World Contact Day is an event that originated in the 1950s within the UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) community. It is based on the idea that on March 15th, 1957, at 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, an extraterrestrial spacecraft would make contact with humanity. The event was initially proposed by an organization called the International Flying Saucer Bureau.
The purpose of World Contact Day was for people around the world to come together in thought and meditation, focusing on sending a message of peace and goodwill to potential extraterrestrial civilizations. The belief was that by collectively concentrating their minds on this goal, humanity could establish peaceful contact with advanced beings from other planets.
While the event was rooted in the UFO subculture and the belief in extraterrestrial life, it has evolved over time and is now observed by some as a day to contemplate the idea of interstellar communication and the possibility of life beyond Earth. However, it is not widely recognized or celebrated in mainstream culture.
World Contact Day serves as a reminder of humanity's curiosity about the cosmos and our ongoing quest to explore the unknown, including the potential for contact with intelligent beings from other worlds.
