They walk among us: 1 in 5 believe in aliens?


SINGAPORE | Thu Apr 8, 2010 1:01pm EDT

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Aliens exist and they live in our midst disguised as humans -- at least, that's what 20 percent of people polled in a global survey believe.

The Reuters Ipsos poll of 23,000 adults in 22 countries showed that more than 40 percent of people from India and China believe that aliens walk among us disguised as humans, while those least likely to believe in this are from Belgium, Sweden and the Netherlands (8 percent each).

However, the majority of people polled, or 80 percent, don't believe aliens in our midst.

"It would appear that that there's a modest correlation between the most populated countries and those more likely to indicate there may be aliens disguised amongst them compared with those countries with the smaller populations," said John Wright, Senior Vice President of market research firm Ipsos.

"Maybe the it's a simple case that in a less populated country you are more likely to know your next door neighbor better," he said.

More men than women -- 22 percent vs 17 percent -- believe that alien beings are on earth.

Most of those believers are under the age of 35, and across all income classes, the survey showed. Of those who do not believe, most are women.

Most of those believers are under the age of 35, and across all income classes, the survey showed. Of those who do not believe, most are women.

I think this is due to over 5 decades (two generations) of "disclosure" disguised as cultural assimilation via popular "science fiction".

I think it is also due to the fact that certain governments like Thailand and Peru openly admit to their citizens that aliens do exist and treat it as a matter of fact while others desperately try to keep it secret.
