DISCLOSURE DAY, June 12: Your Alien 101 Primer?

Read Time:5 Minute, 28 Second

Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor have been cast with the task to shoulder Steven Spielberg’s return to his alien obsession in DISCLOSURE DAY, from Universal Pictures, set for Summer Blockbuster season on June 12, 2026. Most people probably have a few Star Trek and Star Wars ideas about the topic, not to mention the Spielberg classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind and ET that have lit up the popular imagination for decades. But this is ‘The Big One.’

This cast looks great. Josh O’Connor from Knives Out’s most recent quirky Catholic Priest role; Edge of Tomorrow’s Emily Blunt who does Sci-Fi really well, also Colin Firth, who can make anything outlandish believable. Finally, playwright/actor Colman Domingo is onboard this movie with the ominous tagline: “There Will Be No Day Like Tomorrow.” So let’s pre-game our ‘alien tomorrow’ and tease out the origins of everything extraterrestrial.

Consider this your Alien Primer 101 in advance of this Summer’s huge reveal…

Art Bell, George Knapp, and George Noory, have shaped a lot of American minds or made a dent in popular imagination, depending on where you stand, on “out-there” issues. Who are they? Art Bell, founder of alternative AM talk show “Coast to Coast AM” is considered the “Father of Paranormal Talk Radio.” George Noory followed Bell as host of the late-night odyssey into the fringes of pop culture phenoms, like extra-terrestrials or EBEs (extraterrestrial biological entity), UFOs rebranded as UAPs (unidentified anomalous phenomenon), Skinwalkers (Navajo-derived shape-shifting witches), inter-dimensional time travel, among other things. Other things like what? The musings of the late John Lear, of LEAR Jet aviation fame, who introduced Art Bell to the Grandfather of Disclosure, Bob Lazar, who lifted the lid on S-4 and also Area 51.

What are aliens anyway, how do they have to arrive by UFOs, can they time-travel?

Gotta love a great UFO sighting story, right? Many stories usually begin as follows: “I saw three lights in formation, then they disappeared! Do you think it was a UFO?” Naturally people who’ve seen them, or more to the point, been allegedly “abducted” by them, always seek confirmation. Which would be reasonable, except how do you get validation from others who did not witness the incident?

UFO Origin Story – just the facts, Ma’am…

Full disclosure: as a journalist, I once interviewed Travis Walton for Paramount’s “Fire in the Sky” movie written by Mel Tormé’s son, Tracy Tormé. Fire is based on the 1975 taking of Walton inside an alien spacelab, to use shorthand, whereby he alludes to probably one of the first solid uses of the term “missing time.” Plus he claims to have been covered with goo, space goo, used for all kinds of experiments, then plopped back into a life wherein this moment would haunt him and his family until the end of time. Yes, I do believe the recounting Travis gave during our interview is genuine, as his own story.

Famed Director Robert Wise, who directed the first STAR TREK movie once told me during an interview for The DGA (Directors Guild of America) magazine that “you’d have to be a fool not to believe in Aliens,” based on the statistical probability in an infinite Universe. He also mentioned that Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry was obsessed with the topic of life on other planets. Steven Spielberg, as you can imagine, likely shared this private passion with Hollywood these Hollywood insiders. Plus having produced supernatural alien-ish projects like SUPER 8 not too long ago.

Major UFO Incidents in History

Spacetime, Bent Time & Schrödinger’s Cat

There may be “no day like tomorrow” for DISCLOSURE DAY’s advance team, but if you know Nikola Tesla, the Serbian wizard of alternating current and other electro-magnetic mysteries, you probably have an inkling who laid the foundation for inter-dimensional time travel by revealing wave pulses and curious characteristics of wave-shifts in Physics equations… or is that Albert Einstein’s territory?

Einstein, of General Relativity fame by age 22, clearly demonstrates some bizarre properties of the Universe. Together with Werner Heisenberg’s 1927 introduction of “The Uncertainty Principle” things get interesting.

Even more so in 1935, when a certain Austrian Physicist named Erwin Schrödinger tries to argue against some Copenhagen-based quantum mechanical theory, with his alive-and-dead at the same time now infamous “Schrödinger’s Cat.”

You don’t need 13th or 14th Century thinker William of Ockham’s “Occam’s Razor” to figure out that these wild Physics geniuses also set the groundwork for time travel as a possibility in the popular imagination, even into the Art Bell show back then or in 2026 with DISCLOSURE DAY. After all, how could aliens get around without bending time?

Everything Fits Finally… We Humans Can Handle It…

Maybe disclosure is really coming and this movie is Spielberg’s way of preparing us. Or maybe the vast wonder of Beyond the Universe itself has extra gears in biologics? What if Congress and President are timing this movie with a real press conference on the alleged ‘four different types of EBEs’?

Look, if we can handle 360 different breeds of dog, why can’t we handle some different breeds of bipeds?

Perhaps the many-hatted owner of the platform X, SpaceX, Neuralink, Tesla motor cars and cyber-trucks is right? Elon Musk has a famous quote, based on living in a Simulation: “The most entertaining outcome is the mostly likely.” He bases this on the fact that anything “boring” does not advance humans to the next level… hope you enjoyed this story, ps, otherwise? If boring, it might not make it up the brain chain of awareness in the alleged Simulation.

Oh wait, who believes in all this hoo-ha anyway? Glad you asked. Roughly 30 percent Believe, versus 70 percent do not, would you believe… according to actual polls taken in the US by serious statisticians.

Where do you fall in line, Earthling, Believer or not?

Never mind, you don’t have to answer that, but do keep an eye on the sky for DISCLOSURE DAY, the movie or the real thing, slated for June 12, from Universal Pictures, starring Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, and Colman Domingo.
