Former F-16 instructor Chris Lehto on Age of Disclosure: Audience (and My) Reaction. UAP, UFO, unidentified aerial phenomena, and disclosure on the Lehto Files podcast. Originally on YouTube: 2 Dec…
The Age of Disclosure is a 2025 feature documentary that dropped on Amazon Prime after a limited Oscar-qualifying theatrical run in New York, LA, and DC.
It was shot quietly over about three years in secret, and it's built almost entirely around on-the-record testimony from 34 former U.S. government, military, and intelligence insiders.
So that means task force leads like Jay Stratton, people tied to the Wilson Davis story, plus pilots, intel folks, and members of Congress, like Marco Rubio and Kristen Gillibrand, Tim Burchett you see there.
The core claim of the film is pretty simple, but huge, that there's been roughly an 80-year international crash retrieval and reverse engineering program involving, you guessed it, non-human technology.
So critics are down around the 30% range while the audience score is in the 90s, so 93%.
So reviewers are pretty skeptical, but regular viewers, especially people already following the UAP topic, are rating it very highly.
So that's $20.99 to rent and a bit more to buy in the U.S., which is higher than like your casual Friday night dock rental and has sparked some debates by itself.
Money-wise, the producers haven't released an official budget or box office total yet, so we don't have hard revenue numbers.
But just looking at the production value, the three-year timeline, the festival premiere, and the theatrical run, this is clearly not like a YouTube shoestring project.
But it has mainstream coverage from big outlets and so far a very loud split between skeptics and believers.
And that split is exactly why I think it's worth breaking down the reaction to my post about it and what you're all actually saying in the comments.
