What is First Contact Day?
On April 5th, the first Contact Day in the future honors a fictional date in the future when an alien species visits Earth and makes contact with Earthlings for the first time.
Although the fictional date of 2063 is less than half a decade away, mere humans contemplate the possibilities the more we explore space. Not only does the modern explorer keep our curiosity piqued, but the science fiction genre continues to pour out stories that thrill and inspire us.
One of science fiction's most popular topics depicts the first meeting between humans and extraterrestrials. Area 51 has been disputed by conspiracy theories, but a common one claims that the first contact was made there. UFOs also sparked concerns about the first contact. The first documented sighting of a UFO in 1639 was documented by John Winthrop, governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony. The first documented sighting of a UFO occurred in 1639.
This celebration, while commemorating the first contact could mean many things, this one focuses on one specific – the Vulcan/humankind meeting. That's correct. That's right. It's a "final frontier" kind of celebration. ''
