Most Americans say it is very likely or somewhat likely that humans are not alone in the universe and that intelligent life exists on other planets.Only a third of adults, however, believe it's either very likely or somewhat likely that intelligent aliens from space have visited our planet, according to a survey of 1,003 adults conducted by Scripps Howard News Service and Ohio University. The poll revealed that one in every 12 Americans has seen a mysterious object in the sky that might have been a visitor from another world, while nearly one in every five personally knows someone who has seen an unidentified flying object.America's fascination with UFO sightings has been robust, dating at least back to 1947 with the discovery of unusual objects near Roswell, N.M., that many claimed were the remnants of an extraterrestrial craft that crashed.Among the ranks who have seen something strange in the sky are former President Jimmy Carter, the late Beatle John Lennon and the late comedian Jackie Gleason.One of the largest mass sightings on record -- the so-called "Phoenix Lights" that hovered for several hours over two or three Southwestern states on March 13, 1997 -- was even seen by then-Arizona Gov. Fife Symington. The governor at first made jokes about the incident, but later apologized for making light of something that thousands of people saw."The universe is a big place," Symington told reporters last year. "We're conceited to think we're alone."At least one of the participants in the poll saw the strange, slowly floating lights over Phoenix."Maybe it was a military thing; I don't know," said Fran Chodacki, 62, of Page, Ariz. "Everything is mysterious in this world. It's a possibility."She is among the 56 percent of adults in the poll who believe it is very likely or somewhat likely that intelligent life exists on other worlds. The survey found that 35 percent said extraterrestrials are unlikely and 9 percent are uncertain.Men, young adults and college-educated Americans are more likely than most to believe that humans are not alone in the universe. The survey found some patterns in the kinds of people who have reported having seen UFOs. Men are almost twice as likely to have seen something peculiar in the sky than are women. Older Americans are much more likely than younger people to have seen something, as are residents of rural areas or suburbs rather than those living in major cities. People living in Western states are three times more likely to have seen a UFO than are residents of the Northeast, Midwest or South.UFO experts agree that these trends all make sense. Men are more likely than women to be outdoors on a dark night. Older Americans have had more opportunities simply by virtue of a longer life to see something unusual in the sky.It is also logical, they say, for people in Western states to have seen more UFOs than people in other regions. Most of the nation's largest and most expensive observatories are located in the West, which provides optimal views of the sky."These people have had more opportunities than others to see things in a darkened sky. That makes sense," said Mark Rodeghier, director of the Chicago-based J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies.Peter Davenport, director of the National UFO Reporting Center in Seattle, Wash., agreed."Of course, we get lots of reports from major cities," Davenport said. "But it could be that people in rural areas have a better view of the sky. People in cities are blinded by all of the bright lights."But the experts were quite surprised by other trends found among the UFO witnesses.People who have attended church recently and who identify themselves as born-again Evangelical Protestants are much less likely to have seen UFOs or to believe in the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence than people with little or no involvement with organized religion.People with strong political and ideological convictions -- self-identified "strong Republicans" and "very conservative" people as well as "strong Democrats" and "very liberal" persons -- are much less likely to report having seen a UFO than are politically moderate persons."There are just so many variables when addressing this issue," said Davenport. "But the religious trend is very, very interesting. Maybe you are more open to having seen things outside your experience if you don't have very tightly held religious beliefs."But why are people with strong political beliefs less likely to see UFOs?"They are more attuned to the establishment," said Rodeghier. "People who are in the establishment are more likely to have distain for the whole UFO issue. That's something those of us in the field of UFO study have seen over and over again. But people who are independent are more open to the issue."The survey was conducted by telephone at Ohio University's Scripps Survey Research Center from May 11-28. The poll was funded through a grant from the Scripps Howard Foundation.The overall survey has a margin of error of about 3 percentage points.(Thomas Hargrove is a reporter for Scripps Howard News Service.

Poll probes Americans' belief in UFOs, life on other planets

The Truth
There are over 4,000 trace cases associated with UFOs and many cases of UFOs displaying properties of technology not available as of yet to the human race. Remember all you need is one case to be true to prove that we are engaged with extra-terrestrials. The amount of evidence out there is incredibly overwhelming and I go could on forever talking about different cases. For anyone who is intelligent and open-minded, I will leave some links to very interesting and credible research done about certain events involving UFOs and ETs.

