Five facts about Americans and their beliefs regarding extraterrestrial life, based on various surveys and polls:
In a 2021 survey conducted by Gallup, 33% of Americans expressed a belief that "some form of non-human intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe." This is the highest percentage of believers since Gallup began asking the question in 1966.
The same Gallup survey found that 60% of Americans believe that the U.S. government is withholding information about extraterrestrial life from the public.
In a 2019 survey by Pew Research Center, 65% of Americans said they think that intelligent life exists on other planets.
According to a 2020 survey by Ipsos, 57% of Americans said they believe that the government knows more about UFOs than they are letting on.
A 2021 survey by YouGov found that 18% of Americans believe that extraterrestrial beings have visited Earth in the past.
It's important to note that beliefs regarding extraterrestrial life can vary greatly depending on the survey question and methodology used. These statistics provide a general sense of Americans' beliefs about aliens, but they should not be taken as definitive or representative of all individuals' views on the subject.
