Disclosure Day writer addresses the wild internet rumor that the movie will reveal the truth about aliens

Disclosure Day is almost upon us. Steven Spielberg’s latest movie is a UFO-themed science fiction epic that marks the great director’s return to a topic that has thrilled and inspired him for decades. But, perhaps, we’re also talking about a real event: the US government finally coming clean about the truth of extra-terrestrial life. Or, as the UFOlogists put it, “disclosure”.

That’s what one theory presupposes, anyway. Amid likely unsubstantiated rumors that Disclosure Day may turn out to be a stealth sequel to 1977’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind comes another, much wilder theory: that the film is actually a part of the real world disclosure movement, and that Spielberg is working with the government to help break the news about the existence of aliens to the general public.
