Age of Disclosure 2nd Screening Cast Commentary (Captions)

Age of Disclosure: Cast Commentary from the 2nd Screening (with Captions)

Following the first screening of Age of Disclosure, the cast commentary was shared on Twitter, featuring a QR code that led to a live captioning service. I utilized a browser script to capture the commentary during the second screening. Here’s a summary of the insights shared:

Behind the scenes, this was a team effort.

Right. Thank you.

Much appreciated.

Thank you!

It’s incredible to be here at South by Southwest, coming from East Texas. I’m grateful.

Indeed.

I opened my eyes for the first time years ago here in East Texas, and I hope some of you did too.

Awesome.

Thank you!

You all witnessed the visuals and everything that unfolded. I’ve spent countless hours with Congress and the executive branch to spotlight this issue. I even provided them with specific locations to view NE technology, but access was denied.

With your support and attention to this subject, advocate for your representatives. Push the executive branch and the president to promote transparency and help the world understand what we’ve been contending with—we are not alone.

Absolutely. Thank you to both of you.

Building on that, it’s alarming that Congress, our elected officials entitled to information, can’t access it. What concerns you the most about this situation?

That’s a complex question. I’ve been deeply involved with the UAP issue over the years, focusing on emerging and disruptive technologies. My role in the intelligence community was to prevent technological surprises, ensuring we remain leaders in technology and competitive on the battlefield.

The secret war we discussed in the film raises serious concerns—if adversaries like Russia or China crack the code on this technology before we do, it’ll be checkmate.

That’s a frightening possibility. Now, Brett, as the former head of aviation security on the White House National Security Council and a representative of the FAA on the government’s UAP task force, are we currently underestimating the safety risks to our airspace?

Absolutely. We’re underestimating it significantly. Take recent drone incidents. In Texas, for example, drone deliveries are becoming common, but this issue has been around for decades. Any unknown objects in our airspace are a national security concern—we need to find a way to report and address this effectively.

The FAA is making some progress, but bureaucratic barriers within the government hinder communication. It’s essential for the public to get involved in these discussions.

Especially concerning commercial aviation. As a pilot, if I were to sprain my ankle, I wouldn’t report it for fear of losing my career. Now consider someone who sees something unexplainable in the sky—this fear is similar.

Dan and Jay have particularly highlighted the importance of government officials acknowledging that we’ve witnessed these issues. We need to push for change, and I continue to engage with Congress regularly. This is a bipartisan issue, and we encourage everyone to get involved.

Thank you.

Could you expand on the bipartisan nature of this issue?

Certainly. Few events unite the United States like a crisis—think of 9/11 or World War II. We’re on the brink of a catastrophe if we fail to understand and share critical information.

Regarding the advanced technologies discussed—these innovations could transform humanity. We could provide clean power not just for America but for the entire world. This is a pressing issue that our representatives must grasp to benefit the American people.

I haven’t witnessed a topic that has generated as much dialogue—both publicly and privately—as this one.

And let’s remember that this extends beyond the United States; it’s a global issue for humanity.

Absolutely. Moving to Hal and Eric: with respect to the energy source of UAP, could it usher in both clean energy and potential weapons of mass destruction? Do you believe humanity can manage
