Compiled by David Stein

A series of polls conducted by UFOINDIA.org, ( website documenting UFO sightings in India and trying to collect information and views on the subject of extraterrestrial life, intelligence and civilizations) has produced some interesting results with up to 98 per cent of those polled believing that intelligent extraterrestrial life does exist.

The other questions asked include whether those polled believed that ancient 'gods' were actually advanced extraterrestrial visitors who visited our planet eons ago and were thus considered as gods by the inhabitants of Earth at the time. 78 per cent of those polled believed that they were.

Sixty nine percent of those polled believed that extraterrestrial intelligence is already present on the Earth. Regarding where else in the Solar System life was most likely - 45 per cent say Mars, 32 per cent say Europa (a moon of Jupiter, which has an underground liquid water ocean which contains more water than that present on earth), 17 per cent say Titan ( a moon of Saturn, with a thick atmosphere much like Earth in the primordial days).

Another interesting result is that 51 per cent of those polled believe that intelligent extraterrestrial life that is more advanced technologically than us will also be more spiritually advanced than humans, 10 per cent say that they will not be more spiritually advanced, 10 per cent were undecided and 29 per cent say that technological development and spiritual development are in no way connected to each other.
