Public Opinion Surveys and Unidentified Flying Objects: 50+ years of Sampling Public Opinions (PDF)
John F. Schuessler, International Director, MUFON (Mutual UFO Network)
Public opinion surveys fill an important need in business, politics, and advertising. For more than 50 years surveys of public opinions about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) have been conducted to satisfy a variety of customers. While the numbers have fluctuated from time to time, the general results of these surveys showed the public is:

• very aware of UFO sightings
• interested in what may be causing them
• concerned that the government was not doing enough to resolve the mystery.
  

The purpose of this paper is to summarize a large number of surveys of public opinions about UFOs, starting in 1947 and continuing to the present.

UFO frenzy goes into overdrive over Colorado

Daily Mail Reporter (March 26, 2011)
Red alert: The three red lights in a triangular formation filmed by various people in CO

It's the latest Internet sensation -- amateur footage of three [UFO] red lights in a triangular formation hovering in the night sky above the town of Lafayette in Colorado.

The video, shot last Monday, shows that the sky was clear, and witnesses said they could not see anything connecting the lights.

Leroy Vandervegt, a 50-year-old who has lived in Lafayette for 16 years, shot the video Sunday evening after his 17-year-old son saw the glowing orbs move from south west to south east along the horizon.

"I had no idea what it is," he said. "It wasn't a satellite, it wasn't an airplane and it wasn't a helicopter."

By Friday, five days after posting, more than 39,000 people had watched the video on YouTube, dailycamera.com reports.

Mr. Vandervegt said the lights made no noise and did not blink. The lights remained in a triangular shape as they moved forward, though the shape of the triangle changed.

Denver International Airport officials would not talk about the sighting. But, intriguingly, Allen Kenitzer, the Federal Aviation Administration's spokesman for the Rocky Mountain region, said his staff didn't see anything out of the ordinary. More

UFO Wikileaks: "They're coming"

The leaks are coming, but not necessarily the aliens. Several British newspapers, which seem to be taking the WikiLeaks fiasco with much more grace than U.S. publications, have reported that an upcoming round of "leaked cables" will include references to UFOs. It will certainly be interesting to see what world leaders and diplomats really think about the UFO phenomenon and what they are saying about it behind closed doors. More>>

Triangular-Shaped UFOs

Tom Cruise was Japanese in Past Life

TomKat (bastianbalthazarbux)

During one program, Japan's future first lady Miyuki Hatoyama claimed she became friends with Hollywood actor Tom Cruise [the famous Scientologist, also thought by many to be more alien than human, who married Geisha Katie Holmes, and inexplicably named their daughter Suki] after meeting him in a previous incarnation.

(metro.co.uk)

"He was Japanese in his past life, and we were together so when I see him, I will say, 'Hi. It's been a long time,' and he will immediately understand," 66-year-old Miyuki explained.

Her husband, future Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, the grandson of a former prime minister, is expected to be confirmed as the country's next leader on September 16, 2009. His Democratic Party of Japan toppled the Liberal Democratic Party in last week's vote, ending an unbroken stint of more than 50 years in power. Source

Triangular-shaped UFOs in the News

Japan's First Lady: "UFO took me to Venus"
(Sky.com, 9/03/09)

The new first lady of Japan has described receiving a visit from a UFO and meeting Hollywood actor Tom Cruise in a past life.

Miyuki Hatoyama and her incoming Prime Minister husband Yukio Hatoyama have been propelled into the global media spotlight by his sensational [unex-pected] election win. Mr. Hatoyama, nicknamed "the alien," scored a historic victory on Sunday, booting the ruling party out of office for the first time since 1955.

[Astral travel aboard UFO]
His wife has spoken publicly of an apparent alien visit, and said she was taken to a "beautiful place" two decades ago.

"While my body was asleep, I think my soul rode on a triangular-shaped UFO and went to Venus," she wrote in a book called Very Strange Things I've Encountered. Her then-husband told her it was probably a dream, but she said she thinks her current spouse, Prime Minister to be Hatoyama, would not have been so dismissive.

Mrs. Hatoyama cuts a flamboyant figure in the Japanese media. She has worked as a cookery writer and an actress and often appears on television chat shows.... Source
