00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.080
This is UFO sightings today. Steven Spielberg has made a

2
00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:07.160
career out of staging the moment the public meets the unknown,

3
00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:10.960
and this week Vanity Fair reported that real life UFO

4
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:15.519
experts say his new film Disclosure Day does something unusual.

5
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:21.559
It gets the small bureaucratic details right. The piece describes

6
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:25.519
how the film dramatizes not only strange lights and official statements,

7
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:31.079
but the slow bureaucratic machinery that would surround any genuine admission.

8
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:35.799
That matters because popular narratives shape what the public expects

9
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:39.560
from disclosure, and experts quoted by Vanity Fair say the

10
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:44.679
movie captures the confusion the classified files and the hesitant

11
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:49.479
officials better than most recent dramas. The Washington Post reports

12
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.280
a different kind of frustration. Some UFO watchers say they

13
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:56.640
are miffed at former President Trump for failing to deliver

14
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:00.439
a so called disclosure day. The paper notes a gap

15
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:07.040
between political showmanship and the slow work of investigators background context.

16
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.439
Many in the disclosure community have been buoyed by congressional

17
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:16.599
hearings and sworn testimony from former intelligence officers, and those

18
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:21.319
expectations now collide with the realities of classification and Federal

19
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:25.920
Oversight online. The conversation has turned to a fresh sighting

20
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.359
in Kentucky, a red and green light flashing at two

21
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:33.200
am on June twentieth. The witness says they were outside

22
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.480
smoking thought it was a helicopter at first, but the

23
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:40.480
object moved unnaturally and did not behave like conventional aircraft.

24
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:47.159
Official investigators urge caution. The Pentagon's Anomaly Resolution Office continues

25
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:52.239
to collect reports and encourages data sharing. Conventional explanations still

26
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:58.120
include aircraft, drones, satellites, or atmospheric effects, and scientists warn

27
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:03.959
that eyewitness reports alone are often insufficient. Will keep watching
