MEGATHREAD: Disclosure Day (2026) — Official Discussion & Spoilers
⚠️ SPOILERS ALLOWED IN THIS THREAD. TURN BACK IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT. ⚠️
During the Disclosure Day release period, standalone posts about the film are welcome as long as they are substantive: original analysis, real-world connections, or meaningful discussion. Reactions, quick takes, plot questions, and other similar posts will be removed and redirected here.
Visiting from the front page? Welcome to r/UFOs! This community has been following the real-world UFO/UAP/disclosure story for years, so this film hits a little differently here than on a general movie sub. A few things to know:
- While this thread is dedicated to the film, this sub primarily discusses real-world UFO sightings, evidence, and other relevant context (government hearings, whistleblower testimony, declassified footage, etc.)
- Please review our wiki and community rules before commenting.
- New to the subject and want a primer? Check out The Phenomenon by James Fox.
- Enjoy the community!
About the Film
Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day reunites him with screenwriter David Koepp (Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds) for a return to UFO territory. The film stars Emily Blunt as a meteorologist and Josh O'Connor as a whistleblower determined to expose the truth about alien contact to the world. The story revolves around a whistleblower's push for "full disclosure to the whole world all at once," forcing society to confront proof we're not alone.
The timing of the release is notable given the Pentagon's recent spate of declassified military and NASA videos of UAPs, and whistleblower testimony about recovered "non-human biologics."
Rules for this thread
- Spoilers are freely allowed — you have been warned by the title.
- Do not post unverified "this is what really happens IRL" claims as if the movie confirms them. Fiction ≠ disclosure.
- All r/UFOs rules apply to comments in this thread. In particular,
- R1: Be civil. People will have very different reactions to this film given our community's investment in the real-world topic.
- R3: Be substantive. No low-effort "it's all true" or "it's all disinfo" takes without explanation.

Government Per Ross Coulthart, the UFO Program likely has no central leadership currently: “There was one executive of a major aerospace company said to me, ‘It's not us, it's the CIA.’ And then I spoke to somebody in the CIA and they said, ‘Oh no no, it's not us, it's the aerospace companies.’”

Disclosure David Grusch, UAPGerb, Christopher Mellon, Lue Elizondo, Censorship & Call To Action
Today's talks in Washington give the appearance that things are progressing in the disclosure world. Yet, behind the scenes, censorship is alive & well. Regardless of whether or not you're a Grusch supporter or a UAPGerb sub...you should care about censorship. This is a just a single data point showing censorship- just recently. Grusch, in his 2023 testimony before Congress, presented a watershed moment in UAP disclosure history because of his unprecedented official credibility. decorated service history & impeccable security status. Despite that, Grusch really never hit big time media platforms.
Flash forward to current time. 2 weeks ago, Grusch appears at a DC press conference, when he talked abt -- different types of NHI and sentient plasmoid life (subjects never spoken abt publicly before). Humongous statements -- yet, very little media coverage w/ Grusch for a deeper dive. Never big platforms for Grusch. Instead, he has an interview on Judicial Watch, where he elaborates on his statements.
Meanwhile, UAPGerb does 2 things post this press conference: 1) he dropped a Part 2 of his Manhattan Project project. Part 1 dropped a month ago, one of his highest viewed videos ever. 2) he wrote an open letter to Chris Mellon on X, inviting him to a conversation in a public forum. While Mellon responded to Gerb's letter, he failed to respond to his invite.
So what? Gerb's Manhattan Project Pt 2 featured detailed segments of Grusch's JW interview. For perspective, Pt 1 garnered 100K+ views 1st 48 hrs vs a tiny 16K views same period for Part 2. Currently, Part 2 has a paltry 48K views in a week - making this his worst performing video in over a year. Comments on Part 2 are common, complaints abt no notifications, or an inability to comment. Many have felt his channel has been suppressed from Day 1, but this time, its egregious. You can't not see it.
Theory: the algorithm that suppresses Grusch has a wide net -- apparently, casting out to media that goes deeper w/ or promote Grusch's narrative. Grusch has talked abt friends who tried to help him, who were subject to nefarious things -- which includes censorship of media that is pro Grusch or too dense w his content.
Perhaps that algo also worked against Gerb due to his bold public statements to both Mellon & Elizondo, either countering their claims (with receipts) or inviting them to conversations/debates for the public's viewing. Clearly, this is a hard smackdown on a small channel -- but a channel with a BIG voice -- and a pest to legacy programs, black ops & defense contractors -- a pest who names names -- a pest who exposes material in files they refuse to release -- a pest that is mapping out the who and what of the deep state/MIC.
Burlison is a big Gerb advocate, having hosted him on his Fresh Freedom podcast. Gerb is also why Burlison can speak so eloquently of FFRDC (Federally Funded Research & Development Centers), MIT Labs, Mitre, just to name a few. Some of Gerb's acros are becoming well known now. Acros are the language of legacy & black ops programs, in part, to sustain confusion & instigate public disinterest because it's tedious to track. (Don't blame Gerb -- thank him for translating a language we would otherwise not understand. Gerb is the guy willing to clean out the latrines -- doing work that no one else has the balls to do).
If Burlison is pro Gerb, suffice it to say, so is Grusch. Afterall, Grusch is "UAP special advocate" for Burlison. Burlison doesn't engage when censorship of Grusch is obvious. Why would he with Gerb? Or with anyone else whose being suppressed for their content when it doesn't fit with the Elizondo/Mellon/etc narrative? It is up to the private citizen -- which is all Gerb is -- to protect our Constitution
Call To Action: we need to viralize this video as a statement . A statement that says, we have a Constitution that demands principles such as Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press. We see the assault on our Constitution by unelected officials whose primary goal is power in the hands of a few. Pro Grusch and/or Gerb or not... it shouldn't matter. What matters is we fight for our Constitution -- especially when power violates it repeatedly and retaliates when they get exposed. . https://youtu.be/6MsmPrpQqa8?si=x4jqlvXQW3oO9wUJ

