I mean, there is still people who think that a UFO was sighted in Roswell at the radar testing site of Area 51.

Imagine that, 70ish years later there is people that cannot grasp how modern the A-12 prototype was. [1]

In my opinion the US has a real scientific education problem. So much so that people still think that alien life that built machines so advanced that they can bridge distances over lightyears travel time... just the belief that they will remotely resemble our appearance anyhow is statistically so close to 0 that I have no words to express how unlikely it is to happen. You have a greater chance getting hit every millisecond of your life by a lightning strike than this being the case.
