Do you believe?

Surveys show that nearly half of Americans believe that aliens have visited the Earth, either in the ancient past or recently. That percentage has been increasing. Belief in alien visitation is greater than belief that Bigfoot is a real creature, but less than belief that places can be haunted by spirits.

Now I know where I'm going wrong! I don't smoke and I don't have a dog! lol

Also, the fact that most sightings happen on Friday nights after people have been 'relaxing' with a drink in hand, highlights how we should take witness accounts with a pinch of salt. 

This:

So no, I don’t think belief in UFOs is crazy, because some flying objects are unidentified, and the existence of intelligent aliens is scientifically plausible.

But a study of young adults did find that UFO belief is associated with schizotypal personality, a tendency toward social anxiety, paranoid ideas and transient psychosis. If you believe in UFOs, you might look at what other unconventional beliefs you have.

Wow...


Great article, thank you for sharing!

No worries

I just find it mind boggling to think we are the only intelligent beings in this vast space. Although it may not be impossible I suppose.

I don't think we are alone. I think we have never been visited.
