The Age of Disclosure may turn out to be disclosure after all\u2014just not in the way many of us hope. This message is for those who expect nothing from this upcoming documentary, as well as those who have set their expectations too high. I believe both sides are overreacting, and there’s too small a group sitting in the middle.<\/p>\n
To start with, we’ll hear from a variety of distinguished experts confirming that non-human intelligence (NHI) exists and is among us. While some of these speakers may be familiar faces we\u2019re tired of hearing from, there will also be new, credible voices joining the conversation. It won’t be a presidential address, but the individuals speaking will certainly be qualified to represent that level of authority. This will represent a form of disclosure, albeit a limited one. We\u2019re reaching a minimal understanding of what disclosure means, so let’s not underestimate its importance simply because it won’t drastically change our daily lives.<\/p>\n
However, it\u2019s essential to note that this will not be a evidential<\/em> disclosure. We\u2019ll hear multiple experts share the same message, asking us to trust them based on their reputations alone. There’s no promise of sightings of recovered crafts or bodies, and perhaps we may never see that. Nevertheless, we are about to receive an acknowledgment from credible sources\u2014a clear sign of progress, even if it doesn\u2019t feel revolutionary to those already invested in the topic.<\/p>\n This event will also not be what I believe many in the community envision when they talk about “disclosure-plus.” We want access to materials for civilian research, insights into propulsion technology, psionics, and the like. It’ll be unlikely we see any of that from government sources. What we will get is straightforward disclosure, minus the additional details, assuming the promotional material isn\u2019t misleading. If the featured personalities in this documentary are indeed as significant as we\u2019ve been led to believe, then we can call this a step toward disclosure.<\/p>\n So, consider this a gentle reminder not to react too negatively when the film is released. There\u2019s been a lot of frustration leading up to this moment compared to prior years. While it may not meet all our desires, it\u2019s still a milestone that advocates for disclosure in the 1950s could only dream of. Let\u2019s appreciate how far we\u2019ve come. We\u2019re approaching the finish line; it might feel distant because we\u2019ve reshaped our expectations, but this is the endpoint we initially set out to reach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
