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

Josh O'Connor as Daniel Kellner in Disclosure Day.

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.
