Unbelievable...

Here's a snapshot of an on-line poll at CNN as of ~ 6:30 am PDT:

Do you believe that extraterrestrial life has visited Earth?
Yes 62% 49011
No 38% 30321
Total Votes: 79332

While these polls are entirely unscientific I am astounded at the overwhelming belief in favor of prior visitation.

Like Fox Mulder of X-Files fame, I want to believe. However, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. In this case it's likely too much consumption of sci-fi and not enough real science in the diet of the poll respondents.
