Claims made
Friedman and Zabel's episode reports that Spielberg's 'Disclosure Day' presents gray aliens as its entity frame — with a trailer that said the truth 'should not be held from the 7 billion people on Earth', a number changed to 8 billion in the released film — while the film omits Nordics, reptilians and every other corpus entity type.

Brent Friedman testified that on Orcas Island he encountered a tall, blonde, 'specimen'-like man in European clothes who greeted him by name from twenty feet away and 'spoke to me without opening his [mouth]' — and that locals describe a private compound where such 'tall white people' periodically stay.
