In the United States, the percentage of people who believe UFO sightings offer proof of alien life increased from 20 percent in 1996 to 34 percent as of 2022, with 24 percent of Americans saying they’ve seen a UFO. A new paper argues, uh, that’s all getting to be a little much, and something that used to be a quirk is now developing into a legitimate societal problem. Beliefs in conspiratorial cover-ups are on the rise, with 68 percent of Americans telling Gallup in 2019 that they thought the government knows more about UFOs than it’s saying. One cause? Well, the History channel has been airing Ancient Aliens for 20 seasons and has racked up 13.8 million YouTube subscribers in the process, so, there’s that?
