Why were there two separate dates for World UFO Day celebrations?
On June 24, the day that aviator Kenneth Arnold first reported a UFO sighting in the United States, several people had previously observed this day.
- Kenneth Arnold’s reports of seen UFOs: On June 24, 1947, American aviator Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine unidentified objects flying one behind the other while operating his aircraft close to Mount Rainier, Washington.
- Arnold made the initial allegation that gave rise to these hypotheses about extraterrestrial artifacts on Earth.
- The US Air Force officially classified the Arnold case as a “mirage” because it the first time such an object sighted and no evidence discovered.
On July 2, the day of the alleged 1947 Roswell UFO crash, some people marked the occasion.
- The 1947 Roswell Incident: After a crash in July 1947 close to Roswell, New Mexico, there was conjecture that the object was a “flying disc.”
- The most well-known piece of UFO mythology was that it was the first known “UFO crash” outside a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico.
- Before the US military intervened and emphasized that the debris was from a crashed experimental weather balloon, speculations of an alien invasion were circulating.
- The World UFO Day Organization (WUFODO) later officially designated July 2nd as World UFO Day.
How World UFO Day Celebrated?
