“You kind of knew that Steven Spielberg believes in aliens. But did you know know? In your heart of hearts? The man behind E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and War of the Worlds is leaving no doubt now. At a recent event at the 2026 SXSW film festival, Spielberg revealed himself to be not just someone with a casual interest in extraterrestrials but a genuine alien-conspiracy theorist.
During a keynote conversation at the Austin festival, the director explained that his new highly under-wraps June 2026 movie Disclosure Day — his first alien film in 21 years and his fourth since Close Encounters in 1977 — began in 2019 when a New York Times article about Navy pilots seeing unexplained flying objects piqued his interest. He’d watched with rapt interest the 2022 and 2023 congressional subcommittee hearings with military officials testifying under oath about their belief in UFOs (or UAPs) and the government covering it up. And his conclusion?
“I don’t know any more than you do, but I have a very strong, sneaking suspicion that we are not alone here on Earth right now, and I made a movie about that,” he declared, smiling.”

Take this post down. “We are not alone on Earth”. That’s not what he said. Just don’t pick out parts of sentences for clickbait please.

I wish the damn aliens would just do a special on CNN or some shit. Or do a Max Headroom and just takeover a TV station. Or maybe a livestream. So many options that gov’ts won’t be able to suppress. I truly don’t care what happens next. Utopia or let it burn. As long as shit doesn’t stay like it is now.

Probably not, as I’ve seen in science fiction stated by a alien lifeform.

He has been making movies to familiarize the human race with the idea of extraterrestrial life for most of his career. There’s a reason for that.

Cool. Show your evidence…
Bro you can’t put something in quotes that he did not literally say
Sadly there’s other people on it.
He admits he doesn’t know more than us.
Well, no reason to watch the movie now lol
