《第三类接触》导演史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格谈外星人:“我完全确信它们曾来过地球,如今也依然在这里”

在影院里观看《第三类接触》是一回事。和史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格一起观看?那堪称大师课。当看到理查德·德莱福斯出演的场景时,他回忆起了当时的拍摄条件:“当时阿拉巴马州莫比尔的气温差不多有95华氏度,湿度高达80%。我记得清清楚楚!”他笑着说道。

罗伊·耐尔(理查德·德莱福斯 饰)在遭遇外星人后被神秘幻象困扰,当他看到怀俄明州魔鬼塔的电视新闻报道时,终于理清了头绪——这一信息首先通过斯皮尔伯格的宽屏构图呈现在观众面前,披露节奏缓慢却极具效力。

“就在那一刻你会想:等等,我是不是看到了我以为看到的东西?”斯皮尔伯格说,“然后,你会看向哪里?你是会盯着电视屏幕,还是会看向演员?理查德演得很棒,但此刻你会被电视屏幕牢牢吸引。”

《第三类接触》以外星人的抵达收尾。49年后,在新片《披露日》中,斯皮尔伯格设想它们从未离开,只是其存在一直被系统性否认和掩盖。

“《披露日》讲述的是,如果有人拥有权力,并且掌握了过去80年间所有相关视觉证据档案,那么如果他们决定一次性向全球公开这些数据,会发生什么?”斯皮尔伯格说,“而那些试图阻止这场数据公开的人,基本上就是这部追逃电影的核心冲突。”

这既是一部追逃题材影片,也是一部70年代风格的惊悚片,还融合了大型科技公司阴谋论元素,三者碰撞让《披露日》成为面向现代观众的科幻故事。

如今公众对机构的信任度低于水门事件后的上世纪70年代,此时上映《披露日》,是否更能让观众相信这类阴谋论确实存在?“当然,”斯皮尔伯格说,“我不能代表所有观众,但有些东西能将我们团结在一起。其中一件事,也是我们能找到的共识之一,就是我们都相信非凡之事是可能的,不可能之事同样可能。我认为UAP、UFO,整个相关现象,是任何文化、政治立场的人都能达成共识的话题。”

影片由艾米丽·布朗特领衔主演,她饰演堪萨斯城的一名气象主播——一位突然拥有了自己无法理解的天赋和技能的气象学家。

“这部电影站在相信者和好奇者的视角,也就是那些深受此事影响的群体的立场,”斯皮尔伯格说,“艾米丽·布朗特饰演的玛格丽特·费尔柴尔德,你知道,她身上发生了一些事。她完全不知道那是什么。她必须试着弄清楚为什么这件事彻底颠覆了她的生活。”

“同时,这部电影也站在教会的立场进行探讨:这会对我们许多人的核心信仰产生什么影响?上帝真的只眷顾这颗星球上的我们吗?还是说,只要存在文明和智慧生命,甚至只是处于发展中的生命,上帝就会庇佑那里的一切?”

作为改变好莱坞格局的导演,这位导演已推出第34部长片作品,其震撼人心的大片和深入人心的经典故事影响深远。至于《披露日》,斯皮尔伯格称它是《第三类接触》的呼应之作,但他在两部电影中流露的对宇宙的普遍好奇,最早可以追溯到大约70年前新泽西州的一个繁星之夜。

“我当时大概五六岁,”他说,“父亲走进卧室把我从熟睡中叫醒,带我上了车。就只有我和爸爸,我们开了一整夜车。时间不算长。我一直在问:‘爸爸,那是什么?那是什么?’他说:‘这是个惊喜。’然后他在一个大公园前停了车。那是英仙座流星雨。那就是我爱上天空的开端。”

“我记得当时有多震撼,”斯皮尔伯格说,“但我也记得看到这些光点在天空中划过的样子。我只记得那是我见过的最不可思议的事情之一。”

从那以后,他就一直在探索这种非凡之物,小时候在科幻杂志里寻找灵感,就像我们和他分享的这些杂志一样。“我的天,那正是我父亲读的杂志!《银河》《类比》和《惊奇故事》——这三本期刊,我们家卫生间里堆得到处都是。你知道,就在卫生间后面那个小架子上,堆得老高了!”

从杂志到数字媒体,这位79岁的电影人最初是在手机的备忘录里构思《披露日》的故事的。“就是在那里我写下了初稿!然后我打印出来,读完之后再回到iPad上修改。我的字太差了。年纪越大,字就越潦草,连我自己都认不出来了。年轻的时候我还能用手写把所有东西都写下来。”

这部电影是虚构作品,但斯皮尔伯格认为这在某种意义上只是个技术细节。“想想看:当一部分人知道了这个伟大的未知之谜,而另一部分人却一无所知,这种不平等就是我创作《披露日》故事的契机,”他说。

既然斯皮尔伯格坚信这个版本的“伟大未知”,我不禁问道:“你这辈子有没有经历过什么超自然事件?”

他摇了摇头。“这不是很糟糕吗?”他笑着说,“我活该!我应该亲眼见到一次。本,我需要一次目击。我的意思是,我是这些家伙的代言人,但它们都没向我现身?我搞不懂。”

“那它们现在正在听——”

“希望如此!”

“这听起来是个疯狂的问题,我不敢相信我居然在认真问这个,但我还是要严肃地问:外星人曾来过地球吗?你觉得它们现在还在这里吗?”

