Hollywood actor Henry Thomas, best known for his role as Elliott in Steven Spielberg’s 1982 classic E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, believes that extraterrestrial life exists and that governments around the world will soon unveil information about visitors from other galaxies.
In a recent interview, Thomas, now 53, shared his fascination with UFOs and unexplained phenomena, including abduction stories, revealing his deep belief that humanity is not alone in the universe. "I’m very much a proponent for there is life out there and I don’t believe that it’s mathematically possible that we’re the only things in the universe", he said. "I do spend a fair amount of time on the internet looking at UAP and UFO phenomenon and people abduction stories and things. I’m fascinated by it".
Thomas’s enthusiasm for the subject stems from both personal and professional experiences. As a child actor, he starred in one of the most beloved sci-fi films of all time, where his character befriends an alien. The role, in which he forms a bond with the otherworldly E.T., has continued to shape his worldview and fuel his curiosity about extraterrestrial life. "I actually saw something with my parents when I was almost five years old and it stuck with me for the rest of my life", Thomas shared. "So I’ve always had an interest in it".
A growing body of evidence surrounding UFOs and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) has captured the attention of many, including government officials and lawmakers. A prominent lawyer has already suggested that the US government is in possession of an alien spacecraft, complete with pilots, while some believe humanity may one day be able to “summon” UFOs through the power of thought alone.
Despite the often sensationalised nature of the topic, Thomas feels that governments are ready to release more information about extraterrestrial visitors. He pointed to the ongoing congressional hearings in the US, which have explored the issue of UFOs in recent months. "I mean there’s congressional hearings here so it feels like something’s coming", Thomas remarked. "But they keep doing the same old sleight of hand. 'We’re afraid to break this because it will disrupt the major religions' and all of this. But I think that we’re ready for it. I feel like we are".
Thomas even suggested that former US President Donald Trump may eventually follow through on his campaign promise to release classified UFO data. "Someone’s going to freak out. But that’s always the case, right?" he said, highlighting that a potential revelation might cause shockwaves around the globe.
While the idea of extraterrestrial life may still seem far-fetched to some, Thomas has a more optimistic view, imagining a scenario in which the first contact is as warm and welcoming as it was depicted in E.T.. "It would be nice, wouldn’t it, if it was a benevolent force and it would be very, very wonderful," he said. "So it’s a great dream. I just hope that they tell us what they know".
The actor’s continued interest in UFOs is also rooted in his own early experiences. At just four years old, he and his parents reportedly witnessed an unexplained aerial event that he has never forgotten. This moment has remained a defining memory for him, one that has inspired a lifelong curiosity about the mysteries of the cosmos.
Thomas is not alone in his beliefs. The UFO phenomenon has sparked widespread interest in recent years, with numerous government disclosures and reports emerging globally. While the subject has historically been shrouded in secrecy, the recent shift in attitude suggests that the truth may be closer than ever.
As to what humanity might learn when the truth finally comes out, Thomas remains hopeful that it will be a discovery that unites rather than divides. The question remains, however: will the revelation of extraterrestrial life prove to be the breakthrough that brings us closer together, or will it lead to widespread panic and uncertainty?
Only time will tell, but for Henry Thomas, it seems that the wait for the truth may soon be over.
