This story, clearly being buried by the main stream media because I only saw it months after it was published, obviously points to the REAL illegal alien problem we have. We must build a space fence NOW to keep them out! And off my lawn!@!
One-fifth of the world’s population believes that aliens walk among us, disguised as Homo sapiens for an unknown, but doubtless chilling purpose.
That’s according to a Reuters Ipsos poll, which probed 23,000 adults in 22 countries, and discovered that India is an epicentre of ET activity, with 45 per cent convinced the invasion has already begun.
The Chinese, too, clocked up a substantial 42 per cent of believers, followed by third-placed Japan with 29 per cent.
The Belgians, Dutch and Swedes are having none of it, bottoming out the list with a mere eight per cent. Blighty, meanwhile, scored 16 per cent – a figure perhaps artificially boosted by followers of David Icke.
The overall average of those saying yes, the lizard people have arrived, was 20 per cent, and while the 80 per cent who scoff at such claims is ostensibly heartening, it is of course possible they’re aliens themselves – in which case they would say that, wouldn’t they?
I do not believe anything without evidence.
Doesn’t everybody know this?
I was going to laugh at this until I saw the picture of Glenn Beck…that would explain a lot about “him”.
In other words, they watched too much V on television and now can’t tell fiction from reality. I cannot get enough of Morena Baccarin, but still I know it is fiction. No one that hot can be that evil in real life.
I love science fiction and stories about aliens. I even write science fiction and stories about aliens. However, I think the chances of there being aliens among us are slim. If there are aliens, they are probably on their own planet wondering if other intelligent beings exist.
People don’t seem to realize how far away alien planets are. The nearest star is 4.22 light years away. It has no planets. We can detect planets further and further out. Most systems have gas giants with weird orbits that would keep terrestrial planets from forming in the life zone of the star. That could be because those types of gas giants are easier for us to detect. but they rule out quite a bit of closer stars.
I doubt if Beck believes in us. He’s a numbers kind of guy which is why he doesn’t have any use for Obama because Obama claims things like spending a zillion with nothing to show is a great way to lower the national dept and expanding the number of federal employees is the way to fight unemployment.
He doesn’t like the Repubs because many of the ones in Congress are pure porkers who think spending a billion in their district that you don’t have on crap we often don’t need is a great way to run the country or more correctly to bleep with the country as long as they get elected. They don’t care if the country collapses ten years down the road any more than the Dims do.
We were worried about you guys expanding but after further study it isn’t going to happen. Right now Earth is on the to be colonized list after you terminate yourselves.
In other words we just wait. There’s no point in sending in the fleet.
With a number that high, I’m surprised some religious figure has not emerged to lead the spacesheeple.
Luckily DU readers have long since been alerted to the numerous threats, including the shockingly under-reported invasion of the Man-Bear-Pigs. One feels sorry for those poor souls who don’t use DU as their sole source of news.
Well, I guess the aliens don’t seem to think this planet is too bad.
Is this the same fifth that believes in angels?
Why that is absurd! I have a hard time believing that 1/5 of you tasty, tasty humans think there are aliens living amongst you…. I mean us, us of course.

“We got one who can see”
We’ve come here to do two things..Chew bubble gum and kick some a**… And we’re all out of gum…
Gawd I love “They Live”… It is how I’d invade if I was an advanced alien race.

#15, Yea. Someone should do a remake of “They Live”.
Just say “inception” and it’s great. If that movie could be made, with it’s complexity, then you would think someone could take on “They Live” with better actors and a real budget.
Great movie. Bad acting and low budget put it into the B movie list, BUT it has an A++ premise and reasonably good script.
“1/5th of you” is not quite the same as 20 percent overall. Let’s see…. John C Dvorak, KD Martin, hhopper, Uncle Dave, McCullough, Joe C, Marc Perkel, Eideard, Gasparrinni, Jacob Galt, honeyman… who did i forget? never mind, it’s 11 already. which begs for the question “which two?”
>> LDA said,
>> I do not believe anything without evidence.
It’ impossible to live that way… you’d have to spend all your waking hours just to find enough evidence to simply subsist.
My guess is that you live by faith a whole lot more than you understand.

Instinct is not faith. Hypothesis is not belief. I act based on current knowledge which is open to new evidence. I have access to evidence of most known animals, vegetables and minerals etc. so what are you suggesting?
7–Dallas==when did you start to intentionally pimp Pedro?
Pedro==when are you going to stop being pimped out?
Its a good meme though. Pedro – Donkeys – Sheeple. When times were more innocent and there were no Aliens.
Very encouraging for once to hear that the U.S. is not the epicenter of a particular brand of stupidity. We are for most others.
Ahhh Scott—its all how you phrase the question. What else is an Angel?
I need evidence of aliens to believe that they exist. The presence of aliens would not shake my belief system though. It would still take at least a hundred years just to communicate with the nearest ones via radio. No possible conversation with that lag.
I for one welcome our new anthropomorphic star voyager overlords.
I think that the most likely scenario is that we are being monitored by alien technology.

Crap! Close enough. You’re right. We’ve also got a zombie running around the country, according to a large number of people.

Most of them are Microsoft fans too, so obviously they just send the dumb ones here.
So is this the same 1/5th of us that are Space
Aliens?

Drifter!!!
…shh…
Silly Hoomans..
The real question should be:
Why did Reuters commission a global E.T. pole, now?
-second..why did a poll that was “news” in April, take 5 months to show up in this blog?
-third, my guess would be they want to see how many still have their heads stuck in the sand and/or still love the taste of spoon-fed BS they sell to the masses.
result: only 20% left to go..

Let’s see…
