Spoilers for Disclosure Day. Jason and Rachel review Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg's new alien movie starring Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colman Domingo, Colin Firth, and Wyatt Russell. There are things to like here: Emily Blunt is great, Colman Domingo remains a human weighted blanket, and a few sequences feel like vintage Spielberg. But the movie's big alien reveal, TV station climax, confusing character logic, and “world peace / just listen” ending left us deeply frustrated. We talk Close Encounters comparisons, little green men, thumb drives, World War III, invisible fire trucks, AI-era skepticism, David Koepp, Spielberg nostalgia, and why Disclosure Day ends up as a disappointed thumbs down.

Legendary Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg (Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, ET: The Extra Terrestrial, Close Encounters of the Third Kind) returns to the science fiction genre for the first time in almost twenty years with this mystery thriller focusing on a group of scientists (Josh O'Connor, Oscar-nominee Colman Domingo) who are attempting to find and release classified information from the United States government about the existence of alien life and its presence on our planet.  Standing in their way is a shadowy organization lead by Oscar-winner Colin Firth (The King's Speech, Kingsman, A Single Man) and the key towards revealing the truth MIGHT lie with a Kansas City meterologist (Oscar-nominee Emily Blunt) who begins to communicate with others around her in unexpected ways.  Will the truth be revealed??

In this episode of Tinfoil Tales, Brandon sits down with Ernie, who shares one of the most detailed and unsettling Sasquatch encounters ever discussed on the show. What began as a routine hunting trip in a remote mountain area turned into a face-to-face encounter with a massive, intelligent being unlike anything he had ever experienced.Ernie describes how he unknowingly walked into what appeared to be a coordinated hunting scenario involving multiple creatures. As the situation unfolded, he came within just a few feet of one of them—close enough to observe its physical features, behavior, and what he believes were intentional communication attempts through gestures and body language.Rather than acting aggressively, the being appeared curious and deliberate, using movements that Ernie later came to interpret as a form of communication. The encounter challenges common assumptions about these creatures, suggesting a level of intelligence, strategy, and awareness that goes far beyond what most people believe. The conversation also explores broader topics, including:The possibility of Sasquatch using coordinated hunting tacticsReports of vocalizations, whistling, and non-verbal communicationWhy many witnesses wait decades before coming forwardThe role of mindset and environment in close encountersThe idea that these beings may be far more human-like than expectedErnie also discusses the challenges of sharing experiences like this publicly, the skepticism surrounding the topic, and why so much potential evidence is dismissed or ignored. This is not just a story about seeing something in the woods. It's a detailed account of an encounter that raises serious questions about intelligence, communication, and what may still exist just outside our understanding.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tinfoil-tales--6147818/support. Want to be a Guest? If you have a paranormal encounter, conspiracy theory, or unexplained story to share, we'd love to hear from you!

