Need to Know Live

The video of the Contact in the Desert live Need to Know show with Ross Coulthart and Bryce Zabel has been published. It was great to be there in the audience. I never got the chance to meet Ross and talk to him, but I did Bryce. He knows me vaguely from past conferences. I provide a full review of the performance in the Ben in the Desert 2 HPANWO TV reportage. At 1.08 you can hear me ask my question; although the sound quality is not very good.

Bryce is the Hollywood expert of course, but despite his rejection of my point, I still do wonder why this is the first time I personally have seen such activity from the big screen industry. Steven Spielberg's new movie even has an IMDB page, see: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15047880/. The moment Spielberg came up with the idea, he and David Koepp announced a release date, before a single frame had turned over. They also told us the first working title "The Dish" and the second "Disclosure". We also now have a cast list that includes some big stars like Emily Blunt and Colin Firth. There have been official press releases and public location shoots with clips and photos. I find it especially interesting because I have a twentieth anniversary special edition DVD of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and there is a bonus feature of Spielberg. In this interview he says "I could not make Close Encounter today", ie 1997, because he has lost his interest in UFO's. Obviously something has happened since then that has rekindled his passion. What is it? Does he know something we don't? Why all this premature hype over this work in progress? Ron James, another filmmaker and MUFON director, said, also at Contact in the Desert, that he thinks the reason for all this furore is that the film itself is going to be an instrumental part of controlled Disclosure. What he predicts is that the new film will include some real UFO footage and at the end there will be an announcement that the government knows it is really non-human and this is their moment to tell us all. If that's the case no wonder Spielberg is so thrilled; and no wonder they can't resist giving us all clues in advance, obviously with the studio's approval. This will elevate him from a very talented and accomplished film director into a revolutionary historical hero. Bryce says he will be first in the cinema queue to see it; well I will be the second.
