In this week’s poll, we asked you if you thought the Sci Fi series “Taken” will make more people believe close encounters are real. Most of you are hopeful?52% voted “Yes.” However, almost as many of you (40%) think the show “Won’t change anybody’s opinion.” 8% of you are skeptics who think it “will make fewer people believe close encounters are real.” It will be interesting to watch the media in the upcoming months to see if there is less ridicule aimed at experiencers and abductees.