Steven Spielberg returns to one of the defining obsessions of his career with Disclosure Day, a science-fiction thriller inspired by modern UFO disclosure debates and decades of speculation about extraterrestrial life. Written by longtime Spielberg collaborator David Koepp from a story Spielberg reportedly carried with him for years, the film stars Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, and Colman Domingo in a story about government secrecy, hidden truths, and humanity's first official reckoning with the reality of alien contact.Released on June 12, 2026, Disclosure Day has been praised by critics for its ambition, performances, and Spielberg's trademark sense of wonder, while generating a far more divided reaction among audiences. Is the confirmation that aliens exist still the earth-shattering revelation it once was, or has popular culture spent the last eighty years preparing us for that moment? In this episode, we discuss whether Spielberg's latest film is a hopeful meditation on truth and humanity's place in the universe, or a story built around a revelation that no longer carries the dramatic weight it did in the era of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Join us as we break down the film, its themes, its cultural relevance, and whether Disclosure Day arrived at exactly the wrong moment in history.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Almost 50 years ago, Steven Spielberg directed “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” the story of an average man who discovers that humanity may not be alone in the universe. Over the decades, Spielberg has directed several movies about what would happen if humanity made contact with aliens. Would the aliens be kind like the title character in “E.T. the Extra Terrestrial”? Would they be cruel like the murderous aliens of “War of the Worlds”? And regardless of what the aliens were like, would we humans be ready to receive them? Spielberg returns to the question of whether we're alone in the universe, and what it might mean if we're not, with his new film “Disclosure Day.” Today, he sits down with Rachel Abrams, a host of “The Daily,” to talk about the film, and about what he has learned over five decades of making movies about aliens.   On Today's Episode Steven Spielberg, director of “Disclosure Day.”   Background Reading ‘Disclosure Day' Review: Spielberg Plays His Greatest Cosmic Hits What Steven Spielberg Taught Me About Fear, Catharsis, and Being Human   Photo credit: Paolo Pellegrin/Magnum, for The New York Times Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Steven Spielberg believes humanity may discover extraterrestrial life within our lifetime, which is either the beginning of the greatest scientific revelation in history or an elaborate way of making everyone look up from their phones for five minutes.In this episode of Mark and Pete, we look at Spielberg's comments about UFOs, UAPs, alien life and the belief that we may not be alone in the universe. The director of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T. and War of the Worlds has spent decades turning the possibility of extraterrestrials into cinema, but now he appears increasingly convinced that the evidence is pointing beyond fiction.We ask what has changed. Is it the testimony of military pilots, unexplained radar sightings, government hearings and the modern language of unidentified anomalous phenomena? Or are we simply living through another great age of speculation, now with better cameras, worse attention spans and more podcasts?There is still no publicly confirmed scientific proof of intelligent alien life. That matters. Mystery is not proof, a blurry light is not a spaceship, and congressional testimony is not the same thing as a little green man asking for parking validation. Still, the subject has moved a long way from cheap tabloids and men in desert lay-bys. Governments discuss it. Scientists prepare protocols. Spielberg, who has thought about this rather more than most of us, says discovery may come sooner than we imagine.We also consider the Christian response. Would extraterrestrial life undermine Christianity? Not remotely. The Bible presents a universe crowded with created beings, visible and invisible, all under the authority of Christ. Discovering life elsewhere would enlarge our understanding of creation, not reduce the Creator.Aliens, UFOs, UAP disclosure, Steven Spielberg, extraterrestrial intelligence, SETI, NASA, Christian theology and the search for life beyond Earth. It is all here. Along with the sensible reminder that, before announcing first contact, one should probably check it is not Venus.

