A Brief History of World UFO Day
World UFO Day originated in 2001 to raise awareness about the existence of UFOs and to encourage governments to disclose any information they may have regarding these mysterious sightings. The date, July 2nd, was chosen to commemorate the alleged UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. Since then, World UFO Day has gained momentum and has become a day for enthusiasts and curious minds alike to come together and explore the possibilities beyond our planet.
