SignificanceA day celebrating UFOs.
CelebrationsSky-watching
DateJune 24th or July 2nd

World UFO Day is a day in which individuals and groups are encouraged to gather together to watch the skies for Unidentified Flying Objects. World UFO Day was first celebrated in 2001.

June 24th was selected as World UFO Day because the first UFO report that was widely reported took place on June 24th 1947. This UFO sighting was reported by Kenneth Arnold. He reported spotting nine unusual objects flying in a chain near Mount Rainier on that day.

An alternative date for World UFO Day is July 2nd, to commemorate the date of the supposed UFO crash in the 1947 Roswell UFO Incident.

Since then, millions of people have reported that they have seen UFOs.
