In a poll, which was organised by 'Ripley's Believe it or Not!' London team, it was found that while 51 percent of adults in the UK think aliens exist, only a think believe that God does, the Daily Star reported.

The study conducted on 1,500 adults and 500 kids, also revealed that 1 in 5 Brits claim to have encountered some supernatural activity, with 55 percent saying that ghosts exist and 42 percent believing in UFO's.
