NEW YORK — Steven Spielberg’s latest extraterrestrial feature, “Disclosure Day,” is getting an out-of-this-world installation this week in lower Manhattan.

The “E.T.” director’s hotly anticipated return to form arrives in theaters June 12, ahead of which, a thousand red origami cardinals will pop up at “key locations” across the country Wednesday, as advance tickets go on sale.

Among those three locales is Brookfield Place on Vessey Street, where “100 of the origami birds will contain unique Fandango codes for two free tickets to see the film,” according to a release from Universal Pictures.

The installation, which will also fly the prop birds to Kansas City — where the meteorologist played by Emily Blunt is based in the film — and Los Angeles, will take place in New York from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The film stars Josh O’Connor as a cybersecurity administrator who goes missing after stealing government secrets that shed light on aliens — or at least, that’s what the trailer suggests, as does the tagline: “This summer, the truth belongs to eight billion people.”

In addition to O’Connor and Blunt, the film — written by Spielberg and David Koepp — also stars Eve Hewson, Colman Domingo, and Colin Firth.

Though he’s dabbled in helming sci-fi in recent years, three-time Oscar winner Spielberg has not directed an out-and-out alien feature since 2005’s “War of the Worlds.” That followed “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and, most memorably, “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.”
