Alien Abduction Day

Alien Abduction Day is an annual American holiday commemorating alien abductions. We don’t know much about extraterrestrial races. Some researchers argue that aliens really exist, while others are skeptical and believe that Earth is the only planet inhabited by living and sentient beings. The holiday is on March 20.

History

The history of Alien Abduction Day is not reliably known. Many believe that it became popular in 2008 and is an extension of the festival of the same name that takes place in Toronto.

In general, the topic of alien abductions contains a huge amount of information. Thousands of people have claimed to have come into contact with aliens, to have been abducted by them, and to have been brought back. Some claim a horrifying experience (they took tests, conducted research, even had cases of scars on the body), while others say that everything was fine—the aliens were just asking about our planet and people. Researchers are skeptical of such information, as they believe that most of them are simply fictitious; others may be the result of self-induced or mental disorders.

The first documented case of alien abduction is considered to be the story described by D. Winthrop in 1639 in his diary. It tells the story of James Everell, who was sailing on a boat with his friends. A beam of light appeared from above, changing shape and gradually approaching them. After the light disappeared, people could not remember how they had swum to the place, as if part of the memory had been deleted. Interestingly, several other people saw a strange glow in those places described in the diary.

Interesting facts
