Extraterrestrial Culture Day
Every year, on the second Tuesday of February, a unique celebration takes place that encourages us to look beyond our own world and consider the possibilities of life beyond Earth. This celebration is known as Extraterrestrial Culture Day. It’s a day dedicated to recognizing the existence of extraterrestrial cultures, and our relationship with the cosmos. It’s a day to ponder the mysteries of the universe, and to appreciate the vastness of the cosmos and our place within it. It’s a day to celebrate and honor all past, present, and future extraterrestrial travelers, in an effort to strengthen ties between all known and unknown citizens of the universe.
History of Extraterrestrial Culture Day
Extraterrestrial Culture Day has a fascinating history that is deeply rooted in one of the most famous UFO incidents in the world. The day was created by the New Mexico Legislature in 2003. The day was proposed by Daniel Foley, a native of Roswell, New Mexico. Roswell is a place that has become synonymous with UFOs and extraterrestrial life due to the famous Roswell Incident in 1947. Foley believed that acknowledging something that “did or did not happen” decades ago would contribute to the recognition of New Mexico and its unique place in the history of UFO phenomena.
The Roswell Incident, as it’s known, occurred on July 8, 1947, during a severe storm. An unidentified flying object reportedly crashed near the home of rancher William Ware Mack Brazel. The incident would have remained unknown to the general public if not for Brazel, who discovered fragments of metal and a large number of unusual substances that regained their original form even after being crumpled and rearranged. Government scientists later determined that a weather balloon had crashed, but the incident remains shrouded in mystery and intrigue. Major Marcel, who was involved in the incident, asserted that the US government concealed the existence of the alien aircraft. Still, the 1947 Roswell incident remains unexplained and mysterious, fueling speculation and theories about extraterrestrial life.
