ET director Steven Spielberg, 76, believes aliens exist, and sightings have been covered up.
The movie maestro, who invented the world’s best-loved extraterrestrial and also directed Close Encounters Of Third Kind, said: “I don’t believe we’re alone in the universe.”
He said he found recent US Government disclosures of up to 510 real-life encounters between Top Gun military pilots and UFOs dating back 70 years “fascinating'”.

Many were “unexplainable” and indicated “there is something out there”, he coined.
But he moaned information about sightings of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena – or UADs – had been suppressed by governments determined to hush them up.

Spielberg admitted he was frustrated by the “secrecy that is shrouding all of these sightings and the lack of transparency” until the freedom of information laws compelled the release of video footage and eyewitness accounts.
“I think that there is something going that simply needs extraordinary due diligence,” he said.
Adding: “I would like to hear more about it. I do not know what they are.”

The filmmaker, who won best director Oscars for Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan, told US TV’s The Late Show With Stephen Colbert he could only be certain UFOs existed by having his own close encounter.
“I think it’s mathematically impossible that we are the only intelligent species in the cosmos. That’s totally impossible,” he said.
“It is exciting. There is something out there. I do not know if I am a believer in the sense I am the kind of person that would think I have got to see something like that to believe it.”

He added: “I can make up stuff and make movies about things I have never seen or experienced. That is fine. In terms of really believing something, I would have to have my own close encounter.
“I have never seen a UFO. I wish I did. I have never seen anything I could not explain. But I believe certain people who have seen things they cannot explain. That is unexplainable.
“I think what has been coming out recently is fascinating.”
Spielberg said he found it mind-blowing to contemplate aliens travelling to Earth.

He said: “It almost seems impossible that anybody would visit us from 400 million light years from here except in the movies – unless it figures out some way of basically jumping the shark and getting here through wormholes.”
“I am not an astrophysicist. I really cannot speak the language. But I just know as a person who makes movies, uses his imagination and also a person that is insatiably curious about UFOs or UAPs, that there is something going on that really is not being disclosed to us.”
