OPINION POLL

A new national poll found that more than half (56 percent) of respondents said that they believe UFOs are real.

• Two-thirds (67 percent) responded that they believe that there are other forms of intelligent life in the universe.

• Almost half (48 percent) of respondents believe that UFOs have visited Earth in some form.

• More than half (53 percent) would like to encounter extraterrestrial life forms here on Earth.

• More than one in three believe that humans have already interacted with extraterrestrial life forms.

• One in seven said that they or someone they know has had some type of experience involving a UFO.

• For 88 percent, an official announcement confirming the discovery of extraterrestrial life would have no effect on their religious beliefs.

• Almost three-fourths (74 percent) responded that they are at least somewhat psychologically prepared for such an announcement. More than four in 10 (42 percent) say that they are very prepared.
