World Contact Day was first declared on March 1953 by an organization called the International Flying Saucer Bureau as a day on which all IFSB members would attempt to send a telepathic message into space.The IFSB voted to hold such a day in 1953 theorising that if both telepathy and alien life were real a large number of people focussing on an identical piece of text may be able to transmit the message through space.
