Almost 50 percent of British adults believe in captive space aliens, and topping the list of such generally-held truths is a secret plot to harbour aliens at a remote military base in a desert in the United States, says a new survey.
The online poll was conducted to coincide with the UK cinema release of 'I Want to Believe', the second X-Files film, which aimed to uncover the most popular conspiracy theories.
The survey uncovered that almost fifty percent of respondents believe there is some truth in the legend of Area 51, which holds that Groom Lake, in Nevada, was a covert base for extra-terrestrial studies, after a spaceship crashed there in the 1950s.
A large number of Britons believe the stories about sophisticated spacecraft, "footage" of grey aliens, and testimonies from former employees passed down through the years. All this has helped convince them about the "Roswell incident".
In fact, more than one in three respondents (38 per cent) believe that the 9/11 atrocity was part of a US government plot to create an excuse to invade and Afghanistan.

“Bushs’”?
37% of British Muslims believe they should kill Jews when they find them.
I’m beginning to believe that 50% of Brits ARE space aliens.
The West has been dumbed down far enough that anything will be believed.
Bush’s
Here's one of the 50% checking in...
“Islam is a threat.”
“Now that is too hard to believe.”
Yes it has, if Freepers are still credulously believing in polls.
For a headline to read "50% of Britons" it would have to have been a poll of every Briton. I'm pretty sure I wasn't asked.
No race advanced enough to come through the walls and obsess over your derriere while you sleep will be held hostage by humans.
Thank you...Could never figure out when seeing “Bushes Fault” is you spelled it with an apostrophe...
BTW, Christopher Hitchens said in an interview yesterday that Labour is expected to lose big this year, do you guys think that's accurate?
95% of Freepers on this thread believe that a push-poll by 20th Century Fox to boost the release of “X files” is somehow relevant and important.
I fear for the West.
I’m glad to say that Labour are toast. They are between lepers and serial pet-killers in popularity.
But now for something really important, would the 50% enjoy winning an all expenses paid weekend stay at Fawlty Towers?
50% of Britons who are interested enough in conspiracy theories to visit a website relating to them, believe in conspiracy theories.
Who’d a thunk it?
Here is a must watch video.

Yes, and while 25% of Americans think 9-11 was some sort of “inside job”; I am sure over 50% of those who log into “truther” web sites believe so.
Only 10% of people have a biological father who isn't who mommy said was the daddy; but 30% of those who CHECK the paternity find out they are not the father.
Roswell incident?
Aliens? New Mexico?
