Seventeen percent of those polled don't believe UFOs exist and 48% aren't sure.
The survey also found that 79 percent of people believe the government is hiding the existence of UFOs.
In the event that aliens actually visit Earth, 22% of those surveyed would try to befriend the alien, while 15% said they would run away. Of the remaining group, 13% said they would lock their doors, while only 2% said they would try to inflict bodily harm on the alien.
By the way, the poll also said Barack Obama would do a better job of handling an alien invasion than Mitt Romney.
The survey was released in advance of the channel's new show, Chasing UFO's, which premieres this Friday.
