Unidentified flying objects (UFOs), aliens, and extraterrestrial objects have always piqued the interest of humans. Do you know, that there is a special day dedicated to these extraterrestrial beings?

Each year, February 14 is celebrated as Extraterrestrial Cultural Day.

The day exists to "celebrate and honor all past, present, and future extraterrestrial visitors in ways to enhance relationships among all citizens of the cosmos, known and unknown," according to the bill that introduced the day in the US.

Any flying object that you see in the sky but can not confirm its identity is a UFO. Many conspiracy theorists believe that such unidentifiable objects are actually alien spaceships that arrive on earth from a different planet.
