Good morning.

Haystack here.

There's a new survey that says that UFO news is making more Americans believe in aliens.

Not really a surprise.

I mean, the US Government has spent decades saying don't be ridiculous, and now they've suddenly switched to okay, Technically we call them UAPs now.

A survey finds 37% of Americans say recent coverage of UFOs in the news and made them believe in aliens more than they used to.

And for the youngsters, the Gen Z, it's more than half.

54%, Which makes sense.

You think about it, this young generation, they've watched politics, housing markets, dating apps, AI, climate change, inflation, social media.

It's all gotten weird all at the same time.

Aliens are probably the least surprising thing that would show up on their bingo card.

I mean, at this point, a spaceship landing would not even crack the top five strangest headlines of the last few years.

This Survey also says 60% of Americans think that governments know more about UFOs than they have told us.

What?

Of course they do.

Americans don't trust the government to explain airline fees, much less glowing objects doing donuts over Nevada.

55% Of us say that society is not ready for confirmed alien life.

Just over half.

I don't agree at all.

I. I think we are absolutely ready.

I mean, we're not emotionally ready, we're not spiritually ready, we're not scientifically ready, but commercially we're ready immediately.

Within 20 minutes, people will have out alien merch, alien podcasts, alien dating apps, a limited edition Mountain Dew flavored called Galactic.

Do you.

I just hope I get the chance to talk to an alien.

I think it'd be pretty cool.

I can think of at least six great conversation starters.

Well, gather round folks.

It's the time of day when we laugh and smile in a light hearted way.

Tune in for the giggles and let's kick back.

Here comes the fun.

It's the morning six pack.

These are the top six alien conversation starters coming in at number six.

Does ET still like to dress up in women's clothing?

Number five, why are you so obsessed with redneck butts?

Get that probe out of here.

Number four, Can I use your glowing fingertip to light my grill, please?

Three, does the optometrist cost extra when you have three eyes?

Number two is that little Grogu thing, a D bag in real life.

And the number one conversation starter, if we met real life aliens would be.

Of course.

Are you sure you want us to take you to our leader?

He's not a big fan of aliens.
