Observing the skies for the entire day or hosting a costume party where attendees dress as astronauts or aliens is one of the ways to commemorate World UFO Day.
Host a UFO documentary marathon at home. Curate a list of the best documentaries and movies about UFOs and unexplained phenomena. This can be both entertaining and educational, sparking discussions and debates about the existence of aliens and UFOs.
Established in 2001 by UFO researcher Haktan Akdogan, the day was first observed on June 24 to commemorate American pilot Kenneth Arnold's observation of unknown flying objects. The date was later changed to July 2 to coincide with the Washington, DC sightings.
The day aims to raise awareness about the existence of UFOs, encourage governments to declassify their knowledge about sightings and foster a community for enthusiasts and researchers to share information and experiences.
