大多数美国人认为，政府隐瞒了UFO的信息

Two-thirds of Americans say the government knows more than it’s saying about UFOs in the wake of a plan to “Storm Area 51” in Nevada and potentially uncover its secrets about alien life later this month.

三分之二的美国人表示，政府对不明飞行物的了解比它所说的要多。此前，美国内华达州“风暴51区”计划出台，可能在本月晚些时候揭开有关外星生命的秘密。

In a Gallup poll released Friday, 68 percent of respondents said the government is not leveling with the public about what it knows, however, it appears that the public remains skeptical of actual sightings of unidentified flying objects.

在盖洛普周五公布的一项民意调查中，68%的受访者表示，政府并没有就其所知全部公之于众，不过，看来公众仍然对实际看到的不明飞行物持怀疑态度。

Only 33 percent of US adults believe that some UFO sightings over the years have in fact been alien spacecraft visiting Earth.

只有33%的美国成年人相信,这些年来的一些UFO目击事件,实际上是外星飞船造访地球。

The remaining 60 percent are skeptical, saying that all such sightings can be explained by human activity or natural phenomena.

其余60%的人持怀疑态度，认为所有这些目击事件,都可以用人类活动或自然现象来解释。

The plan to storm Area 51 began with a Facebook event that went viral last month — and now some 2 million people are supposedly going to show up to the top-secret military base in the Nevada desert.

“风暴51区”的计划始于上个月在Facebook上疯传的一场活动，现在大约有200万人计划前往内华达沙漠的绝密军事基地。

The poll also has a demographic breakdown of which Americans are more likely to believe that UFOs are alien spacecraft.

这项民调还对美国人更倾向于相信ufo是外星飞船的人口进行了细分。

Residents of the West rate the highest, at 40 percent, compared with 32 percent for those in the East and 27 percent in the Midwest. Americans of lower socioeconomic status are more likely to believe UFOs are real, as well.

西部地区的居民比例最高，为40%，而东部地区为32%，中西部地区为27%。社会经济地位较低的美国人,更可能相信不明飞行物是真的。

Whether or not Americans believe the government is being honest, it’s clear from the poll that the topic has entered the country’s consciousness, since 86 percent of adults say they have heard of or read about unidentified flying objects.

不管美国人是否相信政府是诚实的，从民意调查中可以明显看出，这个话题已经进入美国的意识，因为86%的成年人说,他们听说过或读过UFO。
