From friendly visitors to hostile conquerors, his portrayals of extraterrestrials are wide and varied, inspiring generations of children who grew up watching them.

But what does Spielberg himself believe when it comes to the possibility of aliens visiting the Earth ?

Speaking to CBS News recently, he revealed that he was particularly open to the idea."Based on the circumstantial evidence of everything that I've gathered throughout my whole life, everybody I've listened to and every documentary I've ever watched and all the testimonies in Congress that I've heard, I absolutely think that they have been here, and they are here," he said.

"And who knows, maybe they've always been here."

The director also noted, however, that despite being an "ambassador" to aliens through his movies, he hadn't actually encountered any extraterrestrials himself.

"I deserved a sighting," he said. "And I need a sighting. I mean, I'm an ambassador of these guys and they haven't shown themselves to me. I don't get that."
