence of alien life not only from the public, but even from sitting presidents.
The biggest allegation from the new UFO roundtable discussion centres around what insiders repeatedly called the 'Legacy Programme.'According to documentary producer Dan Farah and physicist Dr Hal Puthoff, the operation allegedly began shortly after the infamous 1947 Roswell incident.
Farah claimed there had been 'an 80-year cover-up of the existence of non-human intelligent life' carried out by hidden elements inside the US government. He alleged the programme operated outside congressional oversight and beyond the reach of elected leaders.
According to the interview, officials connected to the CIA, the Air Force, the Department of Energy, and major defence contractors allegedly controlled the flow of information for decades.
Farah said: 'Historically, this has been kept from even sitting presidents.'
The claims became even more dramatic when the filmmakers alleged that some recovered UFO crash sites contained 'non-human bodies.' Several whistleblowers, including former UAP Task Force officials, reportedly went on record in the documentary claiming they personally witnessed recovered craft and beings.
The documentary team also claimed some insiders refused to appear publicly because they feared serious consequences. One former special forces official allegedly backed out of filming days before an interview, reportedly saying he would be 'forfeiting my life' by speaking out.
The latest controversy exploded after theTrump administration reportedly released hundreds of classified UAP filescontaining photographs, videos, reports, and internal investigations.
According to Farah, the most notable piece of evidence was a 1972 Apollo mission image allegedly showing a triangular craft hovering above the Moon.
