Exopolitics: A new way to understand the possibility of intelligent life on other planets
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."
