But if you want to get into it, I'd say the people who invented the nuclear bomb were FAR from idiots.

The United States. Not because its people are especially gullible but because it is the cultural point of origin of the UFO mythology. Flying saucers are an American invention. Alien abductions, too, were invented in America.
The cultural mulch in which the UFO myth originally germinated is also American: science fiction, the space programme, spaceships and aliens in movies and on TV.
Americans are steeped in UFOs and aliens from childhood onwards. That suggests that they would be the readiest to believe in such things if the rumour ever got started.
