UFO (2018)

Derek (Alex Sharp) a brilliant college student, haunted by a childhood UFO sighting, believes that mysterious sightings reported at multiple airports across the United States are UFO's. With the help of his girlfriend, Natalie (Ella Purnell), and his advanced mathematics professor, Dr. Hendricks (X-Files' Gillian Anderson), Derek races to unravel the mystery with FBI special agent Franklin Ahls (David Strathairn) on his heels.
There is a combination of things going on that are relevant to what is happening now.  One is that people who believe in extraterrestrial intelligent life are marginalized and they keep their thoughts secret.  The other is that the government does a mammoth job to suppress knowledge of the truth. There are some lessons that relate to the current pandemic to be found, where there is misinformation being propagated by the federal government, which impairs the public's ability to trust them.
