Steven Spielberg is making a new UFO movie called “Disclosure Day” — and the timing is raising eyebrows. With real-world disclosure efforts underway and the government registering aliens.gov, the film feels less like science fiction and more like… preparation.
Steven Spielberg has shaped how generations think about alien contact. From Close Encounters of the Third Kind to E.T., his films have defined the cultural narrative around extraterrestrials. Now, he’s returning to the genre with a new film that’s dropping at arguably the most significant moment in UFO history.
It’s called Disclosure Day.

The Movie
Title: Disclosure Day
Director: Steven Spielberg
Release date: June 12, 2026
Studio: Universal Pictures
Stars: Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Eve Hewson
Script: David Koepp (longtime Spielberg collaborator)
The film is being described as “a secret sequel to Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” According to the official movie site, it features “a mysterious alien force communicating with humanity in an unconventional way,” “glowing UFOs,” and “the shady government agency trying to cover it all up.”
As Deadline reports, the trailer opens with Josh O’Connor’s character revealing that he’s stolen government secrets he was paid to protect.
The Timing
Here’s where it gets interesting:
- February 2026: Trump announces UFO disclosure directive
- March 2026: aliens.gov registered
- June 12, 2026: Disclosure Day hits theaters
Is this a coincidence? Or is Hollywood being used as a softening mechanism for what’s coming?
The Speculation
“The government is behind this”
- The movie normalizes disclosure before it happens
