As part of Ufo week, the topic of Ufos and potential alien invasion led to a research by Blaze Tv designed to examine the views of the British public with respect to the existence of aliens, and a potential alien invasion anytime in the future.
The survey of 2,000 UK adults was carried out by OnePoll during February 2021 on behalf of Blaze, ahead of Ufo week which would see seven days of programmes dedicated to UFOs, aliens and the extra-terrestrial.
The findings of the research revealed to The Eye Of Media.Com shows the interesting reaction of respondents to hypothetical scenario of a future Ufo invasion.
Over a quarter (27 %) of those surveyed in the research conducted said they think that the UK government should have a war or battle plan in place for a potential alien invasion, while nearly a third (31%) feel there should be a dedicated task force for dealing with extra-terrestrial threats.
Over half of those surveyed (58 % believe that our current leaders are unsuited to the task of dealing with an alien invasion, should one occur 15 per cent of those polled apparently believe that aliens will likely dominate Earth in the next 20 years.
Spooky
As spooky as aliens sound to intelligent minds, there is growing realisation in the last decade of the existence of extraterrestrial beings, whose full functions continues be the object of inquiry.
Undeniable sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects(UFO) over the years has sparked discussions about preparedness, in the event of an invasion. Such an invasion is generally considered very unlikely, otherwise it should have happened by now, right?
The notion of intelligent life out there assumes the existence of conscious and orderly beings, more advanced that the inhabitants of earth, with a much more sophisticated data base than those of our advanced technologies here in the world.
Nick Pope, a former Ministry of Defence UFO investigator who has been advising Blaze ahead of the TV channel’s ‘UFO Week’, said. “2021 is going to be a big year for UFO stories, especially with the US Department of Defence due to reveal UFO information following the enactment of the Covid-19 Relief Bill, which included a demand that the Director of National Intelligence send Congress a report about UFOs.
“This survey demonstrates that beliefs in UFOs and the extra-terrestrial are widespread and that there is a real appetite among the general population for evidence to be made public.”
Pope investigated UFO sightings to determine whether they had any defence significance between 1991 to 1994.
“As far as I am aware, no such UK government plan to deal with any alien invasion or extra-terrestrial contact exists,” he said. “As such, the public’s lack of confidence in the government to respond effectively to a UFO incident is both fair and concerning.”
29 per cent of those surveyed think the UK government is keeping important information relating to UFOs and aliens secret, while a third (33 per cent) believe that aliens could already be living amongst us.
Panic And Fear
Panic and fear would be the most dominant reactions (52 per cent) if aliens were proven to be visiting Earth, while fewer than one in ten (9 per cent) would feel excited and happy.. The Blaze channel will feature new TV shows exploring whether we are alone in the universe or if aliens have been visiting Earth.
