Disclosure Day (2026)

Today, the 79-year campaign of terror and lies FINALLY comes to an end! At long last, we are returning to outer space with Steven Spielberg for what will probably be his final statement on UFO disclosure. Listen!

Sure, it may be Spielberg’s most personal science fiction movie…but did we really need to go this deep with Grandpa Steve? Does he actually spend time on the Experiencers Subreddit? Was this movie ever actually called “The Dish”? We’ll do our best to answer these questions and more!

Next week, we return to our Mission: Impossible miniseries for THE FINAL RECKONING (2025). Join the conversation on our Discord at discord.com/invite/RssDc3brsx and get more Eye of the Duck on our Patreon show, After Hours patreon.com/EyeoftheDuckPod
