Public skepticism of UFO explanations grows, with more believing in government secrecy

A new Gallup poll finds that 49% of Americans believe all UFO sightings have human or natural explanations, down from 60% in 2019. Meanwhile, 78% now think the government is withholding information about UFOs, up from 71% in 1996. Younger adults are the most skeptical, while those aged 30-49 are most likely to attribute some sightings to alien spacecraft.
