A recent Ipsos poll reveals that more than six in ten
Americans believe there is life on other planets. While a majority (57%) think there is intelligent life
and civilizations on other planets, 26% of Americans believe that alien societies, if they exist, would
be similar to human societies. Moreover, nearly half (45%) agree that UFOs exist and have visited
the Earth, and more than one third (37%) say that humans will create permanent outer space
colonies within the next 80 years.
This poll on U.S. political matters includes a single question on the UAP topic.: Do you believe government hides UFO information. The image links to the News Nation article, the link to polling data goes to Decision Desk Data.

Eldadi, Tenenbaum and Loeb surveyed 6,114 highly educated and scientifically engaged individuals (77.60% bachelor’s degree+; 67.99% high-to-very-high scientific engagement) to assess their beliefs about extraterrestrial intelligent life existence
Have we established the first contact yet? 37% of Americans believe U.S. scientists or officials have made contact with aliens already, and 43% believe we are on the brink of breaking through to our extraterrestrial neighbors. There’s a lot of faith in how the government is handling our potential overlords, too, as 3 in 5 Americans say the government is taking UFOs and aliens just seriously enough.
