Disclosure Day director Steven Spielberg says he believes aliens from outer space have “absolutely” been on Earth and are still here to this day.
“Disclosure Day is about how, if somebody had the power and if somebody had possession of the entire archive of visual evidence of what’s been happening for the last 80 years, what would happen if they decided to do a data dump across the entire world all at once?” Steven Spielberg explained to CBS Sunday Morning. “And the people who are trying to stop that data dump from happening, that is basically the core of this chase movie.”
Considering he has addressed the topic of aliens in multiple films, including E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and War of the Worlds, Steven Spielberg has probably spent more time researching the subject than the average person.
So, when the interviewer asks him whether he believes aliens have ever visited Earth, his answer carries a little weight.
“Based on the circumstantial evidence of everything that I’ve gathered throughout my whole life, everybody I’ve listened to and every documentary I’ve ever watched and all the testimonies in Congress that I’ve heard, I absolutely think that they have been here, and they are here,” he responded. “And who knows, maybe they’ve always been here.”
Unfortunately, while he may be a believer, Steven Spielberg said he has never had a close encounter with aliens.
“Isn’t that terrible?” he said with a laugh. “I deserve that! I deserve a sighting. Ben, I need a sighting. I mean, I’m an ambassador to these guys, and they haven’t shown themselves to me? I don’t get that.”
‘We’re not alone in the universe’
In a separate interview with USA Today, a reporter asked Steven Spielberg how his understanding of extraterrestrials had evolved over the years.
“When I made Close Encounters, I needed a lot of imagination,” he said. “I believed there was other life out there, although I wasn’t quite sure if it had come here. I was really curious about UFOs and UAPs. I said, ‘I’m not going to call Close Encounters science fiction – I’m going to call it science speculation.’
“But since the beginning of the 21st century, there’s been more and more access to the actual visual truth. We’re able to confirm our belief by showing what we shot on our devices to other people. It’s just become overwhelming to me that we’re not alone in the universe.”
