Almost three quarters of British kids believe extra terrestrial creatures exist and their teachers are one of them.
However, 90% of the respondents could not name all eight planet of the solar system.
The poll was conducted for the DVD release of the film Aliens in the Attic.
"Children have many fantasies and love to escape into a world of make-believe they can imagine for themselves," the Daily Star quoted Child psychologist and TV presenter Laverne Antrobus as saying.
