According to a survey from the National Geographic Channel, more than 80 million Americans are certain that UFOs exist. Many, the survey says, believe aliens have landed on Earth and think that government officials are involved in covering up paranormal activities.
65% of Americans think Barack Obama would be better suited than fellow presidential candidate Mitt Romney to handle an alien invasion, according to the poll. And more younger citizens, ages 18 to 64 years, than those aged 65+ (68% vs. 50%) think Romney would not be as well-suited as Obama to handle an alien invasion.
35% of Americans believe UFOs exist and 11% are confident that they have spotted a UFO, and one in five know someone who claims to have seen one.
Most citizens say they would not mind a minor alien invasion, because they expect these space-age visitors to be friendly—like the lovable character depicted in Steven Spielberg's popular film "E.T."
