Not if they want to gradually take over the planet and are working with the members of a so-called syndicate that is hiding these facts from the public, and the patterns etc. are merely a distraction to keep UFO-enthusiasts' attention away from the truth. "The date is set."

The probability that intelligent life exists somewhere else in the universe is basically 1. The chance that we will meet them is pretty damn close to 0.
Everything else in this poll is total bullsh*t.

I saw a program on the Discovery Channel that said Bush was a Lizard-man from another planet.

Extraterrestrials is not necessarily paranormal. The existence of life on other planets is quite likely.The other stuff is just delusion.

None of the above, although... Dowsing... Anenome With Copper Tongue is an album I want to hear. I don't believe in any of the above and as Peter rightly says, I find it's mainly those who believe in God who believe in them (not strictly true, mind you). As we've never been to the Moon (controversial!), then I do not believe other life forms have visited Earth. I do believe in other life forms however, it makes no sense whatsoever why only the Earth has life forms on it. I just do not believe they have the intelligence or technology to get here. We cannot get there, so how would they get here? Ghosts make no sense either... they would have shown themselves by now (like God would have too, by the way). Why hide away and be all sppoky? I think it might (that's a big might) be possible to somehow have telekinetic powers in the future, but not now. To be honest, I doubt we ever will. It's a pipedream of mine. Astrology... yuck. Surely if they want to remove Pluto (a recently discovered non-planet) as a planet, then surely it'll screw up Astrology? That's why it's rubbish. You cannot just add and remove planets and change how Astrology works. Foreseeing the future... well... my diary says I have something planned for a certain date, but that doesn't mean it will happen. Fate is fate. You cannot predict anything... oh wait, yes you can. You can predict the next DT album won't be to my taste!

Loch Ness monsters and bigfoot are 99.9999999999999999999% impossible. Shall i explain why, again?

I'm with Logos, "I want to believe". But I'm still not entirely convinced. I still voted for ET though. I actually had a (UFN) experience though (Unidentified flying noise) , and it was not just a night terror. I was laying awake trying to get to sleep when i notice I start hearing a low-volume kind of sustained pitch with minor variations about on top of me. I turned off the ceiling fan and tried to rule it out but I noticed that the sound source was moving from one side to the other (while staying at an elevation) and the volume of it increased when it was more overhead. Meanwhile, a dog was barking like CRAZY, and noticed the pattern that when the noise was more overhead, it was when the dog barked the most. I didn't try to go outside and take a look until it was too late and didn't notice anything and the noise was gone and the dog started barking. Note: My parents woke up due to the dog. They too noticed the dog stopped barking shortly before we went outside, so it's not in my mind. Just a little "unexplained" story that still doesn't necessarily mean that it was a Alien-related UFO

There were - allegedly - many sightings and tales of abduction etc, in the former Soviet Union. The worlds other super power at the time. It was the powerful status of the US and the USSR that is believed to be behind why the aliens visited these places with such frequency.
If you believe such things..

Let me add something ... why are almost all of the alien abduction stories from the United States? If it's somehow related to communication, maybe there could be a small relationship between US and the aliens due to Russel crash, etc. But if these people report to be examined, then why not the other countries?

it's probably because the USA is difficult to miss.
I think Mexico and parts of Bavaria/Switzerland have a larger number of sightings, but they probably don't fly too low because of the mountains, therefore do not crash.

My opinion in Each.
_I partly believe in Extra-terrestrials visiting us due to the huge pile of evidence. Even though most would be faked, things like the Russel Crash (or the one in Ohio), the NASA footage, and many more makes me believe it 'may' be true.
_I don't believe in ghosts that much at all, but I keep an open mind (I'm agnostic)
_Cryptozoology/Mythical Creatures: Sure, there are some weird animals here and there, but those mythical creatures and Big Foot??? No evidence, I don't believe it.
_ESP: The Randi Prize of 1 frickin' million wasn't awarded to anyone. Need I say more?
_Telekinesis: A bit more plausible maybe. Evidence is inadequate and these things could be done by Copperfield-style trickery and maybe if it's possible, it could be a fault in the laws of physics. Best telekinesis I've seen in youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O08_r66pNwY though i know there has to be a trick, like a string.
_Foreseeing the Future: ummmm, what? I just don't believe it can be possible.
_Astrology: Pure rubbish that made Walter Mercado a millionaire.

I think you are joking.
(In any case, a "bigfoot' -- or large unidentified primate -- would not be a supernatural or "paranormal" creature.)
Just in case you're not joking:
Where are the dead ones? the bones? (surely we'd have found the remains of such large animals, by now!)
Where's the poop?
Where's the bits of fur?
Where's the recent, reliable photographic evidence/pelts/tracks from: native Americans, loggers, prospectors, hikers, environmentalists, campers, etc?
Belief in "bigfoot' rates up there with belief in the Loch Ness Monster as far as totally ridiculous, wishful, flying-in-the-face-of-all-logic beliefs/tourist scams go!