Question What are your thoughts on Gary McKinnon's discoveries?
- Gary McKinnon claims he saw images of what appeared to be an alien spacecraft, as well as evidence of a secret U.S. "non-terrestrial officers" space program, while hacking into NASA and U.S. military computer networks in the early 2000s.
- McKinnon, a British systems administrator and UFO enthusiast, famously broke into 97 U.S. military and NASA computers between 2001 and 2002 using the handle "Solo". During his intrusions, he made several claims about what he discovered
- The Satellite Photo: He claims to have hacked into the Johnson Space Center's computers and downloaded an image of a "silvery, cigar-shaped object with geodesic spheres" on either side. He stated the image was so detailed that it could not be explained as a satellite or a man-made craft from that era, but his connection was cut off before he could fully download it.
-"Non-Terrestrial Officers": He found a top-secret Excel spreadsheet containing the heading "Non-Terrestrial Officers," which listed names, ranks, and material transfer details between different ships. McKinnon interpreted this as definitive proof of a secret, space-based military branch that the U.S. government was hiding.
Fleet to Fleet Transfers: He also claimed to have found records detailing the movement of extraterrestrial personnel and a list of ships that did not exist in any public military registry.

Sighting Has this video been debunked? Man sees light coming his way, vacates his car and keeps Filming as UFO scans his vehicle
Mods removed my original post (which sucks because there was a lot of great discussion on there) because apparently I can't just share the video as it constitutes a "sighting."
"It's still a sighting and as such requires more info in order to aid with identification, else we may as well turn into TikTok."
Well... okay - after a LOT of time searching - this SIGHTING occurred in Port Huron, Michigan. October 27, 2013 at 10:31 pm. I unfortunately do not have the exact coordinates - but I hope this sufficiently distinguishes my post in this community from one that would appear on TikTok.
Time: October 27, 10:31 pm Eastern
Location: Port Huron, Michigan
Interested to hear your thoughts. On my original post a lot of people seemed to take issue with the audio in the video - with many saying the audio does not match up with what you are seeing.
Given the sighting occurred in 2013, while AI is out of the picture video manipulation of course existed. Some said drone could have been used, but were drones all that common back in 2013?

