Survey Finds Prevalent Belief In Aliens: A nationwide poll of almost 1,500 people conducted by die national television show "Dateline: USA" discovered more than 70 percent of those surveyed believe there is life elsewhere in the universe. Opinions were evenly divided as to whether the beings would be hostile or friendly in the event that they visited Earth. Of the respondents, 65 percent believed we'd be conquered during such a visit, while 25 percent were confident of Earth's ultimate victory over the invaders. Apadiy to this question reached 10 percent. This number had no opinion or felt diey "wouldn't be around" to find out how such a confrontation would turn out. As far as technology goes, 80 percent believed alien technology would be more advanced than ours. After all, they reasoned, it would have to permit them to travel across millions of light years in space. Producers of the show said three recent events inspired the survey: the $100 million NASA/SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) project, the new edition of L. Ron Hubbard's international fiction bestseller "Battlefield Earth" and the release of the film "Fire in the Sky," which depicts Travis Walton's account of his abduction by alien beings. Most of the people surveyed agreed alien beings would not "look like us." Their exact description varied, ranging from pear-shaped creatures to furry, talon-wielding giants to winged lizards.
