'World Contact Day' Turns 65

Today marks the 65th edition of an odd 'holiday' which boasts an even stranger origin story: 'World Contact Day.'

It all started during the nascent days of UFO research, back in 1953,  when a group known as the 'International Flying Saucer Bureau' decided  to attempt contact with the presumed occupants of these craft.

Lead by one of the more colorful characters in UFO history, Albert  Bender, the IFSB proceeded to pen a message to the "occupants of interplanetary craft."

The plan put forward by the IFSB was to send this call for contact to the flying  saucer occupants via telepathy and, by harnessing the power of their  hundreds of members, hopefully produce a powerful signal, of sorts.

Find out more about the truly bizarre backstory to 'World Contact Day,' including how it inspired a song from the Carpenters, at the Coast to Coast AM website.
