Steven Spielberg says Barack Obamas alien comments are so great for Disclosure Day

During a jam-packed SXSW panel about his career, director Steven Spielberg talked everything from Disclosure Day to aliens to President Barack Obama. And yes, all these topics are related.

Disclosure Day follows a cybersecurity administrator (Josh O'Connor) who decides to expose a massive secret: that humans aren't alone in the universe. It marks Spielberg's return to UFOs and aliens, subject matter he's already well-versed in thanks to films like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
