For thousands of years, humanity has stared into the night sky searching for answers.

Ancient civilizations believed knowledge descended from the heavens. Prophets warned that signs in the sky could deceive entire nations. Presidents promised disclosure and then fell silent. Military pilots reported encounters they could not explain. Congress opened hearings. Religious leaders offered interpretations. Scientists demanded evidence.

Everyone seems to agree on one thing: Something is happening. The problem is that nobody agrees on what it means. That is what makes Stephen Spielberg’s new Disclosure Day (2026) movie so fascinating.

Rather than simply reviewing the new film about UFOs, extraterrestrials, government secrecy, and unexplained phenomena, I decided to turn the experience into a virtual escape room. Because the deeper I got into the film, the more it felt like humanity itself was trapped inside one giant puzzle… collecting clues from history, religion, politics, military, and personal experience while trying to answer a question that is older than civilization itself: If the truth finally appeared before us, would we even recognize it?

The Escape Room

Welcome to the Disclosure Files. Your mission is simple. Escape the room. And decide for yourself what the clues are really telling us. Warning: You have 10 minutes to escape.

The lights flicker.

A steel door slams shut behind you.

A speaker crackles to life.

Welcome to the Disclosure Files.

For thousands of years humanity has searched the heavens for answers.

Now you must solve eleven clues.

Some come from ancient civilizations.

Some come from presidents.

Some come from Congress.

Some come from religion.

Some come from people who claim they know the truth.

Solve them all and you will unlock my review of the Disclosure Day movie.

But be warned.

Not every clue points to the same conclusion.

A timer begins counting down.

10:00

The first door opens.

CLUE #1: THE ANCIENT TABLET

You enter a room containing a massive stone tablet.

Carved into the surface are pyramids, stars, and figures descending from the sky.

A message appears: Ancient civilizations often believed knowledge came from the heavens.

Some said the gods taught them agriculture.

Some said the gods taught them writing.

Some said the gods taught them pyramid architecture.

Some believed sacred knowledge descended from the sky itself.

Images of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Maya flash across the walls.

The puzzle asks: Why have human beings looked upward for thousands of years?

□ Religion

□ Curiosity

□ Wonder

□ All of the Above

You press: ALL OF THE ABOVE

The wall slides open.

CLUE #2: THE BOOK OF REVELATION

The next room is dark.

Lightning flashes across the ceiling.

A giant Bible slowly opens.

The pages stop at Revelation.

A passage begins to glow: “He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs…” — Revelation 13:13–14

Thunder echoes through the room.

A message appears: For thousands of years human beings have looked to the sky searching for meaning.

But Revelation asks a different question.

What if seeing a sign is not enough?

What if the challenge is knowing how to interpret it?

The puzzle asks: According to this passage, what is the real danger?

□ Strange things in the sky

□ Fire from heaven

□ Deception

□ Technology

You select: DECEPTION

The room glows green.

A hidden compartment opens.

Inside is a key.

Attached to it is a note: The greatest mystery is not always what we see.

Sometimes it is whether we understand what we are seeing.

The next door unlocks.

CLUE #3: PRESIDENT CARTER’S FILE

A photograph of President Jimmy Carter sits on a desk.

A note reads: Before becoming president, Jimmy Carter reported seeing an unexplained object in the sky.

Beside it sits a campaign poster from 1976.

Highlighted in yellow is a quote: “If I become President, I’ll make every piece of information this country has about UFO sightings available to the public.”

A key lies next to the poster.

But it is locked inside a glass box.

A second message appears: Carter won the presidency.

The promised disclosure never fully came.

The room grows quiet.

The puzzle asks: Why did a campaign promise about UFOs change after Jimmy Carter entered office?

□ New information

□ National security concerns

□ Bureaucratic resistance

□ He may have encountered evidence that changed his understanding

□ All of the Above

You select: ALL OF THE ABOVE

The glass box unlocks.

A green light flashes.

A note attached to the key reads: Sometimes the biggest mystery is not what leaders know.

It is what changes after they learn it.

The room asks one final question:

Does seeing something unexplained automatically tell us what it was?

□ Yes

□ No

You select: NO

The room responds: Correct.

Observation is not explanation.

The next door unlocks.

CLUE #4: THE EISENHOWER MYSTERY

A dusty file marked 1954 lies on a table.

Inside are stories claiming President Dwight Eisenhower secretly met extraterrestrials.

Next to it is another file containing comments from Laura Eisenhower confirming and discussing the possibility.

The puzzle asks: Which statement is true?

□ The story is proven.

□ The story is disproven.

□ The story remains debated.

You choose: THE STORY REMAINS DEBATED

The room replies: Good investigators separate stories from evidence.

A key appears.

CLUE #5: THE THOR FILE

A screen flickers.

A tall blond figure is seen entering Pentagon. An alien?

The label reads: THOR

A voice asks: Is every famous alien story from the 1950’s automatically true?

□ Yes

□ No

You press: NO

The screen responds:

Smart answer.

The next room opens.

CLUE #6: THE CANADIAN DEFENSE MINISTER

A battered government briefcase sits beneath a spotlight.

Stamped across the front: TOP SECRET

The latch clicks open.

Inside is a photograph of Minister Paul Hellyer.

A note reads: In September 2005, after serving as Canada’s Minister of National Defence, Paul Hellyer made one of the most remarkable public statements ever made by a former cabinet minister of a G8 country.

A newspaper clipping appears with a quote.

