Rubio’s UFO Testimony in The Age of Disclosure

On November 21, 2025, a documentary titled The Age of Disclosure (The Age of Disclosure) premiered on Amazon Prime Video and quickly became the highest-grossing documentary in the platform’s history. The film brings together, from the U.S. government, the military, and the intelligence community, 34 senior figures‘ testimony and views, aiming to expose a secret that had been covered up for 80 years—and one of the most startling people to appear on camera was the then U.S. senator from Florida and current U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio (Marco Rubio)。

Rubio’s remarks in the film deserve particular attention: he stated them publicly before he became U.S. Secretary of State. They represent his independent judgment as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, not an official position as a Cabinet officer. That gives these remarks a distinctive credibility and historical weight.

UFOs over Nuclear Facilities: “It’s Not Ours”

Rubio’s most striking statement in the documentary is about unidentified flying objects over American nuclear facilities. In his own words:

We’ve had repeated instances of something operating in the airspace over restricted nuclear facilities, and it’s not ours.

—We’ve had repeated instances of something operating in the airspace over restricted nuclear facilities, and it’s not ours.

He added that these reports of UFOs “keep me up at night” (keeps me up at night). He went further and said that even the president of the United States “knows very little” about this information, and that it may even be that “things are getting out of control” (things are getting out of control)。

The weight of these remarks is that Rubio’s tone is affirmative, not speculative. As former vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he had access to the most classified defense briefings, and what he says implies that he had seen evidence far beyond what the public knows.

Government Concealment and the Public’s Right to Know

Rubio’s appearance is itself a political signal. In the documentary he says plainly:

This is a crucial topic.

—This is a crucial topic.

He defines the UFO/UAP question as a national-security issue, not science fiction or a fringe topic. He says that reports of unidentified flying objects over nuclear facilities have continued for years, and that the fact that “these are not ours” itself means one of two things: either a foreign adversary holds technology far beyond what we understand, or some non-human intelligence exists.

Rubio also implies that certain government entities may have kept the relevant intelligence from the White House itself. That points to a deep problem in the internal structure of power: inside the national-security machinery there exists a kind of “deep mechanism” that bypasses ordinary democratic oversight and the chain of command, so that even the president may be kept in the dark.

From Senator to Secretary of State: A Consistent Stance

The UFO views Rubio expresses in The Age of Disclosure match the public position he has held for years. As a senator he repeatedly called, in public, for the government to be more transparent about UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena):

• 2019-2020: As acting chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Rubio pushed to write UAP investigations into the intelligence authorization bill
• 2020: In a media interview he said the UAP reported by U.S. military pilots “must be taken seriously”
• 2021: After the Pentagon released its UAP report, he said publicly that “we have only touched the tip of the iceberg”

The testimony in The Age of Disclosure is the high point of his position in that period—a shift from “this should be investigated” to “I have seen enough evidence. The problem is real”。

Why Rubio’s Testimony Matters

Rubio’s views on UFOs deserve to be taken seriously for several reasons:

First, institutional credibility. He is not a fringe theorist or a flying-saucer hobbyist. He is one of the most influential national-security legislators in American politics, with direct oversight of the intelligence community. What he says is an institutional voice, not a personal preference.

Second, access to information. As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he could see the most classified UAP files held by the Pentagon and the intelligence community. When he says, in the affirmative, “those are not ours,” it is likely grounded in classified data—radar tracks, infrared imagery, and checks from multiple sensors.

Third, he is not a lone case. The 34 people interviewed in the documentary The Age of Disclosure include a former Director of National Intelligence, former senior CIA officials, veteran fighter pilots, and a professor at the Stanford School of Medicine. Rubio’s view is one part of that whole chain of evidence, not a statement standing by itself.

Fourth, political risk. For a politician, talking about UFOs on camera in a documentary still carries a risk to one’s reputation. Rubio’s choice to appear shows that he thinks the public’s knowing about this matters more than the political risk.

Other Key Testimony in the Documentary

Rubio’s view does not stand by itself. The Age of Disclosure includes startling statements from several senior officials:

• Jay Stratton (Jay Stratton), former head of the U.S. government’s UAP task force, says outright in the film: “I have seen non-human craft and non-human beings with my own eyes.”
• Luis Elizondo (Luis Elizondo), former head of AATIP (the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program), pointed out that non-human intelligence has been conducting intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance around the world since the 1940s。
• Several military pilots confirmed it: the flight performance shown by the unidentified objects “surpasses any technology we possess now or will possess within the next 20 years.”

Rubio ties these separate testimonies together and gives this long-marginalized subject an endorsement at the institutional level.

Outlook: A Global Race and What It Means Strategically

The documentary also opens a deeper strategic dimension: a global race over extraterrestrial technology. Stratton, a former Defense Intelligence Agency official, warns in the film:

The first country that cracks the code on this technology will be the leader for years to come. This is similar to The Manhattan Project; this is the atomic weapon on steroids.

—The first country that cracks the code on this technology will be the leader for years to come. This is similar to the Manhattan Project; this is the atomic weapon on steroids.

Rubio does not use that wording himself, but his role as Secretary of State adds a diplomatic dimension to the worry: if these technologies really exist, and countries are secretly racing to decipher them, the old geopolitical frame will be overturned.

Conclusion

Rubio’s remarks in The Age of Disclosure are a public setting of the tone on the UFO question by a central political figure with a deep knowledge of the American national-security system. He states these core points clearly:

1. Unidentified flying objects keep appearing over U.S. nuclear facilities, and the situation is real and ongoing
2. These craft were not made by the United States, and their origin is unknown
3. The relevant information may have been subject to systematic concealment inside the government
4. The issue has left him, as a national-security legislator who knows the facts, seriously uneasy
5. The public has a right to know the truth

These views come from a political heavyweight who later became the highest diplomat of the United States, which makes The Age of Disclosure one of the great watershed documents in the history of UFO research. Rubio put his political credibility behind a simple statement: We need to stop pretending this problem does not exist.
