Gary BuseyA ‘fun survey’ conducted by National Geographic Channel's "Chasing UFOs" series found that  80 million Americans, or more than 1 in 4, believe UFO’s exist and are not afraid of an alien ‘drop-in’. The other 220 million hung up when they learned it was a courtesy call/survey. The word ‘invasion’ was not used as most think aliens are the friendly E.T. type.

Evidence suggests that aliens do not walk among us unless you count Gary Busey, then indeed, what are we afraid of? How much worse could aliens hurt us, than reality television and movies already have? Not a lot. We’re much too resilient a race having already weathered onslaughts like ‘From Justin to Kelly’, ‘Gigli’ and ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’.

The survey also showed that while 1 in 5 people would try to ‘befriend’ the alien from another world, they couldn’t tell you their next door neighbor’s name.

Skewing it politically, this poll also asks “which Presidential candidate would be better able to handle an alien invasion?”

Because many think he’s an alien himself, 65% said President Obama. If space beings have the President’s ear this, of course, would ‘alienate’ the lobbyists who thought they had the inside track.

In a clear majority, Americans believe Obama could single handedly stand on the roof of the White house with a super-secret high tech hand held radar guided battery operated and made in the USA weapon and fend off the type of space invasion that we see in the movies.

He would be played by Harrison Ford and stave off the ‘Independence Day’ type aliens who look like the ‘Borg’ from Star Trek with help from a Vice President feeding ammo, played by a grown up Henry Thomas, from the original E.T. movie in a neat ‘what goes around comes around scenario’.

This type of thinking helps us blur the line between reality and fantasy which we need to maintain sanity.

That leaves 35% who think Mitt Romney’s position would be that they should ‘self deport’ themselves back into space when they find out they won’t be eligible for the ‘Wet Foot, Dry Foot’ status because they might not have any. He’ll be portrayed by SNL’s Jason Sudeikis with dilated pupils.

Also in the poll, 11%said they’d seen a UFO and would regard an alien invasion as a ‘minor inconvenience’ on a par with waiting for a red light to turn green when you’re in a hurry.
