Steven Spielberg was asked whether he believes in the real-life existence of aliens in the run up to his new UFO movie Disclosure Day.
“I don’t know any more than any of you do, but I have a very strong suspicion that we are not alone here on Earth right now — and I made a movie about that,” said the legendary 79-year-old filmmaker during a keynote interview at the South by Southwest Film & TV Festival in Austin, Texas on Friday.
Elaborating on his view, the filmmaker noted that when he heard former President Barack Obama’s recent viral comment that aliens are “real,” his first thought was, “Oh, my God, this is so great for Disclosure Day!”
