First Contact Day - April 5
Wed Apr 5th

First Contact Day

On April 5th, the First Contact Day in the United States 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 do the modern explorers keep our curiosity piqued, but the science fiction genre continues to pour out stories that inspire and inspire us.

The first meeting between humans and extraterrestrials is depicted in one of science fiction's most popular themes. Area 51 is surrounded by conspiracy theories, but a common one claims that the first contact was made there. UFOs are also fueling rumors about the first contact. The first documented sighting of a UFO in 1639 was documented by John Winthrop, governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Although commemorating the first contact could mean many things, this commemoration focuses on one specific – the Vulcan/humankind meeting. That's correct. It's a "final frontier" kind of celebration.
