A number of top senators have been briefed by the Pentagon recently on UFO sightings by Navy pilots, but few Americans feel threatened by unidentified flying objects. They do, however, believe there is intelligent life out in space.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just 12% of American Adults regard UFOs as a national security threat to the United States. Sixty-one percent (61%) do not, but a notable 27% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The survey of 1,000 American Adults was conducted on June 23-24, 2019 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC.
