Millions Of Americans With Kucinich On UFO Belief
by Jon Keller
BOSTON (WBZ) ―
Do you believe in unidentified flying objects -- UFOs? A third of Americans do. One in seven claims to have seen one.
And that group includes a presidential candidate.
A lot of voters might find this the most believable claim they've heard in this race.
But while politicians may laugh at UFO sightings, millions of Americans apparently aren't in on the joke.
Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich said he has seen one, and he points out that, in more ways than one, he is not alone.
"You have to keep in mind that Jimmy Carter saw a UFO and also that more people in this country have seen UFOs than I think approve of George Bush's presidency," Kucinich said.
Despite millions believing in UFOs, this may have been a source of amusement for the political elites Tuesday night.
House Speaker Sal Dimasi said Wednesday night, "If by a UFO you mean an unexplainable phenomenon that flashes in, stays briefly, and leaves a mess in its wake, then yes, I have seen one -- Mitt Romney."
And State Treasurer Tim Cahill said he doesn't believe in UFO's, and if that means he's out of touch with a third of the public, "I'll take the other 67 percent," he said. "That's enough to get me re-elected."
But who are you going to believe? Those guys or your own eyes?
Keep in mind, it's government that consistently debunks a UFO phenomenon millions believe in.
And whatever you believe, believe this: that's a sign of a major credibility gap.
