World UFO Day 2024: Top 10 US States With Highest Number of Reports

Every year on July 2, enthusiasts around the world come together to celebrate World UFO Day, a day designed to stimulate curiosity and discussion about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

The origins of World UFO Day can be traced back to 2001, although the exact date has changed slightly over time. Initially proposed to coincide with the date of a UFO sighting reported by pilot Kenneth Arnold in 1947, the date was eventually changed to July 2. This change coincided with the infamous Roswell incident in 1947, when an object crash-landed in Roswell, New Mexico, sparking decades of speculation about UFOs and alien visitations.

A grand event for exploration and open dialogue

World UFO Day is more than just fantasy stories and green men. It is a springboard for open discussion of the vast unknown world beyond Earth. It inspires curiosity and ignites a passion for scientific exploration. This day brings together UFO enthusiasts, researchers and the curious to delve deeper into the mysteries of the universe.
