Disclosure Day | Official Teaser | A film by Steven Spielberg

New and final trailer



You might want to skip this trailer, it contains a pretty major spoiler that the other spoiler-heavy trailers didn't reveal

I dunno if folks wanna hear another "we are aliens, we are here to help fix your stupid primitive monkey problems because you wont just all get along and cooperate" psyop. That vibe is long gone and hope and optimism have fled.

Trust No One.
 
I loved Close Encounters but somehow I got no interest in this one.

Will still watch when it streams though.
 
The cockpit shot is insane.

This is the most unusual trailer I've seen in years. The whole campaign was fun - you can't unsee the grey face in the billboards and you can't unhear the sine-wave speech
(she says stay calm). Now this trailer really is something else.
 
Yawn.

Sorry this just does not look captivating.

Just another part of the ridiculous "UFO disclosure" trend going around with Spielberg shilling.

Spielberg has been obsessed with this topic since the 1970s. The guy directed Close Encounters of the Third Kind in the 70s and E.T. in the 80s. He basically built the launchpad for the entire modern cultural interest in this topic

Out of curiosity, what exactly makes the disclosure angle ridiculous to you?

Yeah, this is how I feel about it too. I typically love Spielberg films, and I love sci fi, but for some reason the trailers for this one just aren't grabbing me at all. I'm not even sure why? 🤔
 
saw an early screening tonight.

It was alright. As far as S.S films go this is not quite up there with Close Encounters or ET imho. The lead characters are insufferable gen z appealing sloppages. was a hell of a lot better than the back rooms horror movie that we watched before it, thats for sure.
 
This trailer is scarier than actual aliens.

My answer is no. It might frighten me for a few minutes then I'd go meditate, regulate my nervous system, go talk to a friend, and stop being a bitch lmao.

This ain't alone in the woods with bears. That's a good time to shit your pants.

not to spoil anything, but thinking back to watching this the other night I realised a lot of similarities in the film and the Varginha ufo incident (a real case in Brazil) that Spielberg was clearly inspired by... quite interesting.

It's notable because of all the millions of UFO bullshit cases, this one had many multiples of whitnesses, evidence, unexplained deaths documented. As far as 'legit' stories go, this one was up there.

>Spoiler: I did not at all think this was going to be a direct sequel to E.T. That's very cool! Can't wait to see him again.

That Brazil case has been debunked a long time ago.

An official 1996 investigation by the Brazilian Army concluded that no UFO or aliens existed in Varginha. The military stated that a local man with mental disabilities, who was known to roam the area crouched down, was simply mistaken for a creature. There. A simple misidentification confirmed by the military.

They also added that the military maneuvers that day were entirely routine. The two combined created mass hysteria and mass unified hallucinations. It was probably also hot that day and people can see things if they're dehydrated.

I used to be a believer, but when you look into every case they're very easy to debunk. Very easy. Name any UFO case and I can promise I can debunk it.

Agreed. I'm the biggest skeptic on the subject as can be to be honest. It's been a long time since I read about that case, so prolly just missed it. It was a very long time ago now, I can remember it being on the news at the time and it sounding legit. It was a hysteria.

Yep.

Same with military personal and fighter pilots. All their seeing are clouds, birds, drones etc. They may think they see a tic tac shaped object moving at incredible speeds, but they're wrong. I've not seen any UFO footage, photo or heard any story that is convincing.

oddly, I'm more open minded about "ghosts" due to an experience I had that I cannot for the life of me explain. I'm not suggesting it was the sprit of the dead, but it's not something I can't explain easily.

I've worked in military intelligence and national security for 25 years brother, so my take is a lot different to say the least - but I remain a heavy skeptic purely because I know how the system works at least in the UK when it comes to this subject. Let me say though, I have both seen 'some' and heard 'some more' things from obviously classified sources and projects just by nature of being 'on site', and have got myself into big trouble more than once for lingering around places I shouldn't have for too long. Not talking about aliens specifically, but rather, technology that I have heard of existing more that 20 years ago now was mind boggling for the time, let alone today. This is the main thing that I think about all the time, because it doesn't make sense to me that we had that tech so long ago, and it popped up seemingly out of nowhere, 100's of years of advancement just kind of springing up in a tiny window of time. It was a running joke that our iPhones back when they came out in what 2009? were basically bronze age tools compared to what the UK government has behind closed doors.

In the real world, at least from my experience in this industry I would say 98% of it is usually military technology that the public and even most high ranking military people do not know about or have clearance to know about. Work friends have debunked a lot of things to me in the past when I asked about it.

