Hello everyone, I'm Gene Park, a culture critic at The Washington Post. First of all, thank you to the mods for allowing me to post on this subreddit. To be transparent, I am a tourist parachuting into the UAP discourse, but I am a huge fan of Spielberg and am excited for Disclosure Day, so that is the root of my interest at the moment. But I'm interested in doing a story about how discussions and discourse around UFOs and UAPs is shifting during this moment with a high profile Hollywood movie from a legendary director arriving to spotlight the issue, while the Trump administration is teasing releasing files. I also see the current outrage against the Aliens.gov baiting too. I'd love to get a temperature check on how UFO discussions have looked over the years, and whether these recent developments have grown or strengthened or changed the community in any way! Again, I'm definitely not someone involved in the community beyond a general broad and personal interest in aliens and UFOs, and I promise I come in good faith and I'm here mostly to listen, and perhaps ask for followup interviews with anyone you might recommend (including yourselves!). Thanks all! Edit: If you would like to talk to me off the subreddit, I'm at [gene.park@washpost.com](mailto:gene.park@washpost.com) submitted by /u/GenePark [link] [comments]
