The Age of Disclosure will probably BE disclosure. Just not the kind we want.

This goes out to everyone who's expecting absolutely nothing from this doc, as well as the few who are expecting too much. I think both are overreacting and there are far too few of us in the middle.

First off, we are going to hear from dozens of highly expert individuals that NHI are real and they're here. Some will be the usual suspects we don't care to hear from again, but others will be new and important voices. This won't exactly be a president, but definitely some people who are well qualified to speak on behalf of a president. For all intents and purposes, this IS disclosure, writ narrowly. We're about to arrive at the minimal definition of the term. Don't undersell the significance of this just because it won't practically change our lives and we still have to work.

However, this will not be evidenced disclosure. It will be all of these people telling us the same thing, and expecting us to take them at their word due to their high reputations. We won't be seeing any retrieved craft or bodies. We may never. But the initial confession will be here, from people in a position to make it. The fact that no one following the topic will be alarmed by this and we'll act like nothing new was said demonstrates how far we've come.

It will also not be "disclosure-plus", which I think is what most of the community means by "disclosure". We want materials to be released to civilian labs, we want to understand propulsion technologies and psionics and whatnot. This won't be that, and we may never get it, not from government actors. But it will be disclosure, minus the plus, if the promotional cycle is not completely lying. If the people appearing in this film, especially the new faces, are as prominent as we're led to believe, the D-word will fit.

So I'm saying this as a warning not to get too hostile when this drops. We've had pitchforks out all year compared to last year. This is not going to be what we actually want, but what it will be is what disclosure advocates in the 1950s could only dream of. Please appreciate that. We're almost to the finish line; we've just pushed the line so far back that it doesn't feel like it anymore, but this is the one that was set originally.
