UFO fever grips America: Daily Mail poll shows nearly 40% of people think aliens have
More than seven in 10 Americans believe the Biden administration is withholding information about UFOs, a DailyMail.com poll has revealed.
And nearly four in 10 think that Earth has been visited by aliens from another planet in the past fifty years, according to the survey.
We put several UFO-themed questions to 1,000 voters following a series of unprecedented Congressional hearings and a NASA investigation into unidentified craft flying in our skies.
More than four in 10 respondents said they would feel safer if Donald Trump were President of the US if aliens were to invade Earth, while a third said they would feel safer under Joe Biden. The rest were unsure.
DailyMail.com asked 1,000 US voters about UFOs. More than 40 percent believe the Biden administration is withholding information about aliens
DailyMail.com also asked respondents if aliens attacked Earth, who do they think we would be safer under, Joe Biden or Donald Trump?
J.L Partners conducted the poll from September 15 through 20, asking questions to Americans by phone, text and in its dedicated app.
Participants ranged in age from 18 to over 65. Scarlett Maguire, Director at JLP, said: ‘Biden’s approval rating isn’t the only thing that has fallen to Earth recently.
‘Only four in 10 Americans believe recent reports of UFOs are human in origin, and just one in four rule out extra-terrestrials having visited in the last 50 years.
‘And, perhaps unsurprisingly, for a demographic that embraces astrology, 18-29-year-old women are one of the groups most likely to think we have already had a close encounter of the third kind.’
‘As with crime and the economy, the public’s trust in the Biden administration’s handling of UFOs doesn’t survive first contact.
‘Even Democrats don’t believe they have been told everything about UFOs. And when Mars attacks, there is only one man in town to save the day: more Americans – including independents – would choose Trump over Biden to defend them.’
When asked about the recent strange sightings by US Navy pilots, a total of 27 percent said they were ‘probably alien in origin.’
A 41 percent majority said the strange flying objects were of human origin, and 32 percent said they did not know.
However, males, Black voters, non-graduates and Republicans were among the highest groups to believe the sightings were extraterrestrial in origin.
The poll revealed that more Americans than not believe the Biden Administration is withholding information about UFOs.
More than 66 percent of Republicans answered ‘definitely’, compared to just 22 percent of Democrats.
Another question revealed that more Americans than not believe aliens have visited Earth in the last 50 years
DailyMail.com also asked respondents if aliens attacked Earth, who do they think we would be safer under, Joe Biden or Donald Trump.
Forty-three percent voted for Trump, 32 percent said Biden and 25 percent gave ‘don’t know’ as their answer.
Every age, race, education level and political party chose Trump.
Trump appeared on the ‘Hugh Hewitt’ podcast this month, where he said he was briefed on UFOs during his presidency.
The former president explained how he spoke with ‘a couple of people from the Air Force’ who experienced strange objects in the sky.
When asked if he believes in them, Trump responded: ‘I have, I always have an open mind.’
Biden has steered clear of the topic in interviews.
In 2021, the president was asked about Barak Obama’s statements that there is footage and records of objects in the sky — these unidentified aerial phenomena – but said he does not know what they are.
Biden responded: ‘I would ask him again.’
However, earlier this year, he announced an interagency group to look into unidentified objects in US airspace.
White House National Security Spokesman John Kirby, who briefed reporters in February, announced the formation of the inquiry team.

‘The president, through his national security adviser, has today directed an interagency team to study the broader policy implications for detection, analysis and disposition of unidentified aerial objects that pose either safety or security risks,’ Kirby said.
He explained that the team will include ‘every element’ of the government and stressed its formation was intended to ‘redouble’ the United States’ efforts to understand and, hopefully, prevent incidents with what he described as ‘high-altitude, low-speed craft.’
In another video, released via FOIA by US Customs and Border Protection, yet another apparent orb can be seen hovering near a parked 16-wheeler truck
A tranche of UFO videos, including some never-before-seen, were quietly released by the US Customs and Border Protection, the agency responsible for keeping terrorists and their weapons out of the country.
The agency uploaded 10 videos showing craft moving strangely in our skies.
The videos were released on August 9 without warning, a press release or much in the way of context, only to be discovered by UFO enthusiasts and online investigators last week.
The videos document a fighter jet pursued by a baffling flying orb, as well as something that appears to be a propeller-powered hang-glider and yet another apparent floating orb, hovering this time near a parked 16-wheeler truck.
But the enigmatic nature of the drop — which offered little detail regarding the times and locations of these sightings, plus more than a few sweeping redactions — has left more questions than answers.
