Rainier, Wash., sparking worldwide speculation of government cover-ups and fear of extraterrestrial invasion.

Tips & Warnings
If you miss the first date, you can celebrate the alternate UFO day on July 2, the date of the Roswell Incident. On this date, also in 1947, a rancher in Roswell, N.M. found a strange metal object on his property. Military officials originally labeled the material as "unidentified," and later rescinded it. The main objective of this UFO day is to raise awareness of government cover-ups concerning UFOs and alien abductions.
