3. Do you believe that people who see U.F.O.’s are actually seeing something in the sky, or are they just imagining things?
|
Some are seeing something, some are imagining things, some are outright lying; it's not a yes/no question really

4. Do you believe that life exists in the universe somewhere other than Earth?
|
Yes in the sense that I think it's likely

5. Have you ever seen an U.F.O.?
|
I've seen (decidedly nonspectacular) phenomena I can't 100% certainly identify, but I suppose they don't count since I've assumed it's just due to my own inability and not due to the nature of the phenomena

6. Do you believe UFO’s are extraterrestrial in origin [...] or terrestrial in origin
|
While this is impossible to answer succintly really, discounting direct hoaxes and "hallucinations" it so far looks to me like the so-called UFO observations are misidentifications of "normal" celestial or aerial phenomena, many of them common and some of them possibly exceedingly uncommon; I find it very unlikely any of them would be result of activities of alien intelligent agents (including anything from physical aliens to angels, deities and demons)

7. Do you believe the government is hiding information about UFO’s
|
In a board sense they probably are, but not in the way UFO conspiracy crowd is claiming; so I'd say "no" to be on the safe side

8. Do you believe there is intelligent life somewhere in the universe with the capabilities of traveling to earth?
|
While it's much more unlikely than simply there being life elsewhere in the universe, I think it is also possible; so it's a very tentative "yes" as to
capability only

9. Do you believe in your lifetime that scientists will find life somewhere else in the universe?

I hope they do but I must say I really don't believe they will
