A new survey found that 63 percent of American adults — including 83 percent of people who think there is definitely life on other planets — think that the U.S. government knows more about UFOs than it’s telling the public, compared to just 11 percent who said that the government has told the public everything it knows. That said, while UFOs are often associated with hypothetical alien spacecraft in the popular imagination, the term itself is deliberately ambiguous in no small part due to decades of technological and aeronautical skullduggery between espionage-loving superpowers. All told, 32 percent of respondents said that UFOs are always the result of human of other terrestrial activity, another 32 percent said that they might be the result of alien spacecraft visiting Earth, and 36 percent were not sure. That said, 18 percent of respondents said that they themselves have seen something they thought was a UFO. I for one am exhausted by these senseless and useless conspiracy theories, and now if you’ll excuse me, I have to resume clicking the Kate Middleton trending topic and spread conspiracies about the British monarchy, just as my ancestors would have wanted.
