Steven Spielbergs new UFO film, billboards…
They come in peace.
Steven Spielberg’s new UFO film has reignited hypothesis within the alien conspiracy idea neighborhood, particularly after cryptic billboards teasing the upcoming movie popped up across the nation this week.
“All will be disclosed,” read billboards for the forthcoming flick in New York City and Los Angeles, alongside the “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” director’s title and the project’s June 12, 2026, release date.

The posters also included a creepy image of what appeared to be a human eye peeking through a mysterious and reflective silhouette.
Spielberg followers rapidly rushed to social media after seeing the new billboards to theorize about what the still-untitled film could be about, while others recommended the “Jaws” director is utilizing the movie to disclose the existence of real aliens to the world.
“A conspiracy theory that’s so crazy it just might be brilliant!” Chris Ramsay, who has a YouTube channel devoted to UFO theories, wrote on X. “The theory goes like this: Spielberg has been chosen to deliver the next phase of disclosure.”
“Not a leak in the traditional sense, but a carefully constructed big reveal,” he continued. “What if Spielberg has been granted unprecedented access to real UAP footage or better yet, an actual UFO?”
The tinfoil hat wearer added that there’s “no better way to get disclosure” than by the “very means which have conditioned us to believe in them in the first place. The silver screen.”

However, Ramsay also speculated that Spielberg’s next project could be “another way to control the narrative” around extraterrestrial life.
“Good luck searching ‘UFO Disclosure’ after this movie hits the theatres…” he wrote.
The fact that Spielberg’s new project was filmed in New Jersey has excited UFO hunters as properly.
Last 12 months, tons of of residents reported seeing mysterious lights flying around the state.

While a number of people thought they could be witnessing UFOs, the Trump Administration later confirmed that the mysterious plane have been FAA-authorized drones.
But this wouldn’t be the first time one of Spielberg’s films has ignited alien conspiracy theories.
Back in 2011, while discussing a particular screening Ronald Reagan hosted for “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” at the White House in 1982, the “War of the Worlds” filmmaker recalled what the then-president said as the credit rolled.
“There are a number of people in this room who know that everything on that screen is absolutely true,” Reagan reportedly shared.

Spielberg recommended that Reagan wasn’t kidding.
“The whole room laughed because he presented it like a joke,” the director said, per The Telegraph. “But he wasn’t smiling as he said it.”
Spielberg himself, meanwhile, believes in alien life and has shared his ideas about the subject a number of occasions in the past.
“I don’t believe we’re alone in the universe,” the “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” director said most not too long ago in 2023. “I think it’s mathematically impossible that we are the only intelligent species in the cosmos.”
“I think that’s totally impossible,” he added.
