Would undeniable evidence of alien life cause large numbers of people to abandon what they believe about God? Disclosure Day comes out in theaters this weekend, and that appears to be one of the biggest questions that this film is driving at. Much of the global population has always operated under the assumption that the only intelligent life that exists in the universe is on this planet. So how would the world respond to very clear evidence that proves once and for all that we are not alone?
Steven Spielberg is the creative force behind Disclosure Day, and he is making it abundantly clear what he believes.
During a shocking interview with CBS News, he openly stated that he believes that aliens “have been here, and they are here”…
Half a century after Steven Spielberg challenged audiences to think about what lies beyond the starry canopy that defines our universe in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the director is again challenging accepted precepts of faith and singular belief in a supreme being.
His new film Disclosure Day sees him revisit the possibility of aliens: “I absolutely think that they have been here, and they are here,” he outlined in an interview with CBS News.
Wow.
Spielberg is actually convinced that aliens are here on Earth right now.
And during a different interview with USA Today, he expressed his view that there is “overwhelming” evidence that aliens exist…
When I made “Close Encounters,” I needed a lot of imagination. I believed there was other life out there, although I wasn’t quite sure if it had come here. I was really curious about UFOs and UAPs. I said, “I’m not going to call ‘Close Encounters’ science fiction – I’m going to call it science speculation.” But since the beginning of the 21st century, there’s been more and more access to the actual visual truth. We’re able to confirm our belief by showing what we shot on our devices to other people. It’s just become overwhelming to me that we’re not alone in the universe.
Disclosure Day makes it clear that Spielberg does not consider the fact that we are not alone to be a bad thing.
In fact, it appears that he is trying to get those that watch the movie to be open to whatever the “aliens” may want to teach us.
In my opinion, that is what makes this film so dangerous.
The idea is that once the “aliens” show up we should discard what we have always believed and just accept whatever new reality they have to offer.
Of course Spielberg also acknowledges that this would be very difficult for many of us.
Spielberg is convinced that if the government fully revealed everything about alien life that they have been keeping from us, it would “mess up a lot of people”…
“There’s a faction in the film that represents a pretty good position of why — possibly because of ontological shock, social dislocation — if this truth… were just known overnight, if the government announced, ‘Yes, we have been keeping this from you since 1947,’ that would mess up a lot of people.”
So exactly who are the “people” that Spielberg is referring to?
At one point in his interview with CBS News, Spielberg suggested that undeniable evidence of alien life would greatly shake the theological beliefs of those that believe in God…
During a CBS News interview, Spielberg reflected on how confirmation of intelligent life beyond Earth could affect religious faith, saying, ‘The movie also takes the position of the church.
‘What does this do to the fundamental beliefs that many of us have? Is God our God only on this planet? Or is God a god for every system where there’s civilization and intelligent life, and even developing life?’
The Oscar-winning filmmaker argued that proof of alien life would force many believers to confront difficult questions about God’s role in a universe that may be filled with other intelligent civilizations.
Obviously this is something that has been on his mind for a long time.
If you have not seen Spielberg’s full interview with CBS News yet, I would highly recommend checking it out, because it is very revealing…
Because it has so much hype, I think that Disclosure Day will be one of the biggest movies of the year.
Over time, billions of people could end up watching this film.
Just think about that for a moment.
All over the world, people will have their opinions about extraterrestrial life shaped by Spielberg, and that is extremely alarming.
One character in Disclosure Day actually suggests that when the “aliens” finally show up, people will “stop believing in God” and will instead accept the “aliens” as “deities”…
Would the discovery of alien life really be faith-shattering? One character in Disclosure Day (a former novitiate nun played by Bono’s daughter Eve Hewson) argues, “People will see [aliens] as deities. They’ll stop believing in God.”
For decades, movies, television shows, books and video games have been priming us to believe that someday the “aliens” will finally make their grand appearance.
And when that happens, much of the global population will accept whatever they have to say hook, line and sinker.
But true Christians will not have their faith shaken by Disclosure Day, nor will they have their faith shaken even if “aliens” suddenly show up in large numbers in the skies above this planet.
From the very beginning to the very end, the Bible openly acknowledges that we are not alone in the universe.
In fact, the Bible has a great deal to say about angels, fallen angels, demons and a whole host of other non-human entities.
And the final book of the Bible is far wilder than any science fiction movie that Hollywood has ever put out.
Yes, very strange creatures will someday invade our planet. You can read all about it in Revelation chapter 9.
I have been writing about all of this stuff for well over a decade, because I want the world to understand what is going to happen in advance.
Once you understand what is going to happen, your faith will never be shaken by a Steven Spielberg film.
On social media, some Christians are making this point quite eloquently…
One user posted on X in response to the director’s statements, saying: ‘I can promise you it won’t. Not even for a second.’ While another shared: ‘The Alien Psyop will definitely make people question their faith lol.’
An X user posted: ‘We’ve had 70 years of sci-fi movies with aliens. I think Christians will survive this movie with their faith intact.’
Steven Spielberg seems to think that the fact that we are not alone is some sort of grand discovery.
But the reality of the matter is that the Bible has been telling us this for thousands of years.
We were never alone.
So don’t buy into the Hollywood propaganda.
We are being set up for a deception of epic proportions, but those that hold on to the truth will be able to see right through it.

