A new poll from NewsNation and Decision Desk HQ reveals that 44% of Americans believe the federal government is concealing information about UFOs. The survey, which included Democrats, Republicans, independents, and others, found that 28% of respondents disagreed, while another 28% said they were unsure.
The results show a clear generational divide: 49% of Gen Z and 48% of millennials believe in a government UFO cover-up, compared to just 34% of baby boomers.
Belief varies by gender, location, and political affiliation
The poll also showed that men are more likely than women to suspect a government cover-up. Urban dwellers are more suspicious than those in rural areas. And politically, Republicans (48%) are far more likely than Democrats (39%) to believe the government is hiding UFO-related information.
Public fascination vs. political indifference
The findings come at a time when Congress has held multiple hearings on "unidentified aerial phenomena" (UAPs), and declassified videos have reignited public fascination with unexplained sightings. However, most politicians remain largely dismissive of the issue.
As one political aide put it: “Most lawmakers treat these polls the same way they treat UFO photos: blurry at best, fake at worst.”
Still, the results highlight a growing mistrust in government institutions, especially among younger generations. Whether or not the truth is “out there,” as the famous TV series once claimed, a significant portion of Americans are convinced that someone in Washington is keeping it under wraps.
