Annexe N - Questionnaire d'opinion sur les ovnis

Home  >  Etude scientifiques des Objets Volants Non Identifiés  >  Sommaire

The following statements all have to do with Unidentified Flying Objects -- often called "U-F-O's." One type of U-F-O is a "flying saucer." The statements are ideas, or opinions, not necessarily facts -- so people differ in the degree to which they believe them to be true or false.

For each of the statements shown below, please indicate the degree to which you feel the statement to be either true or false:

  1. Definitely false means that you are fully convinced the statement is false, and you would act without hesitation on this belief. You would question the wisdom of anyone who disagreed with you.

  2. Probably false means that you are not sure whether the statement is true or false, but that if you had to act on it, you would regard the statement as more likely false than true. Your opinion might be changed by discussion with another person.

  3. Probably true means that you are not sure whether the statement is true or false, but that if you had to act on it, you would regard the statement as more likely true than false. Your opinion might be changed by discussion with another person.

  4. Definitely true means that you are fully convinced that the statement is true, and you would act without hesitation on this belief. You would question the wisdom of anyone who disagreed with you.
To indicate your belief, place an X in the appropriate box next to the item. Do not skip any item.