Highlighted in yellow: “UFOs are as real as the airplanes flying over your head.”

— Paul Hellyer, 2005

The room falls silent.

A second message appears: The former defense minister has made many other remarkable claims about aliens residing on earth.

What should happen next?

□ Believe it immediately

□ Dismiss it immediately

□ Examine the evidence

You select: EXAMINE THE EVIDENCE

A green light flashes.

The room responds: Correct.

Authority may open the door. Evidence must walk through it.

A hidden drawer slides open revealing the next key.

CLUE #7: THE CONGRESSIONAL HEARING

You enter a congressional hearing room.

Eyewitnesses testify. Video footage is presented showing unidentified objects moving at seemingly impossible speeds and executing maneuvers that defy conventional explanations.

Lawmakers ask questions.

Suddenly the word UFO disappears.

A new term appears: UAP

UNIDENTIFIED ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA

The puzzle asks: Why does the government use a new term?

□ To broaden the discussion

□ To include more kinds of unexplained events

□ To take the subject more seriously

□ All of the Above

You select: ALL OF THE ABOVE

The hearing room erupts in applause.

A screen lights up: Questions once dismissed as fringe now sit before Congress.

CLUE #8: THE REAGAN ROOM

A hologram of Ronald Reagan’s speech to the 42nd session of the UN appears.

He asks: “Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond.”

The puzzle asks: What was Reagan really talking about?

□ Aliens

□ Human unity

You answer: BOTH

The next door unlocks.

CLUE #9: THE VICE PRESIDENT VANCE CHAMBER

A television screen flickers to life.

Vice President J.D. Vance appears.

Across the screen flashes: “I was obsessed with the UFO files.”

The screen changes.

Another quote appears: “I don’t think they’re aliens.”

The room grows darker.

One final statement appears: “They’re spiritual forces working on the physical world.”

The wall suddenly splits in two.

One side reads:

EXTRATERRESTRIAL

The other reads:

SPIRITUAL

A voice asks:

What changed?

□ The object

□ The evidence

□ The interpretation

□ The witness

You select: THE INTERPRETATION

The room responds: Correct.

Sometimes the biggest mystery isn’t what people see.

It’s what they believe it means.

As you leave, glowing letters appear:

Ancient civilizations saw gods in the sky.

Revelation warned about signs in the heavens.

Modern governments investigate UAPs.

Different centuries.

Different explanations.

The same human question.

CLUE #10: THE 2026 PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE

Two doors stand before you.

One marked: OBAMA

The other: TRUMP

A headline flashes on one door.

Obama quote: “ALIENS ARE REAL”

The room erupts with alarms.

Another headline appears on the other door.

Trump response: “OBAMA MADE A BIG MISTAKE” and “GAVE CLASSIFIED INFORMATION”

The room goes dark.

Then a final message appears:

OBAMA RESPONDS TO TRUMP: “I saw no evidence during my presidency.”

The puzzle asks: Why issue a clarification?

□ Obama accidentally revealed something sensitive

□ The government may know more than it says publicly

□ The public is very interested in Obama’s acknowledgement of aliens

□ All of the Above

You choose: ALL OF THE ABOVE

A voice replies:

Some people saw a clarification.

Some people saw a retreat.

Some people saw a warning.

The challenge is determining which interpretation fits the evidence.

The final vault begins to open.

The giant steel door slowly opens.

Inside are all the clues gathered in one place.

Ancient civilizations.

Revelation.

Jimmy Carter.

Eisenhower.

Laura Eisenhower.

Thor.

Paul Hellyer.

Congressional UAP hearings.

Ronald Reagan.

J.D. Vance.

Barack Obama.

Donald Trump.

A giant red button appears.

It asks: What is Disclosure Day really about?

□ Aliens

□ Government secrecy

□ Religion

□ Curiosity

□ Humanity’s search for answers

□ All of the Above

You press: ALL OF THE ABOVE

The room goes silent.

A spotlight appears.

In the center of the vault is… a mirror.

Beneath it are the words: The final clue was never in the sky.

It was the person trying to understand it.

ESCAPE SUCCESSFUL.

MY DISCLOSURE DAY REVIEW

Most alien films try to tell you what to think. Disclosure Day does something more interesting.

It hands viewers a collection of experiences and invites them to wrestle with them. Secret organizations. Telepathy. Stunning video of military encounters. Spiritual interpretations. Political debates. The film moves through questions that have fascinated humanity for thousands of years without pretending every part of the mystery has a simple answer.

Some viewers will leave Spielberg’s film surprised. Others will leave affirmed. Some will remain skeptical. Most will probably leave somewhere in between. What impressed me most was not whether the story of two abductees ultimately succeeded, but that the film managed to capture something increasingly rare in modern life: wonder.

It reminded me that curiosity is one of humanity’s oldest instincts. Long before governments, podcasts, documentaries, and congressional hearings, people stood beneath the stars asking the same question we still ask today: What is out there?

And perhaps an even deeper question: If the answer arrived tomorrow, would we recognize it? How would it change our understanding of ourselves? Would a true Disclosure Day make religion obsolete… or make it more important than ever?

Like any great escape room, Disclosure Day is ultimately less about finding answers than discovering which questions are worth asking. Whether you believe the phenomenon is extraterrestrial, spiritual, psychological, or something we have yet to imagine, Spielberg reminds us that mystery still has power.

I left the theater with more questions than answers. And I suspect that was exactly the point.
