Flying objects and shrunken heads: World UFO Day feted amid surge in sightings, government denials

📍 Location

📝 Description

World UFO Day was marked on July 2, 2024 across the United States amid a surge of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) coverage and renewed government scrutiny. An Associated Press-backed roundup noted Roswell-era lore, recent government investigations into UAPs, and new developments such as a Mexican congressional hearing featuring alleged nonhuman remains, a NASA official overseeing unidentified aerial phenomena research, and public comments by a former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer about a program to retrieve and reverse engineer UAPs. The piece emphasizes that, despite significant public and media interest, authorities have repeatedly stated there is no evidence of extraterrestrial activity, with the Pentagon denying such programs and scientists expressing skepticism about the presented evidence, including the Nazca mummies referenced in the Mexican hearing.
