Conspiracy theorists have that special ability to jump to the most implausible conclusions from the smallest amount of facts.
I tried to watch The Age Of Disclosure and, well… Everyone in it manages to stay relatively reasonable during the first fourth of the movie. Until they decide that the most likely explanation of all those unexplained phenomenons is a race of technologically advanced extraterrestrials hiding at the bottom of the ocean for thousands of years.
It went from "we don't know anything" to "it's threatening aquatic ETs" in a heartbeat. It was almost scary.
Of all the current US conspiracy theories, the UFO/UAP conspiracy is still the most interesting and fully developed/ongoing conspiracy space. Just check out the recent 'Age of Disclosure' documentary from this year.
I'm not arguing a position on the theory, just saying it's very active and has the old-school qualities that were present in the 90's.
In the same week we have stories that claim Russia (and the US) has reverse engineered alien spacecraft[0] and that they need spy pigeons.
[0] The Age of Disclosure film
NYT is featuring dueling narratives about the film released today Age of Disclosure. The first, by Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal, could be anticipated as these authors wrote the seminal 2017 NYT article (post's link) that kicked off the modern-day awareness movement toward UAP transparency. Kean has regularly engaged with the individuals appearing in the film through podcasts and articles over the intervening years.
The 2nd is by reviewer Ben Kenigsberg, is the more typical "I'm a normie, you'll look dumb if you watch this film' take that politically inconvenient citizen investigation movements (think covid origins before 2021, Epstein prior to this year, and UAP) have come to expect from mass media.
