Are unidentified flying objects aliens?

A recent poll shows that the percentage of Americans who believe UFOs are aliens has increased in the last 53 years. What do you think: Have some unidentified flying objects been alien spacecraft visiting Earth from other planets or galaxies, or can all UFO sightings be explained by human activity on Earth or natural phenomena?

For me I was always open to UAP, but never had been an experiencer and had no ‘proof’. After retirement I started to watch Skinwalker Ranch, which lead me to read books, watch podcasts and listen to interviews especially Ross Coulthart on NewsNation. I’m now a believer and gone through a bit of ontological shock. Of course not all cases are legit, however Colares, African school children, Varginia/Brazil convinced me. There is too much associated information, too many experiencers… So many 20th century discoveries, kevlar, fiber optics, space travel and the numerous UAP/USO observables, abductions >NHI. Maybe they are extraterrestrials, extratempestrials, interdimensionals??? We have much to learn!! I dont think they necessarily have our best interests, but they haven't taken us out so far. Like with AI our future is unfolding now… I prefer knowing the truth asap

If aliens are so smart and resourceful that they can reach our planet, for me it is hard to imagine they choose not to communicate, attack, eat, or whatever they feel like. In addition, our sight and other sensory systems are notoriously erratic and unreliable.

Although the question of what UFOs are remains unanswered, we need more smoking- gun evidences to conclude it’s alien.

An alien society with the technology to cross interstellar distances surely has better things to do with its time and resources than playing peek-a-boo with Earthlings.

For most of my life I always thought that humans may be the only intelligent beings in the universe because we see no evidence of alien civilizations and the path to intelligence requires a very rare and improbable chain of evolutionary events. However, I did experience an encounter with a UFO that was eerie, uncanny and totally unexplainable by any possible atmospheric condition, atmospheric occurrence or known flying object.

They are ours and theirs..

Natural phenomena. As children, we called them “ginkies” or more completely, “ginkies from outer space”.

No way! First life that evolve to advanced space traveling levels are without doubt extremely rare. Second interstellar travel must be extremely dificult and propably non existent

I suspect the UFOs are not from this universe since their behavior is sometimes inconsistent with our laws of physics.

High concentrations of sightings showed aliens were looking and studying English speaking areas.

I actually saw an unexplained flying object way back in 1972. I was in a car with 4 other people. As we drove by a field we saw this large object hovering above a strand of trees. It had a ring of large rectangular lights on the rim. There was also a single light on top illuminating the clouds directly above. It was eerily silent. We stopped the car and all 5 of us ran toward it. Then it quietly went straight up into the clouds. We knew it wasn't a helicopter because of its shape and lack of sound. We were astounded. When we got back to the house some of us drew a picture of what we saw and they matched, as did our recountings of what we saw. The next day I called the police and asked if anyone else had reported something similar in the area and they said no. What was it? I don't know but I now believe that "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

Intelligence from another galaxy has not be proven to me yet. The most convincing arguments are ancient artifacts from civilizations here which demonstrate high engineering knowledge then decline.

Certainly. Inhabitants of outer space

As much as I'd love it to be true there is simply no way UFOs are 'alien craft'. Interstellar distances are just too big for it to be inhumanly possible...

Of course not! But you will never convince someone who just wants to believe.

Anyone interested in this should read the parts of Urantia book on other life in the cosmos, others are out there according to this book, really puts thing in perspective. FYI

Just another example of the dumbing down of America.
