A few years ago, a National Geographic Society poll revealed that 36% of Americans (about 190 million people) believe in aliens, while only 17% do not, and the remaining 47% are undecided. The figures may be surprising, but people have had an 1 _____ in aliens since the late 1940s. A 2 _____ in flying saucers, backed up by apparent 3 _____ of these alien spaceships in the form of grainy black and white photos, soon turned into an 4 _____, with people claiming to have actually made contact with beings from outer space. More recently, there has been an 5 _____ in this fascination with extraterrestrial life forms, thanks to detailed video footage "proof" (created with high-quality 3-D computer software). It's hard to explain the 6 _____ for this continued fascination; to many people, there seems to be little 7 _____ between thinking UFOs exist and believing in magic. Perhaps it's just that we have always had the 8 _____ for a little mystery in our lives.
