For example,

Also,

Is this sentence still incorrect?

"We have believed since 2010."

Do I have to state what do we believe in?
I'm just trying to keep the sentence as short as possible.

Five years of UFO sightings. (A headline need not be a full sentence.)
UFOs observed since 2010. Believe it or not!
