Something is out there...

Sydney - Four out of five Australians believe there are aliens in outer space, a survey released on Wednesday revealed.
But 84% of believers reckon the extraterrestrials would be friendly rather than out to conquer planet Earth and subjugate the human race.
Publishing company Reader's Digest asked 750 Australians their views on aliens, unidentified flying objects and strange encounters.
More than half of those convinced extraterrestrials exist thought they would be like us rather than a radically different life form. Younger respondents tended to see the space invaders as little green men.
Three in four believe the government has kept them in the dark about visits by aliens, the survey found.
"Australians may be genetically sceptical about most things, but when it comes to extraterrestrials, close encounters, and other X-files matters, we really do believe the truth is out there," Reader's Digest chief editor Tom Moore said. - Sapa-dpa