New Realities with Alan Steinfeld Disclosure Day, Higher Frequencies, and the Threshold of a New Human Reality Guests, Dr. J.J. Hurtak and Dr. Desiree Hurtak, Linda Moulton Howe Spielberg's Disclosure Day Opens a Bigger Conversation In this episode of New Realities, host Alan Steinfeld gathers a panel to review Steven Spielberg's newly released film Disclosure Day. Alan is joined by longtime UFO investigator Linda Moulton Howe, along with Dr. J.J. Hurtak and Dr. Desiree Hurtak, who bring perspectives from UFO research, consciousness studies, spirituality, ancient texts, and the wider disclosure movement. Alan frames the film as perhaps one of the most anticipated cinematic events in modern UFO culture, because it deals not simply with science fiction, but with the possibility that humanity is being prepared for a deeper truth about non-human intelligence. Frequencies, Clicking Sounds, and Consciousness Communication Linda Moulton Howe begins by emphasizing the importance of frequency in the film. She connects Spielberg's use of clicking sounds and nonverbal communication to government documents, abduction cases, and reports she has heard from experiencers over decades of research. Dr. J.J. Hurtak also highlights the film's treatment of language, sound, and consciousness, contrasting it with Close Encounters of the Third Kind, where communication was centered more on tones and music. In Disclosure Day, the panel says Spielberg brings in the human element more fully, suggesting that extraterrestrial contact may involve mind-to-mind communication, frequency, empathy, and higher consciousness rather than ordinary speech alone. From Science Fiction to a Disclosure Bridge Alan and the panel repeatedly stress that they do not see Disclosure Day as merely another science fiction movie. They argue that Spielberg has gathered decades of UFO, UAP, consciousness, government secrecy, telepathy, cover-up, and experiencer material into a film that functions as a bridge between old disbelief and a new cultural acceptance. Alan says Spielberg seems to have been a serious student of the phenomenon, including many familiar themes from UFO research: government secrecy, private industry involvement, recovered craft, mind control, empathy, and the question of whether the public has a right to know. Government, Corporations, and the Machinery of Secrecy A major part of the discussion focuses on the film's depiction of government secrecy and private industry. Alan references the fictional corporation Wardex, which is tied to retrieval and extraction programs, and connects that to real-world claims associated with figures such as Lieutenant Colonel Philip J. Corso. Linda and the Hurtaks discuss how governments may have transferred recovered technologies or sensitive programs into corporate hands to create plausible deniability. Linda traces this secrecy back to World War II and Eisenhower-era briefings, while Alan says the film dramatizes the tension between those who hide the truth and those who believe humanity has a right to know. Fear, Love, and the Human Right to the Truth The panel describes the film as a contest between fear-based secrecy and the higher message of empathy, love, and transcendence. Alan says humanity is caught between fear and higher consciousness, and that the film presents empathy as a key to humanity's future. Linda is especially moved by the final minutes, saying she felt empathy not only for extraterrestrials but also for humanity, because people have not been told the truth as a species. The panel agrees that disclosure should not merely be informational; it should be transformational, helping humans understand themselves as part of a larger cosmic family. Religion, Creation, and the Many Mansions of the Universe The film's spiritual themes are also central to the panel's review. Alan, Linda, and the Hurtaks discuss the Catholic sister character in the film, who recognizes that the universe is too vast to exist only for humanity. They connect this idea to the Book of Genesis, Christ consciousness, the New Testament phrase about “many mansions,” ancient Coptic and Greek texts, and the idea that creation includes many levels of life and intelligence. Rather than seeing extraterrestrial intelligence as opposed to spirituality, the panel presents it as part of a larger divine creation story in which humanity must expand its understanding of soul, consciousness, and cosmic purpose. What Spielberg Shows — and What He Leaves for Later The group praises Spielberg's restraint but also discusses what the film does not fully show. Linda says she wished Spielberg had introduced more kinds of non-human intelligences, including tall whites, Nordics, reptilians, plasma beings, and other forms she has encountered through witness testimony. Alan suggests Spielberg may be taking the public slowly by first introducing one or two categories of extraterrestrial presence before expanding into a wider range of beings. The panel agrees that the film is likely only the beginning of a broader cultural process and that future films, government releases, or public disclosures may reveal a more complicated landscape. Disclosure, Timing, and a Planet Under Pressure The panel repeatedly asks why this film and this moment are happening now. Linda suggests the timing may relate to future geophysical changes, solar activity, rising oceans, environmental instability, and the possibility that extraterrestrial assistance may become necessary for humanity's survival. Alan connects the timing to recent government disclosures and the public release of UFO/UAP information, while Dr. J.J. Hurtak frames the moment as a sociological, psychological, economic, planetary, and spiritual convergence. The group agrees that humanity is being prepared for contact because the old reality is no longer sufficient. The Soul, Empathy, and the Next Stage of Humanity A major theme in the latter part of the program is the soul. Linda shares memories from childhood of feeling a protective pressure in her chest while looking at an image of Christ with lambs, a feeling she still associates with soul, protection, and love. Dr. J.J. Hurtak describes the soul as the inner architecture of life, a field of consciousness that continues beyond the body. Dr. Desiree Hurtak adds that different beings may have different levels of soul evolution, and that humanity is learning to access abilities such as remote viewing, telepathy, and higher-dimensional awareness. Alan says these gifts of the spirit may allow humans to meet non-human intelligences on a more equal footing. “Listen”: The Word at the Doorway The panel gives special attention to the film's final message: listen. They interpret the word as a call to listen to extraterrestrials, higher intelligence, divine purpose, inner senses, compassion, and one another. For Dr. J.J. Hurtak, this connects to sacred language and the ancient call to hear the divine frequency. Alan sees Spielberg's film as a “signifying agent,” a cultural bridge that helps people move from an old reality into new realities. The episode closes with a shared prayer from Linda, “May the thought that dwells in the light protect us forever,” followed by Alan's disclosure-themed song, “Did You See It?”, which he presents as an anthem for this new moment.

