Our survey of 2,000 Americans asked people whether recent UFO or UAP news coverage has changed their opinion on the topic and found that 37% now believe more than they used to.
More than half (54%) say their opinion on extraterrestrials has not changed and 10% say it’s actually made them believe less, according to the research findings.
News coverage on UFOs or UAPs seems more likely to move younger generations towards belief — 54% of Gen Z have increased their belief due to recent news stories, with the impact falling with age.
