While it comes as no surprise to me that people take the piss out of polls and surveys, it’s interesting to see just how many people will do it.

    Ok but seriously, when controlling for people being trolls or believing anything they still got 15% of people believing a government conspiracy to cover up aliens visiting earth?

      There’s a very common belief that an alien spacecraft crashed in the states back in the fifties, or even that the US government restored it to working order and flew it.

      I suspect this belief was encouraged by the government at the time, but it’s a very common belief.
