'100...' Research Proposal

My subject is.. Aliens & UFO's

I am going to collect/record document...

I will create a short questionnaire with questions regarding their beliefs surrounding the existence of extraterrestrial life and UFO sightings. I will also ask if believe that higher authorities are hiding information from the public regarding aliens and UFOs (such as Area 51) and ask for any forms of pop culture i.e. movies, tv programmes and books, which affect their beliefs or views on their existence.

Alongside this, I will look into articles and news stories documenting UFO sightings, apparent alien abductions and look at various forms of pop culture to compare the portrayal of aliens. I will try to watch the many documentaries which have been made throughout the years and try to discover the 'true' facts.

With the help of YouTube, people have been able to upload their own sightings, therefore this will be a great source of information - however, many images and videos have been deemed to be false therefore I will need to back the findings with facts.

Possible categories will include...

UFO sightings
Alien abductions
Area 51

Portrayal of aliens in pop culture
NASA and space mission findings
Documentaries for and against
Crop circles

PRIMARY methods of research

How will you research?
Questionnaires asking for peoples own views on the existence of aliens.
Clear and concise statistics for example, who does and doesn't believe in aliens.
Hopefully contacting those who have witnessed UFO's and ask them what they saw, whether this affected their beliefs etc
Own sightings perhaps?
Looking at movies, tv programmes and books and their portrayal of extraterrestrial life

Who/where/what will you research?
I will ask... family and friends, the general public and create online questionnaires which I could publish online to access a wider and more diverse audience.
I will also watch films, tv programmes, books and documentaries.

What form and quantity will be produced?
Clear data representation of statistics 
Opinions categorised into for and against

SECONDARY methods of research

How will you research?
Videos and images relating to alien & UFO sightings, abductions etc
Artwork in books, films etc
Information released by higher authorities - NASA space missions
Crop circles - possibly on Google Maps
Articles and news stories on possible sightings

Who/where/what will you research?
I will use the internet primarily but will also look at films, tv programmes, documentaries, books, broadcasts, statements etc. I will look at everything aforementioned aswell as Area 51 and its true origins, crop circles etc. Also, I want to see if those devoted to the research regarding extra terrestrial life have published any findings themselves and what they believe to be fact or fiction.

What form and quantity will be produced?
For and against arguments, images & sightings, facts & statistics etc.
