The UFO Phenomenon

Dan Farah: 'US nuclear testing was secret attempt to disable UFOs'

The filmmaker made the startling claim during a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
Dan Farah has been in the news quite a bit recently thanks to the release of his new high-profile documentary Age of Disclosure which explores the world of UFOs, aliens and government cover-ups.

During a recent interview with Joe Rogan, Farah put forward what is perhaps one of the most 'out there' claims about the UFO phenomenon that we've heard to date.

US atomic bomb testing in the 1950s, he argues, was actually an attempt to disguise the fact that the military was using nuclear weapons to take down UFOs.

"One of the realizations early on was that atomic weapon testing, nuclear weapon testing, has a ripple effect that can down these things," he said.

"Which is crazy on multiple levels. A, you could accidentally provoke a nuclear conflict with another party that doesn't know what you're doing."
"B, you're picking a fight with a more intelligent, superior species."

Farah maintains that there is a global race to reverse-engineer alien technology and that if the United States doesn't get its act together, another country will get there first.

"[Secretary of State Marco Rubio] literally says in the film, is if we don't get our act together and take this more seriously as a country, we're going to wake up one day, we're going to find out the hard way that China got there," he told Rogan.

"We won't know when or how, but to quote him, we will be screwed. His chin buckled when he said it. He was dead serious, and he was super concerned and you could feel it."

As things stand, however, neither Farah nor anyone he spoke to when making the documentary has been able to provide conclusive physical evidence to back up the claim that aliens are visiting us.

The attempt isn't secret if these people are talking about it! There is no trade out there where you can make up any ol' fantasy & earn money from it! "Well, what about the likes of J. K. Rowling?" I hear some say---- J. K. Rowling doesn't claim her stories are real. Telling people it's real is the selling point of ufo/uap crap like this IN_MY_OPINION

It would have been a very, very crude attempt.  Perhaps the crudest attempt in all of history.  I don't subscribe to this newsletter.

A bunch of hoo-hoo, if you ask me. The US did nuclear testing to get the bomb before the Soviets did! It's not rocket science.

Earl, Earl, Earl ?  The US started the Manhattan Project in 1942.  They were racing Nazi Germany and Hitler. The Soviets were allies during WW2, not nuclear rivals, yet.

Well Cho Jinn...i'm wondering if the Starfish Prime ops is not the challenger for this category ?

Yet another claim that the US military unilaterally declared war on vastly more advanced interstellar civilisations, condemning humanity to utter annihilation as a wholly irrational aggressive pest that makes anthrax seem cute and cuddly (and very useful and friendly) by comparison     Some folk really have it in for the US military, don't they
