In an effort to explore the unknown and unravel the universe’s greatest mysteries, we celebrate World UFO Day. Official science has yet to provide definitive answers about the existence of life on other planets or in other galaxies.
History
In the mid-20th century, evidence of extraterrestrials began to emerge in different parts of the world. Mysterious aerial objects, glowing phenomena in the sky, and spherical signs captured the attention of the scientific community and amazed the public. Some fortunate individuals managed to capture these objects on film, leading to extensive study and investigation. However, skeptics remain unconvinced, and conclusive proof has yet to be established. World UFO Day is an opportunity to inform people, spark curiosity, and encourage discussions based on available facts.
