Alien hunters, UFO theorists and conspiracy theorists, its time to assemble and discuss your common interests; World UFO Day is coming. Each year July 2 is celebrated as World UFO Day. Unidentified Flying Objects have been a subject of intrigue for years and there are so many spottings that have been reported all around the year. These spottings offer a meek possibility of life beyond this planet. While scientists have been searching for signs of extra-terrestrial life, World UFO Day is marked to spread more awareness about their existence.  UFO in North Carolina: Mysterious Square-Shaped Object Seen in Night Sky, Enthusiasts Suspect 'Spy Plane,' See Pic!

Date of World UFO Day

There are two days when World UFO Day is observed. While some celebrate it on June 24, others mark it on July 2. The latter commemorates the supposed UFO crash in the 1947 Roswell UFO Incident. A US Army Air Forces balloon crashed near New Mexico. It was supposedly a "flying disc" and soon many ufologists promoted alien and UFO conspiracy theories. While some believe that the celebrations started since the year 2001 by WorldUFODay.com.  UFO Spotted During Thunderstorm? Australian Police Tweets Saying 'We Are Not Alone', Here's The Truth.

History and Significance of World UFO Day

The basic goal of celebrating World UFO Day is to raise awareness of "the undoubted existence of UFOs." It is also aimed to encourage governments to declassify their files on UFO sightings. Another aim to mark this day is to bring all the enthusiasts of UFOs together and collate their collective evidence about the existence of alien life. Some theorists already believe that aliens or any form of other life have landed on the earth and that the information is being hidden from the general populace.

The subject of aliens, UFOs and rocket science has been a popular subject explored in movies, which has interested more audiences over the years. Besides this, there have been so many official investigations into the reports of spotting a UFO, but there hasn't been a significant proof of the same to support alien life. So while it seems intriguing to imagine a life beyond the planet earth, it still seems a distant possibility. The best way to celebrate this day is to binge watch on sci-fi movies and series. Or you could indulge in reading more about the unidentified flying objects. Wish you Happy World UFO Day!
