What fraction of the population of your average country has done some serious thinking about UFOs? What fraction of those thinks at least one of those unexplained events involved aliens?

Argumentum ad Populum.
No, I was only wondering how many people believe that we were visited by aliens for somewhat reasonable reasons. I would guess quite a few people would say that they believe that at least one of the UFO sightings was an actual UFO but I would also guess that most people are only informed by headlines or History Channel documentaries and only relatively few people have dedicated some non-trivial amount of time to look into the topic like you would for other topics that interest you.
I mean, when I was younger I thought “maybe angels and demons and all that stuff was aliens”, but probably just lots of hallucinating mostly.
