World UFO Day

World UFO Day is an awareness day for people to gather together and watch the skies for unidentified flying objects. The day is celebrated by some on June 24, and others on July 2. June 24 is the date that aviator Kenneth Arnold reported what is generally considered to be the first widely reported unidentified flying object sighting in the United States,[1] while July 2 commemorates the supposed UFO crash in the 1947 Roswell UFO Incident.[2][3]

The stated goal of the July 2 celebration is to raise awareness of "the undoubted existence of UFOs"[4] and to encourage governments to declassify their files on UFO sightings.[5]

July 5 is X-day, which is much weirder.

By Kevin Knuth, Associate Professor of Physics. On an academic site. Serious shit!

Are we alone? The question is worthy of serious scientific study https://theconversation.com/are-we-alone-the-question-is-worthy-of-serious-scientific-study-98843

I have always been interested in UFOs. Of course, there was the excitement that there could be aliens and other living worlds. But more exciting to me was the possibility that interstellar travel was technologically achievable. In 1988, during my second week of graduate school at Montana State University, several students and I were discussing a recent cattle mutilation that was associated with UFOs. A physics professor joined the conversation and told us that he had colleagues working at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, Montana, where they were having problems with UFOs shutting down nuclear missiles. At the time I thought this professor was talking nonsense. But 20 years later, I was stunned to see a recording of a press conference featuring several former US Air Force personnel, with a couple from Malmstrom AFB, describing similar occurrences in the 1960s. Clearly there must be something to this.

Now for something completely different! Which British science fiction caper concerns a Martian dominatrix whose craft lands in the Scottish Highlands?
