UFOs for Beginners Part 1 | What Is Disclosure?

What does “disclosure” actually mean—and would we recognise it if it happened? In the first instalment of UFOs for Beginners, Stu Jackson and Neil Kelly unpack one of the most commonly used and frequently misunderstood words in ufology. Does disclosure mean the release of classified documents? An official admission that some sightings remain unexplained? Evidence of technology beyond known human capabilities? Recovered materials, crashed craft, non-human bodies—or direct communication with another intelligence? Stu outlines eight possible levels of disclosure, while Neil asks what evidence would genuinely be convincing and whether any government announcement could ever satisfy those who believe more information is being withheld. The discussion also explores catastrophic versus controlled disclosure, scientific peer review, national security, government secrecy, public trust, ontological shock and how confirmation of non-human intelligence might affect everyday life. This series is designed for anyone who is new to UFOs and UAPs, curious about the subject or looking for a clear introduction without either ridicule or unquestioning belief. Spoiler notice: This episode contains some discussion of plot elements from the film Disclosure Day. What would disclosure mean to you—and how would you react if it happened tomorrow?
