Ever since the U.S. government began publicly acknowledging that there are unexplained objects and phenomena being investigated, interest in UFOs has exploded all over again. The desire to know whether we are truly alone has been around for decades, though recent years have given the subject an entirely new level of attention.
Remember when everyone wanted to storm Area 51 during the pandemic? We have to wonder where some of those folks are now, because the conversation surrounding UFOs and UAPs has continued to grow, with new information, testimony and mysteries finding their way into the public eye.
Now, Breaking Glass Pictures is getting in on the conversation with COUNTDOWN TO CONTACT, a new documentary from filmmaker Clive Christopher exploring the growing movement surrounding UFO disclosure, unidentified anomalous phenomena and the possibility of extraterrestrial contact.

The documentary arrives at a time when UAP investigations and government transparency have become increasingly visible parts of the public conversation. Rather than simply asking whether strange things are flying around in the sky, COUNTDOWN TO CONTACT looks at what could happen if previously undisclosed information or evidence surrounding UFOs and UAPs becomes more widely accepted.
The film poses a much bigger question: If the truth about extraterrestrial life is finally acknowledged, how will the public respond?
That question gives COUNTDOWN TO CONTACT plenty of territory to explore, from government disclosure and alleged alien encounters to the possibility of extraterrestrial life and humanity’s seemingly endless search for answers.
The documentary features interviews and appearances from Clive Christopher, Elizabeth Compton, Matthew Lucero, Andre McBride and Andrew Tucker, along with members of Congress including Rep. Nancy Mace, Rep. Glenn Grothman, Rep. Jared Moskowitz and Rep. Robert Garcia.
Christopher directs the film and also produces alongside Rich Wolff, Susan Helfrich and Maryjane Byfield.
Whether you’re convinced we’re being visited, firmly planted in the “show me the evidence” camp or simply fascinated by the questions surrounding UAPs, the subject isn’t going away anytime soon. COUNTDOWN TO CONTACT looks to add another voice to an increasingly crowded conversation about what humanity might discover if we finally get answers.
