On July 2, everyone is permitted to think laterally, creatively, and perhaps even a little bit unconventionally. World UFO Day encourages us all to question conventional wisdom.
“I want to believe.” These are the sentiments of the infamous X-Files protagonist Fox Mulder, who persuaded an entire generation that the truth exists and must be discovered. On July 2, however, everyone on the planet will have the opportunity to celebrate World UFO Day, and not just science fiction fans. UFOs have been the substance of legend for centuries, but it wasn’t until the 1950s that bizarre flying saucers captured the attention of the general public on a national and international scale. Since then, UFOs have captivated both young and elderly, and witness accounts have proliferated across the globe. World UFO Day provides an opportunity for everyone to observe the night sky for UFOs at the same time, but this is not its only function. Many view the holiday as an opportunity to spread knowledge and awareness of UFOs, arguing for their existence and expecting to convert sceptics. Why then July 2? For many, this date marks the anniversary of the infamous 1947 incident in Roswell, New Mexico, which is virtually confirmed.
On July 2, everyone is permitted to think laterally, creatively, and perhaps even a little bit unconventionally. World UFO Day encourages us all to question conventional wisdom, and for once, it may be acceptable for our minds to wander into space.What is the connection between smoke detectors, water filtration, treadmills, and memory foam? All of them were conceived during NASA’s research on space exploration, and this innovation is just getting begun. The more we investigate space-age and futuristic technologies, the more discoveries we make that have an impact on our daily existence.
UFO awareness has spawned some of the biggest box office successes of the last few decades. As interest in space exploration and extraterrestrial life increases, we can anticipate Hollywood to adapt. Films such as Alien, Arrival, and Interstellar have propelled the popularity of UFO films into the stratosphere. Previously, UFO films were categorised as merely campy science fiction.A newspaper reports extensive sightings of an astronomical phenomenon over Nuremberg.Farmers in Roswell, New Mexico report witnessing a large crash, and citizens later recover the alleged remains of a flying saucer.US Air Force officer Edward Ruppelt coined the term ‘UFO’, which stands for Unidentified Flying Object.
The science fiction drama series “The X-Files” premieres on Fox.

If you needed an excuse to host a party, there are numerous opportunities here. Alien and UFO costumes are easy and humorous, whereas culinary ideas are limitless. Alien cupcakes with green frosting, red jelly with rocket ships suspended in the centre and even prefabricated moon pies are all excellent options. Mix vodka, blue curacao, grenadine, cranberry juice, and sours for a Purple People Eater cocktail at a party for elder Earthlings.
There are more than enough stories, legends, and actual scientific discoveries about UFOs and space exploration to keep you occupied for an entire day. Use the power of the internet to distinguish between fact and fiction, and formulate your own hypotheses as to whether the truth exists. Before retiring for the night, conclude the evening by stargazing. One never knows what one may observe.
Try watching a few UFO films from varying eras, depending on how far you want to go back. The Flash Gordon-types of the 1930s defined the genre. The typical 1950s and 1960s Martian marauders story may be a bit campy for you, but you could host a Mystery Science Theatre 3000-style viewing party and let the heckling commence. Or, take your choice from the visually stunning films of the last few decades, relax, and blast off.
