Every year on July 2, World UFO Day is marked to raise awareness about the Unidentified Flying Objects and the existence of life beyond the planet. Space enthusiasts have always been fascinated by the conspiracy theories around strange unidentified objects and extraterrestrial life, starting from the Roswell incident in Mexico in July 1947. Although the US military later said it was a balloon, conspiracy theories emerged worldwide. Originally, the day was celebrated on June 24. The practice was carried out by Haktan Akdognan (a UFO researcher), who marked the sighting of a group of unidentified flying objects by an American pilot named Kenneth Arnold. However, owing to conflicts with other UFO-related events, the date was later changed to July 2 to coincide with the Washington, DC, sightings.