Tyler Durden Sun, 06/14/2026 - 16:20America’s semiquincentennial birthday celebration kicks into gear today with the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s (UFC) Freedom 250 fights, with seven matches scheduled for the South Lawn of the White House.
“This will be the greatest show on earth,” President Donald Trump said while previewing the stage in May.
“I think it’s going to be the biggest event we’ve ever had at the White House.”
As Travis Gillmore reports for The Epoch Times, the spectacle falls on Flag Day as well as Trump’s 80th birthday.
Organizers constructed a 60-foot-tall structure known as the “claw,” with matches occurring in the sport’s familiar, octagon-shaped arena on the front yard of the Executive Mansion.
The main event, a lightweight title unification bout, features undefeated UFC lightweight title holder Ilia “El Matador” Topuria, 29, facing off against 37-year-old interim lightweight champion Justin “The Highlight” Gaethje, both weighing in at 155 pounds. Topuria, known for elite techniques and knockout strength, is heavily favored, though the U.S.-born Gaethje is a mainstay in the sport, with high-level fighting intelligence and durability.
Second on the card, listed as a co-main event, is an interim heavyweight bout between 251-pound Alex Pereira, 38, and 248-pound Ciryl Gane, 36.
Known as “Poatan,” Pereira is looking to become the sport’s first three-division champion, having previously captured the middleweight and light heavyweight titles.

France’s Gane, nicknamed “Bon Gamin,” a former interim champion, is quick on his feet and known for his range. The match is evenly stacked, according to oddsmakers.
Winners of the title bouts will receive red, white, and blue patriotic-themed belts, adorned with “1776–2026,” 250 stars, approximately 60 carats of diamonds, and an engraving of the scene at the White House.
Fan favorite “Suga” Sean O’Malley is expected to bring his trademark personality to the ring when he takes on Aiemann Zahabi for the bantamweight match, with both fighters coming within a half-pound of each other at weigh-in. O’Malley’s quick striking gives him the edge, while Zahabi comes into the match with a seven-fight win streak.
An undefeated new prospect weighing 231 pounds, Josh Hokit, with nine straight victories, will challenge 265-pound Derrick “The Black Beast” Lewis in the night’s heavyweight fight. Hokit brings youthful energy to the ring, while Lewis is known as an elite, lights-out puncher.
Brazilian lightweight Mauricio Ruffy takes on veteran Michael Chandler in a bout where Ruffy is favored, but Chandler’s wrestling skills and bursts of energy will be on display.
Bo Nickal is expected to prevail over Kyle Daukaus in a middleweight battle between the two 186-pounders, while a featherweight match between Diego Lopes and Steve Garcia is set to open the night.
UFC organizers hosted a ceremonial weigh-in Saturday in Washington in preparation for the mixed martial arts fights.
Dana White, UFC president and CEO, oversaw the programming, while podcaster and long-time UFC commentator Joe Rogan emceed the event.
White hoisted one of the red, white, and blue patriotic themed belts created for the two title fights, adorned with “1776–2026,” 250 stars, approximately 60 carats of diamonds, and an engraving of the scene at the White House.
Thousands of fans crowded the Ellipse near the Executive Mansion to witness the festivities.
Military skydivers performed aerial stunts to kick iff the evening, flying a huge American flag down to the crowd before a bald eagle soared over the audience.
The 14 fighters were officially weighed in earlier in the morning, and all the competitors made their respective weight to qualify for the seven-match card.
UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria and interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje both came in at 155 pounds ahead of their fight in the main event on Sunday, a lightweight title unification match.
The co-main event, an interim heavyweight title bout, will feature 251-pound Alex Pereira against 248-pound Ciryl Gane.
Sean O’Malley weighed in at 135.5 pounds, and Aiemann Zahabi came in at 135 pounds ahead of their bantamweight match.
Heavyweights Josh Hokit and Derrick Lewis will fight at 231 pounds and 265 pounds, respectively.
Mauricio Ruffy weighed 155 pounds, and Michael Chandler totaled 156 pounds, before the two go head-to-head in a lightweight match.
Middleweights Bo Nickal and Kyle Daukaus will fight at 186 pounds apiece, while featherweights Diego Lopes and Steve Garcia both weighed in at 146 pounds.
Tensions ran high as the athletes faced off in front of the crowd.
Similar antics were on display June 12 during the pre-fight press conference at the Lincoln Memorial.
Thousands of military members and special guests will sit ringside, while the Ellipse near the White House is set up to hold an overflow crowd of approximately 100,000.
Gates open at 3:30 p.m. ET Sunday for the main event and Fan Fest watch party, which includes a replica octagon, interactive entertainment, live music, merchandise booths, live shows and appearances, meet-and-greets with UFC athletes, fireworks, and more.
The Zac Brown Band headlined Saturday night, with more musical acts featured along with motocross stunts by Travis Pastrana.
Officials with the UFC promoted the fights as the “most historic sporting event of all time,” with festivities coinciding with the nation’s founders signing the Declaration of Independence.
“UFC Freedom 250 commemorates the 250th birthday of the United States with a once-in-a-generation celebration of the American fighting spirit,” the organization said in a statement.
“From the revolution to the octagon, this historic event will connect fans through cinematic storytelling and unrivaled competition on the world’s greatest proving ground.”
People around the world can watch the fights live on Paramount+ beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
