Among UFO doc’s revelations: Russia recovered nonhuman ‘Tic Tac’ craft | Elizabeth Vargas Reports

For decades, whispers of crashed UFOs, secret retrieval units, and hidden extraterrestrial technology were confined to conspiracy circles.

But today, those whispers are no longer on the fringes.

They’re coming from the top floors of the Pentagon, from decorated intelligence officers, from national security veterans, and from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.

And now, according to a new documentary, one of the most explosive claims yet has surfaced.

Russia, officials say, recovered a nonhuman “Tic Tac” craft in 1989.

And it was far larger than the famous Tic Tac encountered by the U.S. Navy’s Nimitz carrier strike group.

For the first time, multiple former senior U.S. officials are saying it on the record.

Their accounts appear in a new film released this week titled “The Age of Disclosure,” a documentary that claims to expose an 80-year global cover-up hiding the existence of intelligent nonhuman life and advanced craft retrieved from around the world.

The film features former national intelligence directors, military leaders, CIA officials, senators, and even a former secretary of defense — all asserting that the government has recovered craft of nonhuman origin and, in some cases, nonhuman bodies.

These are not anonymous sources.

These are not second-hand accounts.

These are the people America once trusted with nuclear codes, covert operations, and national security secrets.

And according to them, the story is much bigger than the public has ever been told.

A Retrieval Program More Secret Than the Manhattan Project

One line in the documentary stops viewers cold.

“There has never been a program so successfully kept out of public view as the legacy crash retrieval program.”

The statement, delivered by a former senior intelligence official, refers to a classified multi-agency effort — led largely by the U.S. Air Force — to locate, retrieve, and reverse-engineer nonhuman craft that have crashed or been recovered worldwide.

To understand the weight of that comparison, consider the Manhattan Project.

It was the most secretive program in U.S. history.

And even it leaked.

But according to the documentary, the crash retrieval program did not.

For eight decades.

The retrieval units, according to film participants, included elements of the Air Force, CIA, Department of Energy, special access programs inside the Pentagon, and even private contractors.

What emerges is a picture of an international race — a covert cold war not just among adversaries, but among the world’s superpowers, all fighting to obtain technology not made by humans.

And as one former intelligence leader puts it, “The first nation that cracks this technology will dominate for generations.”

Russia’s 1989 ‘Tic Tac’ Retrieval

One of the most headline-grabbing revelations in the film is the claim that Russia recovered a large Tic Tac-shaped craft in 1989.

According to officials interviewed in the documentary, the Soviet Union managed to secure a craft “significantly larger” than the now-famous 2004 Tic Tac witnessed by Commander David Fravor and other Navy pilots.

This Soviet-era retrieval is described as one of several pieces of evidence suggesting that the United States is not the only nation in possession of nonhuman technology.

China, officials say, also has recovered one or more craft.

The documentary makes a provocative argument.

The world is in the middle of a secret arms race.

Not for nuclear dominance.

Not for cyber supremacy.

But for control over technology that is not of Earthly origin.

And if this is true, the geopolitical stakes are unlike anything humanity has ever witnessed.

Two Alien Species — And One Encounter That Changed Everything

Perhaps the most astonishing claim comes from two astrophysicists featured in the film.

They state unequivocally that government programs have recovered craft from at least two different nonhuman species.

Even more shocking, one intelligence official alleges that a crash retrieval team once encountered living nonhuman beings at a U.S. military base.

According to this account, unidentified aerial phenomena approached the base.

One landed.

And beings “not human” exited the craft and interacted with personnel from the U.S. Air Force and CIA.

The details are sparse because the specifics remain classified.

But the former official insists the encounter happened.

These claims, on their face, sound extraordinary.

Impossible to believe.

But as the documentary repeatedly emphasizes, these aren’t fringe voices.

These are decorated career officials with long records of service and some of the highest security clearances in the country.

And together, they represent a collective testimony the public never expected to hear.

Political Leaders from Both Parties Say the Same Thing

One striking theme emerges in “The Age of Disclosure.”

The people going on record come from every political background.

Some are lifelong Republicans.

