Steven Spielberg believes in aliens and has warned 'we are not alone on Earth'

Steven Spielberg believes in aliens and has warned "we are not alone on Earth".

The 79-year-old filmmaker's upcoming movie Disclosure Day is about UFOs and while he "doesn't know" for sure if extra-terrestrials exist, he has a "very strong suspicion" that they do, and he was thrilled when former US President Barack Obama recently declared aliens are "real".

Speaking during The Big Picture with Steven Spielberg Live conversation at SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, on Friday (13.03.26), he said: “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."

Of Obama's recent comments, he admitted his first thought was: “Oh, my God, this is so great for Disclosure Day!”

He added: “And two days later, he stepped it back to to say what he believed was in life in the cosmos — which, of course, everybody should believe in.

"Because no one should ever think that we are the only intelligent civilization in the entire universe. So I’ve been thinking as a kid that we were not alone. So that just goes without saying. The big question is: Are we alone now? And have we been alone over the last 80 years? Have we been alone over the last few thousand years?”