Now that out of the way, and to be clear I'm not some LARPER here etc.... think I posted before in this board somewhere a while ago, I spent a fair bit of my training time and work time at MOD Woodbridge here in the UK (Suffolk) during the early 2000's and worked around the site alongside people, who obviously talk especially on drinking nights.

One guy who was very well respected old timer, retired and suffering from what I can only describe as 'retirement fatigue' aka, bro just spent his entire life in the air force and didn't know how to retire to civilian life.... well this guy was actually working there during the 1980s when it was known as a different name. There is a very famous UK case you may know about. The stuff that guy told me on a night out was absolutely insane. He was obviously not supposed to divulge classified info to a scrub like me despite us being loose friends and having built trust over the years, but he got extremely upset with my superior at the time who would constantly press him on telling us about the little green men and shit like that to which we all know was bullshit and trolling. However, one night he told us that the UK government came down so hard on people who talked about that case in the 80's that his own grandson's life had been threatened should he have said anything about the files he was dealing with on the Rendlesham case. I don't know if it is true or not and have obviously no way of verifying it, but he sure as shit believe it so, and got very emotional and aggressive when pressed on the subject.

That is all he said, but you could tell he had the fear of god in him. I looked that mf dead in the eyes and said 'was that case legit, then?' and he looked me back square in the eye and said 'there are things I saw in that report that keep me up at night 40 years later. The public, and especially young folks like you, will and should never know the truth about it' and he said it with such reverence that it gave me the willies. Fun story for ya...

I forgot about the Rendlesham Forest case.

I take back what I said. That one I cannot debunk. People have tried, from claiming it was the nearby lighthouse to a prank made on the US troops by the SAS. No of those explanations hold when you listen to the tape recordings (they're on YT).



It's also been explained as "experimental aircraft" but I've always disliked that explanation for anything that is a UAP. This is a case from 1980. 46 years ago. If that tech existed in 1980 then it would be common place today.

Regarding the story you were old about the old timer, yeah, I can believe that. Let's pretend for a moment that this is all real and governments know aliens are visiting the planet. And when I mean governments, I don't mean the current party in power. No way would the UK PM be told about this. This would be info only known in the depths of Whitehall if it were real. Anyway, if this were the case, they would do everything in their power to stop this from becoming public.

The reason for this is because in 1980 revealing that aliens are real and are visiting the planet would cause global meltdown. I'd actually go so far to say that it would even cause mass panic today, because it would tank the stock markets. One thing that we do know is historically, markets hate uncertainty, and telling the world aliens are here would create real uncertainty.

I edited my post a bit just to be really clear on one thing - the world Alien was never used. I also never saw anything concrete like, just second hand hearsay.

He is long dead now, but he didnt strike me at all as the kind of guy that would over-exagerate how he felt about something like that. His understanding was basically that It was technology that, from my incredibly limited knowledge especially at the time of hearing about it, as understood to be 'ours'. He said he came to that conclusion from higher ranking friends on the case at the time that apparently knew more than him. The question on everyones minds then was 'how' because the details they did not release to the public was apparently mind boggling, And this was evidence collected AFTER the story, on the actual ground of the site. They found unexplainable things, it's well documented now from what I remember but back then it was a huge 'wtf' moment.

I aways found that strange, you know? think about it.... I was a dumb kid back then but even I knew the whispers about what was documented in that case at the time was so far advanced and seemed to just appear with no trail of advancement or progression of previous tech. back then the story was 20 years old but plenty of people still worked on the base to talk about it and they did, frequently. There is even a little statue of the craft in the woods 🤣 I was barely 19 years old myself at the time, would love to have had the balls and presence of mind to ask more lol.

Even at the time the guy worked there in the 80's he said the highest ranking person on the base had never even heard some of the terms used to describe 'what we did have' vs 'what we dont have or that we dont know our adversaries have' ... this fully exhausts all I know from the dude. He reported directly to a commander of TFW from the sister base at the time but I cant remember what it was called off the top. Basically everyone who had clearance to know everything, had no fucking idea what they were dealing with, lol

I did my own research online years later about the case, the materials described, the markings, the time dilation... and the talk of the camp he would talk about was the detectable 'trace' of this craft which it left on the ground was like nothing anyone at the time had seen. It was a US / UK joint base at the time too so you would have thought at least someone would have known they were testing new shit close to the base or even ON the base, or at least that would make sense to me. The case consumed me for a long time to the point my girlfriend at the time nicknamed me spooky mulder... and I was just the security guy!

