Today marks a celebration of the UFO phenomenon as well as a renewed effort to increase awareness of it.
UFO fans from around the world have been out in force today to celebrate the occasion and to help encourage world governments to disclose what they know about UFOs.

"Our main vision is to take a worldwide celebrated holiday and make people aware of the UFO phenomenon during this day," the event's organizers have written on their official website.
"We see a future in which UFOs aren't speculations anymore, but part of daily life."

Those looking to take part have been asked to spread the word about the subject by talking to friends, organizing get-togethers or by going UFO spotting with a group of like-minded individuals.

"The most important thing is that people collectively open their minds to the subject for one day and send out the message mentally that UFO's are welcome on this earth," the website states.

Our Government won't say a word! GUILTY! There hiding something and we all know what it is. If a cop pulled over the Gov. and the cops had all the evidence and the gov. said we don't know nothing. The gov. would be going to jail. Least of all, going to jail for being ignorant and being stupid!!!

By amateur astronomers. Amateur. If anything was seen in space coming to or near earth, its those guys who's most likely find it first

I think you are watching too much Science Fiction, you should really scale your imagination back a little and let some of the objective reality surrounding you sink in and set a bit. Cheers, Badeskov

If you have said evidence, and you must do if you KNOW dat ebil Gubbermint is guilty, where is it? Why are you so goddamn useless that you cannot do anything with this all important breaking information? Nothing do with you making it all up I suppose?

In 1968, I was a little kid. My sisters were having a girl party. They came in to the house from the porch saying "We think we see a UFO" Looking south from a hill top in Bismark, North Dakota. We all saw a very large cigar shaped white object about 4+ miles away, just above the tree line. One of the girls said to call the police and another said NO. We ended up calling the city airport control tower. So the girls handed me the phone. Yep. A 7 or 8 year old kid.(Me.) The man on the phone said. "Control tower." I asked him if he had anything on the radar. He said no.(Small airport.) I asked him... [More]

I can't believe a radar operator would hang up on a child when there's , I'm sure, absolutely nothing else is going on in the radar tower. Don't get me wrong he should go to jail too and be sweated down along with the government.

I find it hard to believe a child could get the number....and be put through to, a control tower, full stop Ok things were different back then... but still...
