Steven Spielberg Drops Bizarre UFO Conspiracy That Aliens Could Be Time-Traveling Earthlings

Film director Steven Spielberg knows a thing or two about extraterrestrials — he did, after all, direct the 1982 blockbuster “E.T.”

And he knows a thing or two about UFOs — he did, after all, direct “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”

According to J. Alan Hynek, Ohio State University astronomer, a “close encounter” is when someone spots something in the sky that doesn’t leave any evidence. “The Second Kind: A UFO leaves some physical trace: burns on the ground or broken branches,” WYTV reported. “The Third Kind: You make contact with a U.F.O, you see some alien pilot aboard one or other life form.”

People experience close encounters of the first kind all the time — even more, it seems, nowadays. Spielberg also has theories on UFOs, extraterrestrials.

“I’ve never seen a UFO,” Spielberg stated in an interview that “The Late Show with Steven Colbert,” according The Sun. “I wish I had! I’ve never seen anything I can’t explain. But I believe certain people who have seen things that they can’t explain.”

“I think what has been coming up recently is fascinating, absolutely fascinating. And I think the secrecy that is shrouding all of these sightings and the lack of transparency… I think there is something going on that just needs extraordinary due diligence,” The director said so.

Spielberg pontificalized about interstellar living.

“I don’t believe we’re alone in the universe. I think it’s mathematically impossible that we are the only intelligent species in the cosmos. I think that’s totally impossible. At the same time, it also seems impossible that someone would visit us from 400 million lightyears from here — except in the movies, of course — unless it figures out some way of jumping the shark, so to speak, and getting here through wormholes,” Spielberg stated.

Spielberg isn’t convinced that any creature in the universe can yet master faster-than-light traveling, but the possibility that human beings could be able to figure out time travel seems more plausible. Then, he offered an alternative theory.

“The most optimistic thing I feel about these things we see in the skies, that the Army and Navy and Air Force are recording on their gun cameras, is that what if they’re not from an advanced civilization 300 million lightyears from here?” He said. “What if it’s us, 500,000 years in the future, that is coming back to document the second half of the 20th century and into the 21st century because they’re anthropologists? And they know something we don’t quite know yet that has occurred, and they’re trying to track the last hundred years of our history.”

Colbert jumps in to mention that Spielberg believed humanity could have lived for at least 500,000 more years.

“Yes, we survive,” He said. “Or at least a certain percentage of us survives that allows future generations to flourish.”
