2023 – UFOs. World UFO Day is celebrated in commemoration of the date in 1947 when the “Roswell incident” occurred.
Also known as the “Roswell case”, the date recalls the alleged fall of an alien ship on the land of a ranch in that town in the state of New Mexico.
Those who believe and study extraterrestrial theories consider that this case was one of the most important ufological events, since from this event the history of modern ufology began.
Roswell case: the discovery that marks World UFO Day
That July 2, 76 years ago, farmer Mac Brazel found the object on his ranch. On the 8th of the same month, the local newspaper, Roswell Daily Record, had as its main headline “Military captured remains of a flying saucer”.
The find was initially reported to George Wilcox, the town sheriff. Upon seeing the object, Wilcox alerted the nearest military authorities. That’s how Jesse Marcel, a mid-ranking military man, went to the farmer’s property and picked up what had fallen to be studied.
However, he was not alone: he was accompanied by two secret service agents. As confirmed by military sources to the local media, a general had recognized that they were the remains of a spacecraft.

The next day, the Roswell Daily Record denied itself, headlining: “Ramsey Clarifies That The Flying Saucer Isn’t True.” Ramsey was a general in charge of a base in Texas. As they explained, the general recognized what was found as the remains of a weather balloon. Or at least that was what he said.
That was the starting point of a great story of mysteries, alien life, and conspiracy theories that still attract the attention of many people around the globe today.
