25 The Roper Poll The United States has a population of about 300 million people. And if 10 percent of Americans have seen UFOs, that would equal 30 million UFO witnesses. This raises the question, how many people have been abducted by UFOs? Another prominent survey is the Roper Poll. In 1974, the Roper Poll found that 40 percent of Americans believe in UFOs. In 1996, how- ever, the Roper Poll found that 2 percent of Americans have experienced a UFO abduction. If true, that would equal 6 million Americans who have been inside a UFO! These surveys tend to raise more questions that are difficult to answer; for example, with 30 million UFO witnesses, why is it that only half of the people surveyed even believe in UFOs? Also, with 6 million UFO abductees, why is it that there isn’t more physical evidence? Where are the UFOs? What are the top three places in the United States for seeing UFOs? Ac- cording to the National UFO Reporting Service (NUFORC), the top three spots are: 1 California 2 Washington 3 Texas Nobody is sure why these spots are more active than others. California does have the highest population of any other state, and Texas is the second largest state. Both of these might be reasons, but at this point, the answer remains one of the many mysteries surrounding the subject of aliens and UFOs.
