World UFO Day is an awareness day for science fiction aficionados to gather together and
watch the skies for unidentified flying objects.
Some people celebrate the UFO Day on June 24, others on July 2. Why two different dates? June 24 is the date that
the aviator Kenneth Arnold reported what is generally considered to be the
first widely reported UFO sighting in the United
States. July 2, on the other hand, commemorates the alleged UFO crash in the famous 1947
Roswell UFO Incident.
The beginning of July normally is a time when people of Roswell, NM, are preparing to celebrate the annual UFO Festival. Visitors from all over the world descend on this quiet desert town. Not this year, though.
The 2020 Roswell UFO Festival has been
cancelled due to COVID-19. Nobody is happy about this. Local artists are desperate to keep their business alive. Everybody is struggling.
In times like these, one has to be inventive and so, the festival organizers resorted to online venues that include virtual costume contest. Popular gifts from Roswell can be bought online.
