Going by the latest trailer, Disclosure Day revisits the extraterrestrial life debate as it seemingly revolves around mankind getting close to the existence of aliens.

The trailer clip opens with a news anchor reporting on a "threat to publicly release government material, long shrouded in secrecy." O'Connor's character is seen on a mission to disclose the same material, presumably proof that aliens are real. He is seen showing something mysterious to others at one point, after which they ask, "Are they people?"

“No,” he answers.

The rest of the trailer remains mostly cryptic. However, it offers a sneak peek into some thrilling action sequences, including a scene where a moving car collides and gets dragged by a goods train. In another scene, what seemed like a spaceship emerged through the clouds.

“If you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? This summer, the truth belongs to seven billion people. We are coming close to … Disclosure Day,” read the official description of the film on YouTube.
