Donald Trump ‘could soon confirm the existence of non-human intelligence’
While promoting his documentary The Age of Distained, filmmaker Dan Farah said Donald Trump may soon confirm the existence of non-human intelligence.
The director has spoken publicly about the film’s claim that the US government has been hiding evidence of nonhuman life for decades.
His film, now in select theaters and on Amazon Prime, draws on interviews with dozens of people identified as insiders in the military, intelligence agencies and government.
Dan spoke about the possibility of authorities confirming alien life in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, which reported that he believes political leaders may soon make the issue public.
He said: “I think it’s just a matter of time after this movie comes out before a sitting president steps up to the podium and tells the world, ‘We’re not alone in the universe.’ That’s the most important moment a leader can have.” The Independent reported that the White House had been asked to comment on his comments.
In the same interview, Dan described speaking to 34 people who claimed to have knowledge of what he called “an 80-year global cover-up of intelligent non-human life and a secret war among major nations to reverse engineer advanced technology of non-human origin.”
His documentary features contributions from political figures such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, New York senator Kirsten Gillibrand, and former director of national intelligence James Clapper, who discuss government investigations into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.
“UAPs are real, they’re here, and they’re not people,” a former senior CIA official says in the film’s trailer.
Dan told Entertainment Weekly that after completing the film, he was informed by “people involved in my film and sources outside of my film” that Donald Trump “had become aware of the basic facts and was trying to learn everything his team needed to know so we could decide on a course of action.”
He said: “I know 100 percent that the movie is on his radar, and look, President Trump said during the campaign that he intends to declassify what the government knows about this.”
In July 2024, Trump told influencer Logan Paul that he wasn’t a “believer” in aliens, adding: “I wouldn’t say I probably am. But I’ve met serious people who say they’ve seen some really weird things flying out there.”
In September 2024, when podcaster Lex Fridman asked him if he would release more UAP footage, Trump said: “I’ll do that. I would do that. I’d love to do that. I have to do that.”
In an interview with Joe Rogan the following month, Trump said extraterrestrial life “was never my thing,” adding: “There’s no reason not to think there’s life on Mars and all these planets.”
The Congress also held hearings on UAPs.
In September, representative Anna Paulina Luna called for more transparency, saying: “The American people deserve maximum transparency from the federal government regarding the viewing, purchase and review of UAPs and whether they pose a potential threat to the safety of Americans.”
“For too long, the public has been blatantly lied to, kept in the dark, and misled by a really sophisticated disinformation campaign,” Dan told Entertainment Weekly.
“And I think we’re now at a tipping point where not only does the public deserve to know the truth, but it’s really important because the stakes have never been higher.
“And the risks affect not just everyone in the United States, but everyone around the world.”