Some are Democrats.

Some have served under Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden.

Their ideologies differ.

Their agendas differ.

But on this topic, they agree.

The United States has been retrieving nonhuman craft — and nonhuman remains — for decades.

And the secrecy is no longer sustainable.

As one former senior official states, “It’s difficult to dismiss this when so many people from so many levels of government are saying the exact same thing.”

Presidents Considered Disclosure — And Chose Silence

One of the film’s most surprising revelations is that President George W.

Bush’s administration seriously debated revealing the program to the world.

According to officials interviewed in the documentary, Bush convened cabinet-level discussions about public disclosure.

He was briefed that the United States had recovered nonhuman craft and technology.

He wanted to know how the world would react.

A think tank was assembled to evaluate the consequences for religion, global stability, the economy, and national morale.

After extensive study, the conclusion was unanimous.

The country was not ready.

It was just years after 9/11.

National anxiety was high.

The public trust was fragile.

Disclosure was deemed too destabilizing.

Years later, the documentary claims, President Donald Trump considered doing the same.

He allegedly asked for a detailed briefing on the economic impact if the government revealed the existence of alien life and recovered technology.

Ultimately, he too decided to remain silent.

Two presidents from two different eras.

Two administrations with opposing ideologies.

Both confronted with the same choice.

Both choosing secrecy.

Physical Effects on Personnel Who Encountered UAP

Another disturbing revelation involves the health effects reportedly suffered by intelligence and military personnel who came close to certain UAP craft.

A former military analyst interviewed in the film describes biological injuries after approaching multiple UAP objects.

These effects remain classified, but the documentary suggests exposure to unknown forms of energy, radiation, or propulsion-related fields.

Officials compare it to standing too close to a jet engine — except the physics of these craft are completely unknown.

And not all personnel recover.

The implications are sobering.

Whatever these craft are, they operate on principles far beyond current human understanding.

And proximity is dangerous.

The Deepest Secret: They May Not Come From Space at All

One of the most mind-bending sections of the documentary explores a possibility long debated in classified circles.

The craft observed by the military may not all come from outer space.

Some officials, including members of House Intelligence and a retired chief oceanographer of the U.S. Navy, suggest that some UAP may originate from the oceans.

It sounds impossible.

But there is a data point to consider.

Humans have mapped only 27 percent of Earth’s oceans.

We know more about the surface of Mars than we know about our own seafloor.

And multiple videos show objects entering and exiting the ocean at high speed — behavior no known submarine or underwater vehicle can replicate.

A retired admiral puts it bluntly.

“If you were a species trying to hide from humanity, the oceans would be the smartest place to hide.”

Otherworldly objects emerging from the deep ocean is no longer a sci-fi script.

It is an active line of inquiry among multiple intelligence agencies.

A Documentary That Changes the Conversation

Dan Farah, the director and producer of “The Age of Disclosure,” says he never expected so many high-ranking officials to speak on the record.

Not about this.

Not in this much detail.

Not after 80 years of silence.

But something has shifted.

Former insiders feel the public is ready.

Lawmakers feel urgency as global rivals push forward.

And the cultural taboo around UFO reporting has collapsed.

According to Farah, this film is not entertainment.

It is a turning point.

“Congress didn’t know.

Even presidents didn’t fully know,” he says.

“But now the world is learning the truth.”

The Beginning of the End of Secrecy

For eight decades, secrecy was easy.

There were no smartphones.

No satellite networks.

No whistleblower laws.

No military pilots with cockpit cameras.

But today, the government can no longer contain the narrative.

Too many people have seen too much.

And too many insiders are stepping forward.

If what this documentary reveals is true — that the United States, Russia, and China have all recovered nonhuman craft — then the world is not just entering a new era of transparency.

It is entering a new era of understanding.

A new era of competition.

And possibly, a new era of contact.

The question now is simple.

Will global leaders finally reveal the truth?
Or will they once again decide the public “isn’t ready?”

“The Age of Disclosure” suggests the public already is.

And judging by the reaction surrounding its release, millions of people are ready to hear what comes next.