It's an amazing story to learn about. I have not a clue if it was us, aliens, Russians, time travellers etc but I know for an 'almost fact' that the highest ranking intelligence folk at that time were completely stumped by it, which is ominous as fuck. This was not just 'any' RAF base at the time. It was basically ground zero for military tech. All of our secret projects went through there. The US stored experimental planes and weapons there, it was basically the UK's area 51 ffs. Not the case now but it 100% was back in the 80's. You needed several levels of clearance and security to even know it's exact location.

>tfw I saw an UFO rising out of a haunted forest at night

What really grinds my gears is that it made zero impression on me. I acknowledged it happened and felt NOTHING. I went back inside thinking how odd it is that I don't care. Why is it not exciting?!
lt bothers me terribly.
 
This movie looks so rad. I think I saw the trailer for it when I saw Backrooms.

Definitely gonna see this in theaters.

It wouldn't have been man made. We would have seen this tech in action today if it was.

Time travel is an interesting theory, but honestly aliens are more believable than time travel.

When the smartest people in the room are stumped, then you pay attention. It's why I don't buy the lighthouse theory. They would have thought of that and no way could a group of military personal mistake a lighthouse for a UFO.

Probably explains why that thing appeared there. I'm not saying aliens, but I'm with you. Something very strange happened that night.

hmm, I am assuming you are talking about the Ness lighthouse? I think it got knocked down a long time ago. I do remember seeing it on the occasion during the day but never at night, and you would only see it on the road going into Rendelsham itself coming from the direction of Tunstall which was the next village over.

There is no way you could see that from the spot it happenned, I think... That whole area is a nature reserve full of tall trees, hills. Like theres just no way.

Oh shit, you are also from Brazil? lol

Always funny to find another brazilian on Gaf randomly

My dad is certain that the movie will be used to announce that ETs are real (since White House is releasing some ET files etc.)

LOL , poor old man

I'm a Spielberg fan but trailers didnt excite me at all

nah man I am not from Brazil! just familiar with the case, it was pretty famous worldwide.
 
I thought Dune Part 3 was going to be released this summer, so now I have no summer flick to look forward to except for Disclosure. Which I'm still not that hyped over. The Odyssey I'll stream and maaaybe watch the next Spider-Man flick in the theaters if it gets really good reviews. Gone are the amazing times of summer blockbusters.

I really hope this movie is interesting and thought-provoking.
 
Definitely want to see the reactions in here before watching this movie. Not sure what to think or feel from what I have seen in the trailers for this. Also that weird mouth popping sound is annoying.
 
Thought it was interesting Spielberg said something to the effect that disclosure would make Christians and "people of faith" consider their beliefs. But not other religions. Probably just knows Christians would make up the most of his audience (of those who follow a religion).

My personal understanding of Christianity is that Jesus is God's avatar made for mankind, specifically, to relate to and live through. And God's way of experiencing his creation like we do (i.e. at a baser level).

Since God (in my opinion) is the summation of all consciousness at the highest level. Consciousness being what arises when matter interacts with other matter. Like how we can't answer the question of who we are: are we our individual cells, bodies, brains, or consciousness? I think the answer to all that is "Yes." God is like that but on the level of including everything, including us. Just like we have individual cells in our bodies that add up to our experienced level of consciousness.

All that is to say, I think Jesus was "designed" for humans, specifically, and it doesnt preclude God from communicating with aliens (if they existed) in another way.

I don't know if this story exists, but it'd be a cool sci-fi story where aliens start out attacking, but there's a rogue group who shares with us the story of their messiah, and we learn by comparing messiahs that the God in the Bible aligns with their God. Meaning we just got more "proof" that God exists. Then we all become homeboys. Hollywood wouldn't make that, though.

He was pretty clear the technology was man made. It was my understanding from my time on the base that the government just ran with the ufo story as it was convenient for them.

It's been like 20 years since then so I wish I could say more. My personal take after everything is that some country has developed extremely advanced / dangerous tech and weapons that the uk government at the time had no idea who it belonged to, and it seem so far in advance that it was bordering on science fiction. This was the 80s bare in mind.

We still talking about disclosure? I've already seen the film so can confirm in spoiler if you want. lol

Intersting topic however. I like the idea that, the earth being as old as it is, civilisations existed here and the monolithic structures dotted around the planet with little or no logical explanation of build technique are theirs. They got wiped out by disasters, and the only things that remain are stone structures.

I think it's a little woo-woo to suggest that 'they are still here' as covering something like that up would be next to impossible. Security industry works very differently to how the movies and conspiracy theorists on the internet think it does. It's chaotic, it's disorganized, people leak and talk constantly. There would have been no way to keep a secret that big from coming out. Would bet my entire career on it.
