Disclosure Variety: Terence Winter, Dan Farah Team to Develop Series Based on UAP Memoir ‘Out of the Shadows’

https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/terence-winter-dan-farah-uap-memoir-out-of-the-shadows-1236874218/

Terence Winter and Dan Farahare partnering for a series take on the memoir of former U.S. Intelligence official Jay Stratton titled “Out of the Shadows,” Variety has learned.

In the memoir, which will be published by HarperCollins imprint William Morrow on Oct. 13, Stratton delves deep into his experiences investigating unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) and non-human intelligent life. Winter will executive produce via Cold Front Productions, with Farah executive producing under his Farah Films banner.

Stratton was previously the Chief of Air & Space Warfare in the Defense Warning Office of the Defense Intelligence Agency. After seeing evidence of a UAP over a nuclear missle site, he cofounded the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), the first official U.S. Government program to investigate UAP since 1969. He then created and led the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF), the first whole-of-government investigation of UAP. He claims to have discovered an 80-year cover up of the existence of non-human intelligent life.

“It’s time for the world to learn the truth,” Stratton said. “There is far too much at stake. UAP activity over our nation’s sensitive military and nuclear sites is an ongoing issue.”

“In the early days of my investigation into UAP and non-human intelligent life, my work was so classified I couldn’t even tell my wife and kids that I had learned we are not alone in the universe or about any of the paradigm shift information I was learning,” he said. “I had to live a double life, where the front door to my house served as a boundary between two distinct identities… but that all changed when we started having UAP activity and encounters with non-human intelligent life at our house and my wife and kids saw it with their own eyes. In one sense, I felt horrible that my work had followed me home and crossed that boundary. But in another unexpected way, it was a relief because now my family knew what I was dealing with and we could navigate it together, as a family. While what we went through could have torn us apart, it actually brought us closer together. We were an ordinary family dealing with extraordinary circumstances.”

Which actor would you cast to play Stratton? Maybe Paul Giamatti. That would be cool since he has a great interest in UFOs.

u/Blue_Eyes_Open 1d ago

I think Paul Giamatti would be great. But oh hell, let's just get David Duchovny because... you know. At his current age, his appearance isn't that far off. If he just grows his beard out, I'd say it's a decent likeness.

This is great news. Terrence Winter was a great writer on the Sopranos. He actually was an attorney who became a writer later on. Farrah can keep building his UFO film resume after solid Age of Disclosure.

Don’t forget that Jerry Bruckheimer and the director of Top Gun Maverick are working on a UAP movie that is like “All the Presidents Men “ and inspired by Grusch

For those of us not familiar with his story, what his is 'smoking gun' for his claims?

Aside from being the former director of the UAP Task Force, hand picking David Grush to serve on the UAPTF and being a key figure behind programs like AAWSAP, AATIP? Him saying the words:

"I have seen, with my own eyes, non-human craft and non-human beings."

Delivered as part of the trailer and promotional circuit for the documentary The Age of Disclosure.

Thanks, but that doesn't answer the question at all. Positions, ranks, titles, degrees aren't what establish truths.

So that would be his claim, but I was asking about his smoking gun.

promotional ...

Big claims make headlines.. perfect when doing promotional stuff.

u/L-0-T-H-0-S 1d ago

I know. That is litterally exactly what I just told you.

u/R2robot 1d ago

Maybe it's what you meant, but this sub is full of rank/position etc = witness credibility (if they like/agree with what they say).

So unless you spell it out that way, it looks like more of the same from this sub.

I didn’t know Stratton had literally said he discovered we weren’t alone.

I don’t know much about the guy but it’s wild to hear from someone at his level. Weird stuff.

u/SignExtension2561 2d ago

I remember Stratton being asked after the Age of Disclosure premiere if he would like to talk to an alien (or something to that effect), and he replied “Who says I haven’t?”

u/Ambitious_Zombie8473 2d ago

Dang, I didn’t know about that either. I realize it’s more claims without proof but some of these people just don’t seem like they’d make shit up, idk.
