The topic of extraterrestrial life is not alien to Steven Spielberg.
The celebrated filmmaker has famously explored it throughout his career, whether it be in Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, E.T., War Of The Worlds or Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Through these films, Spielberg has shaped the imagination of generations of cinemagoers by presenting thrilling scenarios of what first contact might look like.
His latest film, Disclosure Day, also focuses on aliens - specifically on a whistleblower who races against the clock to unveil a conspiracy by the government to keep knowledge of extra-terrestrials under wraps.
Fox Mulder would be proud.
Ahead of its release in cinemas this week, Spielberg was asked by CBS News whether he believes aliens have been to Earth.
