In this episode of Should This Have Happened?, hosts Nathan "Tater" Salyer and Rob McCallum put Disclosure Day on trial. Exploring the worlds of UFOs, extraterrestrial life, government secrecy, and humanity's fascination with the unknown, the film asks one of the biggest questions imaginable: What if the truth about alien visitation was finally revealed?

As part of the discussion, the hosts compare Disclosure Day to Close Encounters of the Third Kind, one of Steven Spielberg's most iconic films about first contact and humanity's connection to the unknown.

The hosts examine the documentary's themes, evidence, storytelling, and cultural impact while debating whether it stands alongside Spielberg's classic or falls short of its legacy. From eyewitness accounts and disclosure theories to the influence of science fiction and popular culture, no topic is off limits.
