Hi everyone and welcome back to that UFO podcast. My name is Andy and this is a news update for the end of December 2025.

To cover you as you head into the Christmas and New Year period, there is a lot happening. There's lots of news items to touch on some interesting quotes from some of the big names, some new projects being announced

by some folks that are definitely going to impact in 2026. And I'll run through what's been making

noise and stop along the way to give some of my own thoughts. And towards the end, I'm going to

let you know some of the shows and interviews coming up between now and new year. There'll be plenty

of fresh content in the next 7 to 10

days over that holiday period whether you're working, whether you're not working, everything in

between to keep you entertained, informed and going. So yeah, and up front, I'll let you know

again at the end. I'm doing signed copies of my book as cheap as possible as well, given there's some good offers on right now on Amazon. If you're in the UK, the book's less than half price. It's like £9. And if you're on Amazon Prime, the postage is free. And in the United States, it's like 25% off. But I'll let you know that at the end. We're going to get into the news. And I have to

start, of course, with the big cultural UFO news right now. Stephen Spielberg's Disclosure Day trailer

dropped very recently and the reaction has been huge. I covered the trailer in the last news update.

Thanks to everyone for checking that one out. If you've not shared your thoughts on it yet,

please drop those over. I'll need those for the end of year show that I'll be doing with some

special guests. But listen, within days, the trailer has amassed 22 million views on YouTube

alone. That's just the official trailer on YouTube. Forget all the other sites which are showing

the trailer into the millions of

views. All the social media people sharing it as well at some of the huge places like IGN,

Rotten Tomatoes. I follow quite a lot of kind of movie influencers and podcasts and stuff like that.

And they're all sharing it as well. and it gets hundreds of thousands and millions of

views lots of engagement so entertainment media sci-fi outlets UFO circles of course all jumping all over

this what's interesting isn't just the numbers to me it's who is engaging with it as well and I suppose

similar to those who followed age of disclosureclosure, it got a lot of mainstream
