According to a OnePoll survey commissioned by TV channel Fox News, the most popular reasons for an ET visit are – aliens’ wish to learn more about the human race, including scientific research and Earth’s natural resources. One in six polled said aliens may also pay us a visit to reverse damage done by humans to nature.

Half of Brits believe that extraterrestrial life exists and that the Earth will face an Independence Day-style alien invasion by 2068, according to a new poll. More than two-thirds of respondents contend that the government must prepare a plan to deal with such a scenario, while 71 percent of respondents said they believe that aliens had already visited our planet.

Despite the fact that almost of half of Brits (46 percent) are ready to take up arms against space invaders only 23 percent of respondents believe that humans will defeat aliens, while more than half say an alien attack would mean the end of the human race as we know it.
