According to a Fox News Poll 35 percent of Americans say that they believe in UFOs or aliens. And according to a poll taken by Ohio University 1 in 12 Americans claim to have seen a mysterious object in the sky. The same poll also suggests that 1 in 5 Americans know someone who has seen a UFO. So what should you do if you ever see an alien craft? It all depends on what type of person you are. Are you an adventure seeker? Are you looking for a claim to fame? Or would curiosity simply get the best of you? If you are in fact any of the above there are a few things that you can do to document your encounter in order to help UFOologists unearth the mysteries of aliens.

Small details may not seem important or they may even seem superficial but to a UFOolgist it might mean something.

Zoom In-

If you are braver than just being able to stand still and decide that you can physically move, an aide to your memory may be your camera. If you find yourself walking in the woods taking pictures of wildflowers and you come upon an alien gathering put your camera to good use and by all means, if you have a quiet zoom, zoom in as far as you can in order to get that weird looking mole on the leader's forehead. If you don't have a camera, you may just have your cell phone with you and although it won't zoom in as far as your camera, most cell phones with photographic capabilities have some type of zoom.
