The Exopolitical Observer

In January 2006, the Associated Press reported that “Exopolitics” was nominated for 2005 Word of the Year. “Exopolitics” was coined in Canada.

“Exopolitics” gave a name to what adult Americans had reported to pollsters at Ropers several years earlier in 2002:  that American public opinion was in agreement with the existence of intelligent life on other planets. 

In fact, the 2002 Roper poll on American beliefs and personal experiences on intelligent life on other planets, using rigorous scientific polling methods, found that about half (48%) of U.S. adults believe that intelligent life from other planets or dimensions is now visiting Earth, and that two-thirds (67%) of U.S. adults believe in the existence of intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe.  

The Roper poll also found that 72% of U.S. Adults believe the U.S. government is not telling all it knows about space craft or “unidentified flying objects” visiting Earth. Fully 14% of   Americans say they have had a close encounter with a space craft or “unidentified flying object.”

Two percent of Americans told Roper that they have had an encounter with intelligent beings from other planets or dimensions. Roper also found that among those adult Americans who believe in abductions by non-terrestrial beings, fully one-third (33%) claim they either experienced or know someone who experienced a close encounter with intelligent beings from other planets or dimensions.
