The articles, the opinions, the stories, the poems and the cartoons Ovi magazine covers for Saturday July 2nd, 2022 – World UFO Day
World UFO Day is an awareness day for people to gather together and watch the skies for unidentified flying objects (UFO). The day is celebrated by some on June 24, and others on July 2.

The stated goal of the July 2 celebration is to raise awareness of “the undoubted existence of UFOs” and to encourage governments to declassify their files on UFO sightings.
