Steven Spielberg's claims that aliens have already visited Earth have drawn a mixed but pointed scientists' reaction this week, with astrophysicists in the UK and Australia stressing that while extraterrestrial life is likely to exist somewhere in the universe, there is still no credible evidence that aliens are on Earth now or have ever been here.
The 79‑year‑old director has been promoting his new sci‑fi film 'Disclosure Day' and, in doing so, has been leaning heavily into the subject that made his name with 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.' In a recent interview with CBS News, Spielberg said he is 'absolutely' convinced that extraterrestrials have already visited our planet, and may even still be here, basing his view on what he called a lifetime of watching documentaries, listening to testimonies and following US congressional hearings on UFOs.
