Joe Rogan Experience #2416 - Dan Farah

Filmmaker Dan Farah walks Joe Rogan through his UAP documentary's bombshell claims: an 80-year cover-up, recovered non-human craft, and a secret reverse-engineering race with China.

Joe Rogan Experience #2416 - Dan Farah
The guest

Dan Farah: Hollywood producer (Ready Player One) and director of the UAP documentary 'The Age of Disclosure,' which features senators, intelligence chiefs, and military officials going on the record about non-human technology.

What this episode covers

Dan Farah explains how he spent four years, often in secrecy, making 'The Age of Disclosure,' a documentary in which dozens of senior government, military, and intelligence figures (Rubio, Gillibrand, Clapper, Jay Stratton, Hal Puthoff) go on record about a decades-long program to recover and reverse-engineer craft of non-human origin. He and Rogan discuss the alleged cover-up run by the CIA with defense contractors, the urgent reverse-engineering race against China, and the physics of how the craft supposedly work by warping space-time. The conversation widens into ocean-based UAP activity, contact events, biological effects (cancer, parasites) on people who get close to the craft, and the connection to remote viewing and the CIA's Stargate program. Farah argues only a presidential disclosure plus a national-security amnesty for whistleblowers can bring the full truth out.

Big reveals from this episode

  • Farah says Rubio's biggest fear is China winning a secret cold-war race to reverse-engineer non-human technology.
  • Farah says he is completely convinced the US has recovered dozens of crashed non-human craft since the 1940s, naming Lockheed, Northrop, Raytheon and Battelle as involved contractors.
  • Claims the UAP task force lured in UAP by staging nuclear-armed assets and collected data on them.
  • Two sources told Farah they would be 'forfeiting their lives' if they appeared on camera.
  • Farah says Trump is aware of the film and recently tasked Tulsi Gabbard with getting to the bottom of the situation.
  • Says Trump learned the 'base facts' in his first term and had Mnuchin briefed to assess the economic impact of disclosure.
  • Tells a story of a naval intelligence official mailing tinfoil hats to senior witnesses to intimidate them into silence.
  • Farah recounts a black helicopter hovering over his house during an interview as a message that he was being watched.

Worth remembering

  • Sources say the hidden 'legacy' program has cost over a trillion dollars since the 1940s and employs thousands of people.
  • An Air Force guard and five others reported a football-field-sized UAP hovering over Vandenberg, with a possible police report shown in the film.
  • A scientist in the film calculates the Tic Tac's maneuvers would require roughly the entire US electrical output for about a week.
  • Sources describe at least four recovered non-human body types: grays, Nordics/tall whites, and insect-like 'mantis' beings.
  • Hal Puthoff and Eric Davis explain the craft work by warping space-time into a localized 'bubble,' explaining transmedium travel and blurry photos.
  • An admiral in the film notes we've mapped the moon's surface in more detail than the bottom of our own oceans.
  • An intelligence official in his 80s says he worked on quantum entanglement for the CIA in the mid-1970s, decades before it was public.
  • Jimmy Carter is quoted describing a psychic medium giving the CIA the coordinates of a downed plane in Africa.
  • The Stargate remote-viewing program began after the CIA learned the Soviets had a 10-year head start using trained psychics to spy on US bases.
  • A source ('Scott Andrews') recovered remote-viewing abilities after brain surgery and found documents showing he was secretly enlisted in the Air Force as a child.
