A new documentary delves deep into the US government's alleged efforts to cover up an alien presence on Earth.
Created by filmmaker Dan Farah, The Age of Disclosure is described as an "unprecedented and revelatory film" that delves deep into the subject of UFOs, alien visitation and government cover-ups.
It features interviews with 34 current and former members of the US military and intelligence communities, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, New York senator Kirsten Gillibrand and former director of National Intelligence General Jim Clapper.
Other prominent individuals featured include former Department of Defense official Christopher Mellon and Luis Elizondo of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP).
While the film is not due for a full release until later this year, it has been making waves at the SXSW film festival where screenings have drawn the attention of skeptics and believers alike.
Reviews are also mixed, with some touting it as essential viewing and others criticial of the continued lack of definitive evidence that we are being visited by extraterrestrials.
"This is a very real situation, and the stakes are incredibly high, and it's clearly the most bipartisan issue of our time - leaders from both political parties made it clear to me how serious it is," said Farah.
"But the public has no idea. The average person on the street is just completely in the dark."
One of the film's aims is to encourage viewers to become an active part of the disclosure movement.
"Push your representatives, push the executive branch, push the president to make this come to light, make the transparency happen, so the world can understand what we've been dealing with is real," said UAP task force director and US intelligence agency official Jay Stratton.