New Realities with Alan Steinfeld Disclosure Day, Higher Frequencies, and the Threshold of a New Human Reality Guests, Dr. J.J. Hurtak and Dr. Desiree Hurtak, Linda Moulton Howe Spielberg's Disclosure Day Opens a Bigger Conversation In this episode of New Realities, host Alan Steinfeld gathers a panel to review Steven Spielberg's newly released film Disclosure Day. Alan is joined by longtime UFO investigator Linda Moulton Howe, along with Dr. J.J. Hurtak and Dr. Desiree Hurtak, who bring perspectives from UFO research, consciousness studies, spirituality, ancient texts, and the wider disclosure movement. Alan frames the film as perhaps one of the most anticipated cinematic events in modern UFO culture, because it deals not simply with science fiction, but with the possibility that humanity is being prepared for a deeper truth about non-human intelligence. Frequencies, Clicking Sounds, and Consciousness Communication Linda Moulton Howe begins by emphasizing the importance of frequency in the film. She connects Spielberg's use of clicking sounds and nonverbal communication to government documents, abduction cases, and reports she has heard from experiencers over decades of research. Dr. J.J. Hurtak also highlights the film's treatment of language, sound, and consciousness, contrasting it with Close Encounters of the Third Kind, where communication was centered more on tones and music. In Disclosure Day, the panel says Spielberg brings in the human element more fully, suggesting that extraterrestrial contact may involve mind-to-mind communication, frequency, empathy, and higher consciousness rather than ordinary speech alone. From Science Fiction to a Disclosure Bridge Alan and the panel repeatedly stress that they do not see Disclosure Day as merely another science fiction movie. They argue that Spielberg has gathered decades of UFO, UAP, consciousness, government secrecy, telepathy, cover-up, and experiencer material into a film that functions as a bridge between old disbelief and a new cultural acceptance. Alan says Spielberg seems to have been a serious student of the phenomenon, including many familiar themes from UFO research: government secrecy, private industry involvement, recovered craft, mind control, empathy, and the question of whether the public has a right to know. Government, Corporations, and the Machinery of Secrecy A major part of the discussion focuses on the film's depiction of government secrecy and private industry. Alan references the fictional corporation Wardex, which is tied to retrieval and extraction programs, and connects that to real-world claims associated with figures such as Lieutenant Colonel Philip J. Corso. Linda and the Hurtaks discuss how governments may have transferred recovered technologies or sensitive programs into corporate hands to create plausible deniability. Linda traces this secrecy back to World War II and Eisenhower-era briefings, while Alan says the film dramatizes the tension between those who hide the truth and those who believe humanity has a right to know. Fear, Love, and the Human Right to the Truth The panel describes the film as a contest between fear-based secrecy and the higher message of empathy, love, and transcendence. Alan says humanity is caught between fear and higher consciousness, and that the film presents empathy as a key to humanity's future. Linda is especially moved by the final minutes, saying she felt empathy not only for extraterrestrials but also for humanity, because people have not been told the truth as a species.

In Episode 155, we break down Steven Spielberg's groundbreaking new film, *Disclosure Day*, and ask the hard question no one else is asking: is it a bridge to unity or a masterful misdirection? Join us as we explore the film's chilling parallels to recent congressional hearings and real-world UAP whistleblower reports. We analyze why critics are calling it the true spiritual successor to *Close Encounters of the Third Kind*, examine Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor's performances, and debate Spielberg's framing of "science speculation" over fiction. But the conversation doesn't stop at the box office. We tackle the deeper implications for faith and belief systems when contact becomes fact. How does disclosure reshape human empathy, spirituality, and our place in the cosmos? Plus, we confront the provocative critique from researchers like David Icke, who warn the film may be a propaganda tool designed to paint non-human intelligence as benevolently false.

