These Are The Countries That Believe In Aliens The Most

This graphic, via Visual Capitalist’s Marcus Lu, visualizes the results of an Ipsos poll that asked adults whether they thought aliens would visit Earth.

The survey consisted of 24,471 adults across 36 countries, conducted between October and November, 2022.

Where E.T.’s Existence Would be Most Accepted

IndiaSaudi Arabia, and the UAE had the highest share of respondents who believe an alien visit would be likely.

Country Likely (%) No response Unlikely
🇮🇳 India 43 17 40
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia 38 19 43
🇦🇪 UAE 36 23 41
🇹🇭 Thailand 29 25 46
🇨🇴 Colombia 26 23 51
🇨🇳 China 25 10 65
🇵🇪 Peru 23 21 56
🇮🇩 Indonesia 22 16 62
🇸🇬 Singapore 22 21 57
🇲🇽 Mexico 21 23 56
🇲🇾 Malaysia 21 23 56
🇹🇷 Turkey 20 18 62
🇿🇦 South Africa 19 19 62
🇧🇷 Brazil 19 18 63
🇨🇱 Chile 19 19 62
🇦🇷 Argentina 18 26 56

🇺🇸 U.S. 17 19 64
🇩🇪 Germany 17 11 72
🇦🇺 Australia 16 13 71
🇮🇪 Ireland 15 11 74
🇪🇸 Spain 15 17 68
🇸🇪 Sweden 15 10 75
🇮🇹 Italy 13 15 72
🇷🇴 Romania 13 20 67
🇫🇷 France 12 15 73
🇰🇷 South Korea 12 13 75
🇭🇺 Hungary 12 16 72
🇨🇦 Canada 12 18 70
🇳🇱 Netherlands 11 11 78
🇬🇧 UK 10 12 78
🇨🇭 Switzerland 10 13 77
🇮🇱 Israel 10 12 78
🇵🇱 Poland 10 14 76
🇧🇪 Belgium 10 11 79
🇯🇵 Japan 8 24 68

It’s hard to ascertain any one reason these three countries believe in aliens so strongly. It may be due to rich mythologies where the acceptance of various gods, djinn, and other magical beings translates into acceptance of alien life.

There might also be a religious element at play. Ongoing discussions about what the Quran states about other forms of life, except for humans, have generated interest on the internet.

It could also be an effect of mass media: the Star Wars movies, for example, were very popular in India.

However, the same influence for some countries clearly doesn’t work for others. The U.S., home to Hollywood—which seems to release at least one movie about aliens a year—sits firmly middle of the pack.

And then there’s Japan, where only 8% of those surveyed believed a visit was likely.

This is somewhat surprising, given the country’s strong technological advancements and fascination with futuristic themes in popular culture.

So… Do Aliens Exist?

NASA has said that so far, no credible evidence exists for extraterrestrial life. And despite multiple “strange light sightings,” over the years, the Department of Defense’s most recent report states there’s no “verifiable evidence” that all the “unidentified anomalous phenomena” (a new term for UFOs) actually represents alien life.

However, as a case study for probability, the odds of humans being the only advanced civilization in the whole universe is one in ten billion trillion. Or really, really, small.

So, purely mathematically, the chances of alien life existing are likely.

Now whether they’d visit—is another question entirely.

If aliens did visit, they’d probably bump into one of the many satellites hovering over the planet. Check out Operational and Planned Low Earth Orbit Internet Satellite Projects by creator MadeVisual to see which companies own what constellations.

Dave Smith: Will Trump Be Able To End The War In Ukraine?

At a recent pre-election speaking and podcast event, comedian and Libertarian political commentator Dave Smith expressed his view that it is very realistic that the next President Donald Trump could successfully negotiate an end to the Ukraine war

Smith’s view is optimistic, as he articulated that he believes Trump’s expressed desire to end wars in Ukraine and Gaza is genuine. But Smith also laid out that much depends on who Trump puts around him in top national security positions. Below is the hard-hitting segment featuring the prominent commentator addressing the question: will Trump be able to end the war in Ukraine?

Below are Dave Smith’s words from the segment on Trump and Ukraine below [emphasis ZH]…

“Why the hell are we even expanding our military alliance to Ukraine? And listen, Donald Trump always says that the war ‘never would have happened if I was president, and I would negotiate an end to this.’

And I gotta say I think he’s right about that. I don’t think the war would have happened if he was president – I think he will negotiate an end to it.

I don’t think he’s right that Hamas wouldn’t have attacked Israel if he was president – that seems kind of ridiculous to me. But he’s right: the Ukraine war could be over tomorrow if American wanted to negotiated a peace to it.

Vladimir Putin has been trying to the entire time… 

Well the question becomes who does Donald Trump put around him? If Donald Trump puts Mike Pompeo, aka Liz Cheney’s pick for Defense Secretary… if he puts John Bolton, aka Hillary Clinton’s pick for national security adviser – then maybe not, maybe it doesn’t happen.

But if he listens to Tucker Carlson, and ‘Bobby’ Kennedy, and Vivek Ramaswamy, and all the smart people around him – then yes, he could negotiate an end to that war.”

Indeed, the question ultimately becomes: will Trump really keep the ‘swamp’ out of his administration this time around? We hope so.