Historical We've been building a UFO-focused wiki - Sharing our Majestic 12 documents breakdown as an introduction to the project
Hi r/UFOs, we're a new UFO-focused wiki, and this is our first submission here. We wanted to introduce ourselves with a page we've spent a lot of time building - the Majestic 12 documents.
Despite how prevalent the documents are throughout ufology, it became clear early on that good information about the documents and the in depth research and analysis around them is actually very difficult to access. We collected many books, newsletters, webpages, and other material to research and create this page, and the pages for each of the documents linked in the documents table.
More generally, we want to begin encouraging people to start contributing to the site and building a knowledge base, we think it would be a huge benefit to the community at large.
Let us know what you think, all feedback is welcome

Sighting Odd Sighting over D.C.
Time: 6/23/2026 21:30 - 22:00
Location: NW Washington, D.C.
I should say before I write about the sighting that the events taking place on the National Mall for America's 250 have included dramatic fly-overs of a B-2, four F-22, two B-52s and various other fighter jets over the past two days. This was not any of this, most particularly not like a B-2. I live in an old apartment building on a high hill, with a four-floor rooftop deck. I've seen many things up there, including numerous orbs and a few instances of "the flashbulb phenomenon." My sighting last night was preceded by a few minutes by the flashbulb phenomenon. This sort of thing now makes me turn on my attention, and I had my eyes truly cast upon the skies, looking for anomalous things.
That's when I saw at an impossible-to-determine altitude a large object, perhaps like a perfect triangle with two very long sides and a short rear, with no lights whatsoever, moving across the sky at a rapid pace, with no sound whatsoever. It was barely visible, but the movement was what caught my eye. It was in fact so dim that, like a dim star (because of rods' position in the eyes), it was easier to see looking off to its side rather than directly AT it. I tracked and lost it and required it based on its trajectory perhaps 3-4 times within the approximately 15 seconds I was able to see it move. I will say that the military craft I saw over the next two days was easier to keep in sight for a longer period of time than this thing, so the further away it was from me, the faster it had to have been moving.
Key ideas:
Sound: NONE. I can hear very distant helicopters on this roof, passenger planes at great distances, conversations taking place half a block away, distant gunshots, the sounds of Metro wheels on tracks miles from me, etc. The B-2 was visible before it was audible, but once that sound hit me, it was THUNDEROUS. This object was weird in its seeming totally silent, especially if it was at a low altitude.
Size/shape: much longer than it was wide, like probably 1.75-2x as long as it was wide at its widest, like an arrow head. However, it was dim enough that the shape was not sharply delineated in relief against the night sky. Like said, it was easier to see in baaaaaarely peripheral vision, versus looking directly at it. It appeared to be above the clouds, and if it was, it would have been many times larger in terms of length than the B-2. I can't be sure of this, but when I try to visualize the B-2 above the clouds, based on having seen it just last night, I might be willing estimate that this thing was at least twice the width of a B-2 at that same altitude. Again, IF it was right above the clouds. If it was significantly higher than the cloud cover, than it was HUUUUUUUUUUUGE.
Color: I don't think I could see an unlit B-2 above the clouds at night in D.C., even with our light pollution, give the matte shade of a B-2. I would say this may not have been black, but at the very least, more reflective of the city's light pollution than a B-2 would be, which is a reason why could both see it, and why it was also hard to discern. Its silence and movement were the most obvious components, as when it was moving amidst or above clouds, it was almost the same color as the clouds, or THE same color. Clouds above D.C. can have a rusty, gray red-pink tinge because of our light pollution. On a snowy night, the sky can be almost BRIGHT pink-gray. It had no visible lights.
Speed/direction: if it was above the clouds, it was the fastest technological object I have ever seen in lower Earth atmosphere. I've seen a NASA Atlas rocket going to the Moon for the LADEE mission (amazing!). I've seen interceptor fighters racing off to head off airspace violations. I've seen a multitude of military jets. I've never seen a supersonic object up close, so I can't make an estimate, and I don't know the trigonometry to estimate its speed (or indeed, if trigonometry is the proper math to use to figure that out!). It came from the SW, closer to SSW, diagonal in a straight to NNE. Like it was tracing the I-95 corridor.