Hard News on Friday with Tara Green and Rama Arjuna and guests Star Family, Dimensional Shift, and the Golden Amber Path Into Higher Light Rainbird Opens the Council Fire In this episode of Hard News on Friday, Rainbird opens by welcoming listeners to the program and inviting everyone into a grounded spiritual space. He guides the audience through gentle breathing, a movement into the heart, and a gathering around a virtual council fire with guides, guardians, ancestors, spirit teams, and the drumbeat. He then calls in the seven galactic directions in the Mayan tradition, invoking wisdom from the east, north, west, south, above, below, and the center source of the galaxies. The opening frames the entire episode as a ceremony of mutual love, planetary harmony, and spiritual alignment. The Mayan Record of Days and the New Moon Portal Rainbird then reads the Mayan record of days, beginning with Three Chicchan, the Red Electric Serpent. He explains that the serpent energy is a warrior aspect connected to survival, instinct, life force, change, body sensing, and transmuting energy. He walks listeners through the week ahead, including White Self-Existing World-Bridger, Blue Overtone Hand, Yellow Rhythmic Star, Red Resonant Moon, White Galactic Dog, Blue Solar Monkey, and Yellow Planetary Human. He highlights the coming new moon, portal days, Juneteenth, and the importance of releasing insecurity, fear, control, self-doubt, procrastination, mistrust, anger, and ego blockages while embracing healing, forgiveness, unconditional love, play, star-gate awareness, and human freedom. Housekeeping, Gratitude, and the Talking Stick Rainbird shifts into housekeeping, explaining that Hard News on Friday is listener-supported and sharing how people can donate through BBS Radio to support the Friday program and the Saturday show, The True History of NESARA and Our Galactic Origins. He also gives donation information for assisting Tara and Rama with weekly living expenses and bills, including PayPal, email, mailing address, and the Rainbow Roundtable website. After expressing gratitude, he describes the talking stick as filled with fairies, feathers, magical beings, dolphins, whales, unicorns, dragons, boxing outfits, and playful satirical energy before passing it to Rama. Rama Points to Disclosure Day and the Energies Around D.C. Rama begins by sending love to all the situations happening in the world and says love, not violence or war, is the answer. He recommends that listeners see the film Disclosure Day, saying he has heard highly credible and positive stories about it. He also references the East Coast and Washington, D.C. as a convergence point around 19.5 degrees, describing it as a portal or vortex where certain activities are not aligned with the Office of the Christ. Rather than dwell in fear or conflict, Rama moves the discussion toward light, cosmic alignment, and the need to send more love. Kryon on Humanity's Dimensional Shift and Galactic Future Rama plays a Kryon message titled around humanity's dimensional shift and galactic future. Kryon explains that Earth is entering a new energy in which people can command inappropriate energies to leave and more consciously direct their bodies, fields, and personal reality. The message distinguishes between ordinary extraterrestrials and ascended star family, emphasizing that not all beings from the stars carry the same vibration. Kryon says intelligent life exists widely throughout the galaxy, but that humanity's star-seeded biology connects specifically with ascended, angelic star family rather than every extraterrestrial race. The Grays, Emotion, and the God Within Humanity The Kryon message focuses especially on the Grays, describing them as intelligent extraterrestrials drawn to humanity because humans carry compassion, emotion, love, and what Kryon calls the God within. According to this message, the Grays do not possess that same divine emotional lineage and have studied humanity in an attempt to understand or acquire it. Kryon says some hybrids may exist, but that the God-within quality cannot simply be passed biologically to another race. The message suggests that contact with non-ascended extraterrestrials may come before humanity openly meets its ascended star family. A Star Field Filled With Ascended Worlds Kryon then guides listeners into a visualization beyond Earth, outside the atmosphere and solar glare, where the stars can be seen with unusual clarity. In that space, he invites every ascended planet in the galaxy to make itself known, and the star field lights up with hundreds of worlds aware of Earth's dimensional shift. The message says humanity has crossed a membrane into the beginning stage of ascension, and that emissaries of spiritual enhancement, help, and protection are on their way. Kryon emphasizes that Earth cannot go backward into devolution, even if appearances suggest otherwise. Star Nations, Gemini New Moon, and the Temple of Living Radiance After the Kryon segment, Rama says the star families are already here, the Grays are here, and the central issue is love and compassion. Tara then invokes Saint Germain, the Violet Flame, and the energies of the ascended star nations. She speaks of the new moon in Gemini, the Venus-Jupiter conjunction, the quantum field, the temple of living radiance, and the importance of imagination, thought, and consciousness in manifesting reality. Tara encourages listeners to sit in orbit around Earth in consciousness, experience the stars, and realize that everything needed is contained within the living temple of the body and the oneness of creation. Amber, Excalibur, and the Ancient Tree Wisdom Tara introduces a transmission from Steve Nobel focused on golden amber, explaining that amber is fossilized tree resin carrying ancient wisdom. She connects that to deep time, ancient trees, Devil's Tower, Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and beings who have been here since the beginning of the story. The tone becomes one of ancient planetary memory, sacred minerals, energetic healing, and the idea that there are beings yet to be met who have remained present since the earliest movements of Earth's spiritual history. The Angels of Golden Amber Transmission The Steve Nobel meditation guides listeners into the breath, the body, and the present moment, inviting light into the physical body and energy fields while releasing lower energies back to the universe. The meditation calls in the higher self, angels of golden amber, and the archangels Raphael, Michael, Gabriel, Ariel, Metatron, and Sandalphon. The golden amber energy focuses on the solar plexus and throat chakras, clearing blame, criticism, judgment, scarcity, and lack from this lifetime, ancestral lines, and other lifetimes. It strengthens boundaries, courage, confidence, abundance, authentic voice, and creative self-expression. Beaming Up Into the Light As the meditation closes, Tara invites listeners to remain with the higher frequencies that came through and says it is “time to beam up.” The program ends with blessings, thanks, and the passing of the talking stick back to Rainbird. Rainbird expresses gratitude to Rama, Tara, BBS, and everyone listening, looking forward to the next day's gathering. The closing holds the same tone as the opening: ceremonial, grateful, cosmic, and focused on rising into the light.

