For decades, “disclosure” was a word reserved for late-night radio and grainy conference footage. Today, it is suddenly moving into the center of politics, finance, and mainstream news. A senior adviser to Marco Rubio now openly says the United States is “headed toward massive disclosure” on UFOs, while prediction markets put surprisingly high odds on Trump declassifying UFO files in 2025. At the same time, new statistics show thousands of fresh UFO and UAP reports in 2025, including dense clusters of objects tracked over and under the oceans.
None of this proves that governments are about to reveal everything they know about non-human technology. It does, however, show that something has changed inside the system itself. Officials are speaking more freely, markets are pricing in political risk around disclosure, and a wave of documentaries and reports is preparing the public for a reality that was dismissed only a few years ago.
On Secret History Of The World, I am tracking this shift as a historian, not a hype machine. My new paid analysis looks at why the real tipping point is unlikely to be a single press conference in 2025, and much more likely to be a managed, staged process that peaks around 2026. The timing matters because it is tied to elections, legal reforms, contracts with private defense companies, and the slow grinding tempo of classification reviews.
If you want a serious, evidence-based walkthrough of why 2026 is emerging as a quiet disclosure deadline, and what that means for how we read both ancient myths and modern power, you can find the full deep dive on my Substack.