UFO Sighting
Since astronomers started to discover extraterrestrial planets around the stars the existence of other advanced civilizations in Universe became a reality. These advanced civilizations already are here on our planet. They use more than 100 spacecrafts , known as UFO, that are hovering the space of our Earth. For 6 month every day around the clock I see UFOs (from 15 to 50) hovering over my house at altitude 15-20 miles (Montvale, NJ). If you would like to see UFO with your own eyes (it does not matter whether you are a great scientist, politician, statesman, CIA or just ordinary person), please make reservation by email or by phone and I will show you not one but many UFO in the night sky one hour after sunset. When you choose me to be your UFO guide, I will tell you more details about UFO, based on my everyday experience with them for more than 6 month. For more information please visit my webpage

Do the research...
Once you start to look at the entire subject of Ufology and you do the requisite research into the topic, you soon discover the most amazing thing of all--there's just too much smoke for there not to be a fire. Every day in every country on the planet people from all walks of life are bearing witness to phenomena they cannot explain. This isn't localized, it's everywhere, ALL the time. Events are happening now (and have happened in the past) which cause even the most stalwart skeptics to feel uneasy. The media still wants to boil down Ufology to "believers" and "nonbelievers" when the reality is that belief has no role in the topic. FAA radar records are proof. Eyewitness testimony from career pilots is proof. Ex-military personnel who put their necks on the line for no financial gain is proof. Photos taken by law enforcement officials is proof. It's out there, you just have to spend the time to dig it up. The media only wants you to "believe" in UFO's when they've run out of other inane topics to report about. We at TheObjectReport.com are doing our part to promote global awareness of this subject.
Rosewell was the best cover up
Last night I saw a documentary on the Roswell incodent and it amazed me that the public back in the forties took a press release from a governemtn official that said ufo's exist then a week later they stated it was a weather balloon. I believe something is out there, but concrete proof is hard to come by or the government covers it up real nice. I did however hear a funny story on how a forklift driver in houston thought he was ubducted when it turned out he was scizophrenic.
Reply to Object Report
Very well stated. There really is a plume of evidentiary smoke out there that the probability of the fire really exists is almost certain.
Too bad that the majority of americans lump UFO enthusiasts and believers as crack pots, or worse. And to be fair, they are certainly out there, keeping the stereotype alive and well.
Will check out your website, thanks for the link.

UFO
No doubt that other advanced civilizations in universe do exist. סקס בלוג Pyramids in Egypt for example is one of many proofs.
You think that is proof?
A pile of rocks in the shape of a pyramid proves that there is extraterrestrial life on Earth? Jesus H Christ.
Woo easy there this isn't a whos right or whos wrong.
The pyramids are not just a pile of rocks. If you have researched how the pyramids where built you will find that alot of enginering went into it. Math equations that wern't even supposed to be discoverd at that time. What about the pictures of a grey type alien on the wall and the pictures of ufos, planes and helicopters that are painted on the wall that date back many thousands of years ago. Also what about the electricity that was generated and the great big light bulbs that were used to light the shafts. Of course they didn't teach you about this in elementary school because you would have asked to many questions. Like how come goerge washington didn't use this technology but a civilazation thousands of years old did. And to this day there is still much to be discovered there. So before you try to ridicule someones input I suggest you back up your point with evidence first.

You're an idiot
How can you call the Pyramids a pile of rocks? That's like saying the Mona Lisa is a splatter of paint, or the Great Wall is just a pickett fence. And the pyramids had a lot of technology that wasn't even discovered until much later put into it.
And if you don't think UFO's are real I suggest you open your eyes
Very Interesting
I found this article's findings interesting enough, the phoenix lights have already been explained and identified as flares. The pyramids on the other hand, there is some physical proof of not totally divine intervention, or just a highly advanced civilization...

I believe pyramids are the proof
The pyramid architecture is not explained and i believe it's the proof that there are some things still not explained.