In this SITS classic from 2017, we speak with Mark O'Connell. With UFOs once again dominating headlines through government hearings, whistleblower claims, and renewed public interest, we're revisiting this conversation with O'Connell about his book,The Close Encounters Man: How One Man Made the World Believe in UFOs, chronicling the life of legendary astronomer Dr. J. Allen Hynek. Originally hired by the Air Force to debunk UFO sightings, Hynek's years investigating unexplained cases led him to a startling conclusion: UFOs deserved serious scientific attention. Through unprecedented access to Hynek's personal and professional files, including his time working with Steven Spielberg, O'Connell paints a compelling portrait of the man who transformed from skeptic to pioneer in UFO research. At a time when many of the same questions Hynek raised decades ago are resurfacing today, this episode remains more relevant than ever.

As conversations surrounding UAPs, UFO sightings, government transparency, and Disclosure Day continue to fuel public fascination with extraterrestrial life, Spielberg's vision of first contact feels just as awe-inspiring and relevant today as it did nearly fifty years ago. Richard Dreyfuss (Jaws, The Goodbye Girl) stars as Roy Neary, an ordinary man whose life is forever changed after a mysterious encounter with an unidentified flying object. Alongside Melinda Dillon (A Christmas Story, Magnolia) as Jillian Guiler, François Truffaut (The 400 Blows, Day for Night) as scientist Claude Lacombe, and Teri Garr (Tootsie, Young Frankenstein) as Ronnie Neary, the film follows a growing obsession that draws Roy toward the mysterious Devils Tower and humanity's first true encounter with an extraterrestrial civilization. The film is packed with unforgettable moments, including the discovery of the missing World War II fighter planes, Barry's terrifying abduction sequence, the iconic highway UFO encounter, Roy's legendary mashed-potato mountain sculpture, the government's cover-up operation, and the breathtaking mothership finale accompanied by John Williams' famous five-note communication sequence.

Does Steven Spielberg know the secret disclosure? Visit https://rise.tv for more exclusive content! Visit https://metaphysicalcoffee.com for coffee that's out of this world! Spielberg has brought many aliens to the big screen over the years. However, there are some eerie parallels between his very first alien movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and his new film Disclosure Day, which is coming out in June of 2026. In a 1977 interview, Spielberg said that President Carter was going to release information on UFOs the same month his movie was scheduled to premiere. Remarkably, the same thing happened with his new film when the Pentagon released its classified UFO/UAP files. In a recent interview, Spielberg even stated that the world “has to accept that we haven't been alone since the beginning of time.” What does he know? And what is about to be revealed to the world? Join Ben and Rob on this episode of Edge of Wonder as they dive deep into the mystery—including how after more than a year, the body of missing NASA scientist Melissa Casias was finally found. At the end of the show, don't miss the meditation and prayer segment only on Rise.TV. See you out on the edge!

