Spielberg’s Disclosure Day is making some wonder: will we have real disclosure soon? | Seth Shostak

The short answer is that there's nothing to disclose. But that doesn't mean we won't make contact with extraterrestrial life

Even before Stephen Spielberg's latest film, Disclosure Day, began unspooling at local multiplexes, the internet was debating whether we would ever experience a real-life disclosure day - when the US government admits that it's aware of aliens here on Earth, a secret it has supposedly kept since the 1940s.

That would be dramatic news. But don't hold your breath.
