Marco Rubio UFO revelations shock Washington. Discover what he says about unidentified objects near America’s nuclear facilities.
WASHINGTON — In a revelation that’s sending shockwaves through Washington and beyond, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has publicly confirmed what whistleblowers and declassified reports have whispered for decades: unidentified objects are repeatedly breaching the skies above America’s most sensitive nuclear facilities.
The admission comes in a gripping new trailer for the documentary The Age of Disclosure, set to stream on Prime Video November 21, 2025, and it’s reigniting a fierce debate about government secrecy, national security, and what — or who — might be watching our deadliest weapons.
Rubio, a key figure in the Trump administration’s foreign policy machine, doesn’t mince words in the film’s preview.

“We’ve had repeated instances of something operating in the airspace over restricted nuclear facilities — and it’s not ours,” he tells director Dan Farah, his voice steady but laced with the gravity of someone who’s seen classified briefings most of us can only imagine.
He doubles down on the urgency, stating, “And we don’t know whose it is. That alone deserves inquiry, deserves attention, deserves focus.”
It’s a stark acknowledgment from a top diplomat who’s spent years navigating geopolitical minefields, now turning his gaze skyward.
The film, which premiered to buzz at the SXSW festival earlier this year, pulls back the curtain on what Farah calls “an 80-year global cover-up of non-human intelligent life” and a shadowy “secret war among major nations to reverse-engineer advanced technology of non-human origin.”
Drawing from interviews with 34 high-ranking U.S. officials — spanning Democrats and Republicans, military brass and intelligence vets — The Age of Disclosure isn’t some fringe conspiracy flick.
It’s got Rubio rubbing shoulders on screen with Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Sen. Mike Rounds, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and Rep. André Carson, the Indiana Democrat who chairs a key House intelligence subcommittee.
Carson, no stranger to these briefings, describes the objects as “otherworldly things that are performing maneuvers that haven’t been seen.”
Then there’s Jay Stratton, the ex-head of the Pentagon’s UAP Task Force, dropping the mic with: “I have seen with my own eyes non-human craft and non-human beings.”
Rubio hints at the bureaucratic black box enabling all this: “Even presidents have been operating on a need-to-know basis, but that begins to ramp out of control.”
Farah, the director behind hits like The Fog of War, told Entertainment Weekly this isn’t about debating existence — it’s about consequences.
“This is the biggest disinformation campaign in the history of the U.S. government,” he said. “Clearly, the facts around this topic have been covered up for 80 years and kept from the public, and every single high-level, credible person I interviewed did not think that was right.”
His big takeaway? The insiders aren’t asking if we’re alone; they’re fretting over a nightmare scenario: “What happens if an adversarial nation with bad intentions reverse engineers this technology and weaponizes it before we can figure it out?”
Farah hopes the doc, which snagged an Oscar-qualifying theatrical run in New York, L.A., and D.C., pushes the feds toward real transparency.
This isn’t Rubio’s first brush with the topic. Back when he was a senator, he grilled intelligence officials during 2021 hearings on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP, the Pentagon’s preferred term for UFOs these days).
But his on-camera candor here feels like a tipping point, especially amid a surge in sightings. The National UFO Reporting Center logged over 2,000 incidents in the first half of 2025 alone.
And nuclear sites? They’re ground zero.
The pattern stretches back to the dawn of the atomic age. As early as 1945, radar tracked an unidentified object over the Hanford plutonium plant in Washington state, months before Hiroshima.
Fast-forward to the 1960s: Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, home to nuclear-tipped ICBMs, saw multiple shutdowns. Former Air Force Capt. Robert Salas recalls a glowing red orb hovering overhead in 1967, right as 10 missiles went offline — unlaunchable, no explanation.
“WTF,” Salas quipped in a recent congressional hearing, interpreting it as an extraterrestrial red flag on our nukes.
He wasn’t alone; similar blackouts hit another site nearby, with UFOs spotted overhead.
Researcher Robert Hastings, whose book UFOs & Nukes compiles over 150 military witness accounts, calls it “extraordinary encounters at nuclear weapons sites.”
His 2016 doc adaptation features vets describing discs disabling warheads at bases like Minot and Warren. “The ones that are currently operational have been visited repeatedly year after year,” Hastings wrote.
Declassified docs back him up: FBI and CIA files from the ’40s to ’90s log 39 incursions at labs like Los Alamos and Oak Ridge.
Even abroad, the thread holds. A 2015 French study crunched UFO reports and found a “surprisingly high” correlation with atomic sites (p-value: 0.00013).
In the UK, a 2001 sighting hovered over a Kent nuke plant.
And post-Fukushima, Japanese witnesses — including a monk — reported lights “readjusting” radiation leaks.
The Pentagon’s not ignoring it. Their All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) dropped a 2024 report tallying 757 UAP cases from May 2023 to June 2024, with 21 screaming for deeper digs — including three where pilots were “trailed or shadowed.”
Luis Elizondo, ex-head of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, has testified that UAPs have “interfered and actually brought offline some of the U.S.’ nuclear capabilities.”
A 2023 Department of Energy dump revealed drone swarms and UAPs buzzing labs like Lawrence Livermore from 2018-2021.
Why the fixation? Experts like Hastings speculate these visitors — if that’s what they are — see nukes as a planetary off-switch. “Perhaps they have a use for our planet… and know that global nuclear warfare will disrupt their data-gathering,” he posits.
Elizondo echoes: a “congruency” with nuclear hubs worldwide.
A 2024 Harvard-linked study of 500+ sightings found UFO interest shifting from plants to silos and delivery systems — like they’re scouting our full arsenal.
Rubio’s words land heavy in 2025, with U.S.-Russia tensions simmering and China flexing. The doc’s trailer, dropping just days ago, has Joe Rogan hyping it as a “dam-breaker.”
Critics like The Hollywood Reporter’s Daniel Fienberg praise the creds but poke at the lack of counterpoints.
Still, as one Houston Chronicle columnist put it after SXSW: “Don’t believe Stratton and Elizondo? What about Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirming repeated instances… and it’s not ours?”
For now, The Age of Disclosure promises more answers — or at least more questions.
In a world staring down climate chaos and AI arms races, Rubio’s warning feels less like sci-fi and more like a wake-up call.
The truth may not be so much out there as we thought, rather it’s here.