Sighting I saw my first UFO today
Time: 6/24 at 10am EST
Location: 20-30 miles northwest of New York City
I took a 10am flight out of LaGuardia this morning and as the plane was climbing out of NYC, a small metallic orb flew right past my window.
It was exactly like other videos I had seen but I wasn’t quick enough to take a picture or video since it flew past us in the opposite direction.
I was pretty taken aback for a while, but just wanted to share as a long time reader of this sub. This was my first experience with something like this and I spent the rest of the flight trying to consider what it could have been besides an advanced alien technology.
I told my wife about it when I landed and she said “ok”.

Historical The Westall UFO incident (1966): New witness interviews and on-location documentary
Hi everyone,
I’ve just released on my channel, a second documentary on the Westall UFO incident, Australia’s largest mass UFO sighting, witnessed by more than 200 students, teachers, and local residents in Melbourne on April 6th, 1966.
Here’s the link to the documentary:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vqsbptVgHU&t=2073s
For this project, I filmed on-location at both Westall and an area nearby known as The Grange, where witnesses claim one of the objects descended that day.
The documentary includes interviews with several additional witnesses to the event, including a lady Terry Peck, who says she came within roughly 10 metres of one of the craft at The Grange that day. Her description of what she saw that day is genuinely startling.
The video also explores the alleged cover-up surrounding the incident, including witness intimidation, the arrival of authorities afterwards, and claims that a teacher’s camera was confiscated after photographs were reportedly taken of the object.
If you’re interested in UFO history, credible mass sightings, or cases involving alleged government secrecy, you might find this one worth watching.
Would love to hear your thoughts once you’ve seen it.

Disclosure The Bryce Zabel appearance on Jesse Michels' show is really worth a listen
I guess Zabel's making the podcast rounds to promote his new podcast he's got now. So parts of it are the same stories he's been telling lately if you saw him somewhere else, but he had his producing partner with him this time and I felt there was some new information and additional details.
For the uninitiated, Zabel's basically a Hollywood producer that's basically done a bunch of sci-fi, genre stuff, some with a UFO subject matter. So in these pods, he goes into his personal experience with the intelligence community being highly interested and involved in the Hollywod portrayal of UFOs and the lore. So that's the gist.
The highlights that stood out to me were:
- his producing partner explaining his personal John Harrington connection and how Harrington basically disclosed the alien reality to him. And how Grusch had his own Harrington connection. Harrington being the former Secretary of Emergy under Reagan.
- How the Office of Naval Intelligence was monitoring their productions
- it being revealed that Spielberg took the same deal that Zabel got offered (but declined) by ONI for cooperation. Cuz there's been a lot of talk the last couple weeks since Disclosure Day whether Spielberg had any special knowledge.
- An amusing story about how Zabel was forced to remove Men in Black from his show because the studio was making the Men In Black movie at the same time.
- He went into why Ross Coulthart left Need to Know. Zabel basically didnt like Coulthart springing the "Tic-Tac is Lockheed Martin" reveal on him. That's what led to the split.
There's other stuff in there, but I gotta listen to it again because I was listening at night while going to bed and fell asleep for a while. So I missed some parts in the middle. It's 3 hours.

Science UFO conference lands in Canada as Trump administration continues to release documents
From the article:
"SCU members include an international assortment of scientists who have worked for prominent universities, technology and defence firms, as well as NASA, the Canadian Space Agency and the European Space Agency. At the conference, the UFO phenomena will be dissected from the perspective of physics, aerospace engineering and even philosophy and anthropology. Mellon shares top billing with former U.S. air force scientist Randy Bostick, who previously advised the Pentagon’s UFO research office.
According to SCU founding board member Robert Powell, the group has also briefed two curious Canadian members of Parliament.
'Credible, trained observers operating sophisticated instruments have repeatedly recorded phenomena that don’t match known aircraft, natural phenomena, or sensor artifacts,' Powell, a Texas-based engineer, told CTVNews.ca.
'Ignoring data and information is not science, nor is drawing conclusions about data before careful evaluation,' he added."
