Legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg has admitted that years of UFO reports and eyewitness accounts have convinced him that people claiming to have seen them deserve to be believed. While promoting his new film ‘Disclosure Day,’ Spielberg said widespread documentation, smartphone videos, and testimony from military and government figures helped move the subject of UFOs from tabloid territory into the mainstream.

Spielberg’s Change of Heart

Spielberg acknowledged he had grown more willing to trust those who claimed they had seen UFOs, despite never having seen one himself. He started paying closer attention when UFO stories were no longer confined to the fringes and high-profile voices began stepping forward with their own accounts.

Spielberg’s ‘Disclosure Day’ centers on the revelation that extraterrestrial life has been secretly known about for decades, following a whistleblower and a TV meteorologist who become entangled in efforts to expose a massive government cover-up. The movie marks Spielberg’s return to the UFO and alien themes that made films like ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ and ‘E.T.’ cultural landmarks.