Congressional hearings, whistleblower allegations, and the release of new government records in recent weeks have continued to fuel public questions of whether long-hidden information about UFOs may finally be coming to light. And part of that fascination also extends to Hollywood, with the forthcoming release of Steven Spielberg's film Disclosure Day, which early reviews have called one of the Close Encounters of the Third Kind director's best films in decades. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at the possibility of a real-life "Disclosure Day," and how a scientific committee long involved in the serious search for evidence of intelligent life on other worlds is working on establishing new protocols for how final proof of alien life should be revealed to the public if we find them.

Are we really being prepared for an alien disclosure or is it something far darker? For decades, Hollywood has conditioned the world to look to the skies for salvation, fear and answers. With that being said no filmmaker has shaped that narrative more than Steven Spielberg, the man behind "Close Encounters of a Third Kind", "E.T.", and countless films that turned extraterrestrials into a modern mythology. Now, as government officials openly discuss UFOs and phenomena they claim "defy explanation" the conversation has shifted from science fiction to mainstream headlines. Even political figures like JD Vance and others have suggested that what's being encountered may not be extraterrestrial at all, but spiritual, demonic and deceptive. So what are we really witnessing? A cosmic awakening, a psychological operation, or the final revival of an ancient lie that the Bible has warned about for thousands of years?

In anticipation of Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg’s two most beloved alien films face off in the inaugural Filmspotting Movie Death Match. Representing Close Encounters of the Third Kind is Dr. Margaret A. Weitekamp, Chair of Space History at the National Air and Space Museum. Making the case for E.T. the Extra‑Terrestrial is longtime critic and author Jen Chaney. Host Chris Klimek presides. Which film better captures Spielberg’s vision of alien contact — and his ideas about the nuclear family? Vote at ⁠moviedeathmatch.com⁠. Movie Death Match is a new Filmspotting podcast that determines which one of a pair of linked movies — each championed by a passionate and highly credentialed advocate — shall be preserved in perpetuity, and which one shall be lost to history.

Bizarre News | Paranormal Podcast This month's Bizarre News has us covering four stories that somehow all ended up connecting — starting with renowned physicist Michio Kaku going on Diary of a CEO and laying out his case that alien life almost certainly exists, UAPs are real but we're still at Close Encounters of the First Kind, and if they wanted us gone we'd already be gone, which is either very reassuring or something we're choosing not to think too hard about. Then we got into a longtime CIA-connected UFO researcher claiming the US government has bodies from four different alien species including Grays, Nordics, Reptilians, and Insectoids, followed by creepy security footage from an oil field in Argentina where workers have been reporting screaming in the night and a traffic cone that very confidently moved itself while nobody was around — local folklore pointing to a duende, a mischievous goblin. We wrapped up with a woman named Kathy McDaniel who had a near-death experience and instead of the peaceful light and deceased relatives everybody talks about, found herself surrounded by fog, shrieking, and a booming voice asking her if she knew where she was.

Are Aliens Demons, Our Cosmic Neighbors, or Something Stranger?   Host Curtis Chang and author Andy Crouch explore the theological implications of UFOs, extraterrestrial life, and the possibility that humans are not the only created beings in the cosmos. They ask whether aliens should be understood as material creatures, angels and demons, image bearers, or cosmic neighbors—and what Scripture, Christian theology, and even Aquinas suggest about our human uniqueness. Along the way, they consider whether first contact would reveal Christian love, humility, and wonder—or our instinct toward fear and domination.   00:47 - Introduction to Alien Life and Declassified UFO Reports 02:19 - Do Aliens Exist? 08:32 - The Value of Pondering Alien Life 13:02 - Aliens vs. Angels and Demons 23:18 - God's Mysterious Creatures in Scripture 27:42 - The Octopus Dilemma and Human Specialness  38:26 - Missional Work and Alien Life? 44:26 - The Nature of God's Love 48:49 - Domination or Love : The Human Response to Aliens 50:58 - Andy Imagines Worshipping with Cosmic Neighbors   Turn on Apple Podcasts Automatic Downloads: Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.
