The answer is probably actually closer to 100%. If it isn't now, it will be soon. A recent Roper Poll shows:
...that over half of the American public think that UFOs are something real and not just in people's imagination.

The same poll also states:
One in Seven Americans Say They or Someone They Know Has Had an Experience Involving a UFO

The Disclosure Project (the Disclosure Project held a
National Press Club Conference on May 9, 2001. Four months later, in September, the world's
attention was drawn away to a national catastrophe.) . It's just a matter of time before someone has a sighting, or through the preponderance of the
evidence comes to the obvious conclusion.
What's interesting to note is that the believers/witnesses are more and more young people, which means that either the sightings are increasing, or
the people with the ability to witness these craft are increasing (i.e., have been/are being born within the last 15 - 25 years or so).
My personal belief discounts abductions as sleep paralysis, because people are witnessing these craft/beings while outside, wide awake, and often
during the day. Video and photographic evidence proves this.
This phenomena, however, traverses both the physical seen world, and the non-physical unseen or quantam world. Scientists have mathematically proven
the existence of multiple dimensions. I don't have a link at the moment, but this is only to say that the experiences of ufos, abductions, near death
experiences, etc., are not dreams - they are real.
Our understanding of our universe and the dimensions that exist simultaneously is just beginning to be not only scientifically studied and proven, but
is becoming experiential fact.
It doesn't matter what people's beliefs are at this point. It's clear that we're moving toward a more holistic view of our universe - whether we
like it or not. Whether we believe in it or not. All of us are going to have to adjust our belief systems accordingly, to accomodate a new paradigm
for the world we live in. See
Michael St. Clair.
This isn't speculation, it's fact. The more people that become aware, look around, research and keep an open mind can see this as plain as the nose
on their face.
