Response from Danny Sheehan and the New Paradigm Institute to the film The Age of Disclosure
For several weeks now, the New Paradigm Institute—together with our grassroots advocacy network, Citizens for Disclosure—has actively encouraged and invited the public to attend the premiere of the feature-length documentary film The Age of Disclosure. We have organized and hosted in-person watch party events nationwide, inviting friends and neighbors to view and discuss the film with one another, and then with their members of Congress.
The Age of Disclosure is a praiseworthy two-hour presentation that argues there is “zero doubt” about the existence of UFOs/UAP. It features 34 high-ranking U.S. military, intelligence, and government leaders who speak openly about an eight-decade-long U.S. government cover-up of the UFO/UAP phenomenon; the presence here on Earth of extraterrestrial, non-human intelligence (ET/NHI); and the existence of a vast, above-top-secret U.S. government program devoted to reverse-engineering and militarizing the propulsion and energy technologies of captured UFO/UAP vehicles for the American national security state.
The Age of Disclosure, its director and producer Dan Farah, and all the government officials who contributed to the film should be applauded for their remarkable achievement in bringing an issue long relegated to tabloids into the American mainstream. The film is building momentum to advance further U.S. government transparency and disclosure regarding this extraordinary, paradigm-altering reality.
At the same time, in the New Paradigm Institute’s view, the documentary presents a one-sided perspective on the ET/NHI phenomenon, advancing only a national security threat narrative.
As an initiative of our long-respected Romero Institute, the New Paradigm Institute is a public service project rooted in advancing human rights, ethical democratic governance, a healthy environment, and the interfaith values of peace, reconciliation, and the elevation of consciousness for our entire human family. We therefore hold an abiding faith that the overwhelming majority of American citizens—and citizens around the world—are sincerely devoted to achieving full disclosure to unite our human family; to dismantle and constructively reform unjust social and economic structures here on Earth; to secure for our entire species the benefits of ET/NHI technology and clean energy; and to restore the living biosystems of our planet as we take our rightful—and appropriate—place in a newly revealed, advanced, galactic civilization that is not entirely human.
For this reason, the New Paradigm Institute encourages everyone to think beyond the fear-based national security state narrative advanced by The Age of Disclosure. This narrative has been deployed for 80 years to rationalize an unconstitutional secrecy regime. It is now being used to promote a restricted, controlled form of disclosure—one designed to preserve and expand claims of full-spectrum military dominance on our planet.
Based on more than 50 years of deep research, including the evaluation of hundreds of direct eyewitness and experiencer accounts, New Paradigm Institute leadership and members maintain that the ET/NHI presence—which has been interacting with humanity since at least 1947—is, on balance, benevolent. While we must remain realistic and vigilant in protecting human agency over our planet and our destiny in our galaxy, we firmly believe that disclosure presents our species with a unique opportunity. We can choose peaceful international and interstellar cooperation, along with the kind of planetary transformation long advocated by humanity’s spiritual and philosophical traditions. Indeed, this age of disclosure should be—and can be—the long-prayed-for turning point toward unity and a new paradigm for the human species.
The New Paradigm Institute will therefore continue to encourage the public to watch The Age of Disclosure and to organize and host watch parties to discuss the film. It is a vital resource for educating both citizens and government policymakers. We will also encourage citizens to view this moment through the lens of effective diplomatic relations with beings far more advanced than we are—relations that could catalyze a leap in human consciousness and help unlock solutions to our current existential threats: nuclear war, planetary pollution, and climate change.