“基于我一生收集的所有间接证据,我听过的每个人的讲述,我看过的每一部纪录片,还有我在国会听到的所有证词,我完全确信它们曾来过地球,如今也依然在这里,”斯皮尔伯格说,“谁知道呢,也许它们一直都在。”

“Disclosure Day” director Steven Spielberg on aliens: “I absolutely think that they have been here, and they are here.”

June 7, 2026 / 10:18 AM EDT / CBS News

It’s one thing to watch “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” in a theater. Watching it with Steven Spielberg? That’s a master class. Viewing a scene with Richard Dreyfuss, the conditions of filming came back to him: “It was, like, 95° in Mobile, Alabama, and, like, 80% humidity. I remember that!” he laughed.

Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss), haunted by a mysterious vision following an alien encounter, puts two and two together when he sees a TV news report from Devil’s Tower, Wyoming – information that is first revealed to the audience via Spielberg’s widescreen composition, information revealed very slowly, and effectively.

“Right there you say, Wait a second, did I see what I think I saw?” said Spielberg. “And then, who are you gonna watch? Are you gonna watch the TV screen, or are you gonna watch the actor? Richard’s great, but you’re watching the TV screen now.”

“Close Encounters” ends with the arrival of the aliens. Forty-nine years later, Spielberg imagines they never left, but their presence has been systematically denied and covered up, in his new film, “Disclosure Day.”

“‘Disclosure Day’ is about how, if somebody had the power and if somebody had possession of the entire archive of visual evidence of what’s been happening for the last 80 years, what would happen if they decided to do a data dump across the entire world all at once?” Spielberg said. “And the people who are trying to stop that data dump from happening, that is basically the core of this chase movie.”

It’s part chase flick, part ’70s thriller, and part big tech conspiracy, all colliding to make “Disclosure Day’ a sci-fi story for a modern audience.

With faith in institutions lower than in the post-Watergate 1970s, is it a better time to release “Disclosure Day,” to have buy-in from the audience that such a conspiracy could exist? “Oh yeah,” Spielberg said. “I can’t speak for the entire audience, but there are certain things that unite us. And one of the things that unites us, one of the places we can find common ground, is our united belief that the extraordinary is possible, and the impossible is possible. And I think UAP, UFO, the whole phenomenon is something that everybody across any spectrum – culturally, politically – can agree on.”

The cast is led by Emily Blunt, who plays a weathercaster in Kansas City – a meteorologist who inherits sudden gifts and skills that she does not understand.

“The movie takes the position of the believers, or the curious, the ones that have been deeply affected by this,” said Spielberg. “The Emily Blunt character (Margaret Fairchild), you know, something has happened to her. She has no idea what it is. She has to try to understand why this has upended her life.

“And the movie also takes the position of the church. What does this do to the fundamental beliefs that many of us have? Is God our God only on this planet? Or is God a god for every system where there’s civilization and intelligent life, and even developing life?”

This is the 34th feature from a director who altered the Hollywood landscape, with blockbusters that electrified us, and classic stories that seeped under our skin. As for “Disclosure Day,” Spielberg calls it a bookend to “Close Encounters,” but the universal curiosity he expresses in both movies dates all the way back to a starry night about 70 years ago in New Jersey.

“I was about five or six years old,” he said, when his father came in the bedroom and woke him up from a sound sleep and him in a car. “Just my father and me drove through the night. Not long. I kept saying, ‘Dad, what is it? What is it?’ He said, ‘It’s a surprise.’ And he stopped at a big park. And it was the Perseids meteor shower. And that was the beginning of my love affair with the sky.

“I remember how shocked I was,” Spielberg said. “But I also remember seeing these points of light darting across the sky. And I just remember thinking that was one of the most extraordinary things I had ever seen.”

He’s been exploring the extraordinary ever since, finding it as a boy in science fiction magazines, like the one we shared with him. “Oh my God, because that is what my father read! Galaxy, Analog, and Amazing Stories, those three periodicals – and our bathroom was piled high. You know, on the little, behind, right? This high with these magazines!”

What started with magazines has gone digital. The 79-year-old filmmaker began shaping the “Disclosure Day” story in the Notes section of his phone. “That’s where I wrote it! And then I printed it out and would read it and then go back to my iPad again. I mean, my handwriting is so bad. As I’ve gotten older it’s gotten so bad I can’t read it myself. I used to, when I was much younger, I used to write everything out longhand.”

The film is fiction, though Spielberg sort of sees that as a technicality. “Think about this: When the Great Unknown is actually known by some, but not known by all of us, it’s that inequity that got me to write the story for ‘Disclosure Day,’” he said.

Since Spielberg believes in this version of the Great Unknown, I had to ask: “Have you ever had any sort of paranormal event in your life?”

He shook his head no. “Isn’t that terrible?” he laughed. “I deserve that! I deserve a sighting. Ben, I need a sighting. I mean, I’m an ambassador to these guys, and they haven’t shown themselves to me? I don’t get that.”

“Well, they’re listening now – “

“I hope so!”

“That leads to – I mean, this seems a crazy question, I can’t believe I’m asking it, but I’m asking it seriously. Have aliens been here, and do you think they might still be here?”

“Based on the circumstantial evidence of everything that I’ve gathered throughout my whole life, everybody I’ve listened to and every documentary I’ve ever watched and all the testimonies in Congress that I’ve heard, I absolutely think that they have been here, and they are here,” Spielberg said. “And who knows, maybe they’ve always been here.”
