Movie Review

This week, the Steven Spielberg movie “Disclosure Day” appeared in theaters, and I took the opportunity to see it with my spouse.  “Disclosure Day” is a movie portraying a day in which secret information regarding the government’s full knowledge of ETs and UFOs is released to the public.  I have always enjoyed Steven Spielberg movies, I have an interest in UFOs and non-human life forms, and we had not been to a theater since before the pandemic, so this was a real treat!  I don’t want to give away a lot of the detail about the movie, so as not to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet, but I did want to take this opportunity to share my thoughts about it, and why, without revealing too much about the movie.

I can honestly say that, at first, I was a little disappointed with the movie.  It didn’t seem like the other Spielberg movies I had seen and loved. For me, they always carried deeper concepts below the surface.  As someone who sees the world through symbols and synchronicities, and such, Spielberg’s movies were appealing to me in that way.  I walked away from “Disclosure Day” liking it (because there were parts of it that resonated with me, and other parts that I felt quite emotional about), but I also felt like something was missing or not more clearly revealed.  However, the longer I have been away from it (a few days now), the more I am understanding why it had an awkward sort of feel to me.   I think that rather than trying to say “This is how it will happen”, Spielberg was planting seeds of another kind, rather than telling a full story.  And that, I think, is because the true story is quite different! I think he is also showing to the audience what people think “disclosure” is, while hinting at an alternative way in which it really happens (assuming, of course, that you believe in the reality of non-human life forms).  It’s very subtle, but ET experiencers may recognize it! “Disclosure” has been happening for quite some time, and quite separate from government control programs, media sensationalism, and internet concepts. It is an internal process that evolves over time through individuals seeking answers to their own life mysteries.

Experience

When I was around 15 or 16 years old (‘75/’76), I saw a UFO in Corpus Christi, Texas.  I was going into work at Burger Chef, and opened the door to walk in, and as I was doing that, I looked across the street at a small strip mall and saw a large craft just sitting there silently, hovering just a bit above the mall.  It actually was as large as the entire strip mall, and I was surprised that no one was seeing it, as it was in the middle of the day, completely sunny, and the craft was so huge.  I don’t know how long I was standing there with the door open, and it truly felt like time stood still.  It was not until my best friend inside the shop (who also worked there) came up to me and told me to come in, that I suddenly realized where I was, and that I was now looking at “nothing” in the space where I had been watching “something”!  When I told her what happened, she said she had been praying (she was very religious) that I would see a UFO, because she had recently been sleep walking and finding herself in her back yard at night, and thought she was having an encounter with a UFO, but had never told me.  Soon after this experience, the details of what I saw began to fade to the point that I sort of forgot about it for many years after.  Had I not told my friend about it, and received her acknowledgment that it happened in that moment, I would not have believed the reality of my experience as I reflected back on it years later. The memory of it all did not actually come back to me until 33 years (2008) later when my mother passed away.  She had always had a deep belief in UFOs, and said that she saw several of them in her life – particularly when we were stationed at the Air Force Academy in Colorado in the 1960s. In the weeks leading up to my mother’s passing, there was a big news story on TV about a UFO incident in Stephenville, Texas (which, coincidentally, is very near where my father’s parents grew up), and watching that with her, brought back my memories of my own experience in the 70s in Corpus Christi, Texas. 

I don’t know for certain if I have had other encounters with UFOs or ETs, but I have had some interesting dreams that have given me pause.  In one, I recall being surprised to see that the sun was white when viewed from space (I was looking at it from space).  I never knew until years after that dream, that the sun actually IS white (not yellow)! About 10 years ago, I had a week of dreams that involved the same type of ETs (all women with striking eyes). I would see them in a crowd, for example, because they stood out.  They would simply be watching me. In one dream, I was in the 1940s (I actually felt like I was there – the feel of the air, the smells, the clothing, etc.), and again, I saw one of these women watching me.  I have also seen ET crafts from a distance away in dreams (one of which flew right up to my window from miles up, in a matter of seconds, as I was wondering what all the many specs of light were that were creating formations of symbols), have dreamed of being on crafts in space, and in one dream, felt very deep love and recognition of an older female ET I interacted with, who’s body shape and feet reminded me of the stone goddesses seen in Malta (the place, incidentally, where my mother was born).  There are other dreams, but these are just a few examples.

I’ve come to believe over time, that ETs are very multidimensional, and interact with us through feelings, consciousness, dreams and love. I don’t believe they are violent or war-like, as a whole, and when I first started exploring my own experiences, I was very turned off by the emphasis of ET communities which colored ETs in a militarized way.  I think that fear and war are a very “human” reaction, but not a reaction of advanced races.  Also, militarizing this subject is very “American”, because other countries and cultures approach this subject in a very different way.  I actually feel more “at home” with South American cultures, when speaking about this subject.

Reflection on Movie

Stephen Speilberg’s movie “Disclosure Day”, I believe, is hinting that (1) there is a lot that we don’t yet know about non-human cultures – and a US government release of information will only touch the surface, and be very biased, at that; (2) that while we think we know how “disclosure” should happen or could happen, it actually will happen in unexpected ways that we may not recognize – i.e., not from the government, and not in a fearful way – perhaps using images that we relate to, rather than images that we cannot relate to or find fearful; (3) that “disclosure”, like Gnosticism (something I have wanted to write about for a while), comes from within, and involves remembering who we are and where we ALL come from; and finally, (4) that perhaps the most opportune time for disclosure of any kind, is when humanity has reached such a serious breaking point that it is seeking new answers, is open to new perspectives, is craving unity, and is uniquely positioned to receive information globally and all at once (as in the 24/7 access to our smart phones), to make vast changes possible on our planet! 

Final Thought

There is a message at the end of the movie.  It is one word, and then it is cut off by the movie ending.  I actually think it is a loaded message in need of some deeply personal reflection by all who hear it, because it has a double meaning (at least from my perspective).   It gives the impression that information is about to be shared by someone.  But I think it actually means that the information is already available – and has been – but we have not been seeing it – we have not been using this tool!  This word tells us how to find it – where it is. Information comes to us where we least expect it!
