History and Significance
According to aviator Kenneth Arnold, nine unusual objects reportedly flew over Washington on 24 June in the early 1900s. These were then described as “saucer-like” or “a big flat disk”, which is now a symbol of imagined alien spacecraft.
The day is celebrated with an aim to raise awareness about the undoubted existence of UFOs, and also the intelligent beings from outer space.
The day aims to encourage governments to declassify their knowledge about the UFO sightings throughout history. Many governments, including the US government for instance, are believed to have exclusive information about UFOs through their military departments.
