Disclosure Day (2026)
Waiting only three months for a mainstream movie to show on a streaming service seems very short. I’m grateful, though. I knew it would be an echo of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and yet carry the story way further than anyone expected.
A weather news anchor begins experiencing strange behaviors and discovers she can suddenly speak various dialects–including what appears to be an alien language. At the same time, a mysterious man with an unknown past comes into possession of stolen government evidence proving the existence of extraterrestrial life and is determined to make it public. For reasons neither fully understands, the two are drawn together. If they can navigate government agents, suspicious spouses, and others trying to stop them, they may reveal a truth that could change humanity forever.
Here’s the theatrical clip:
It’s quite the train ride from start to finish. And, as far as Steven Spielberg’s methods are concerned, he uses just two individuals to get his message across: weatherperson Margaret and cybersecurity specialist Dr. Daniel. Their lives are tied together from a “Hansel and Gretel” event at age ten. Daniel’s abilities were triggered at age 20. Margaret’s were triggered yesterday. A Cardinal was involved (hence the superimposed image on the poster). He translates the alien clicks she speaks into English.
I cannot fault Spielberg’s story-telling. But he does have a thing for big machines (this time, fire trucks). What we witness when Margaret and Daniel go back to their joint experience at 10 is something that many others have gone through in reality. I’ve written about them before, including Whitley Strieber and others, on these pages. Disclosure is very much needed to exonerate and authenticate these individuals. Government agencies work on the premise that disclosure will ‘upset the apple cart’. But we as a civilization have gone too far off-track to carry on the way we have been behaving. Something has to change. Humanity needs a reset. Discovering that there are other beings looking out for our best would certainly wake a lot of people up. Margaret’s empathy would be a good starting point. It’s called ‘walking a mile in another man’s moccasins’. Hmm.
