Steven Spielberg

Did you try to reach out to anyone?

I actually purposely stayed away from that.

Really?

Why?

Because I wrote a story.

My story is a science fiction story.

The foundation upon which I built my science fiction story is a very, very credible foundation just based on everything that I've absorbed over many, many decades, but especially over the last decade.

And there is a consistency in the reporting.

There is circumstantial evidence from tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people who have claimed, not just in America, but all over the world, to have seen something or met people who had seen things.

I mean, you sound very much like you believe aliens exist.

That is what I'm getting from you in this conversation.

And I'm recalling that I, in preparation for this interview, I listened to a bunch of your interviews, and I heard you say once that Close Encounters, when you made that movie, it was about what you hoped was in the universe.

Yes.

And now you're at the point where you, it sounds like you very much believe that this exists.

What would the younger Spielberg have thought, listening to you now as such a believer that this is what actually exists in the universe?

Well, the younger me wouldn't have been exposed to the incredible plethora of visual documentation of what's been going on, seeing is believing.

And until I see something myself and why I have not seen a UFO, I don't understand why they haven't come to me yet.

I mean, I feel like their agent.

So I have not had any sightings whatsoever.

However, having said that, so much of the believers, I now believe the believers.
