Default Was there a World Contact day #2 ??

Listening to Carpenter's Calling occupants of interplanetary craft, I started to research about this song, foundig it was the official anthem of World Contact day. What was that?? Well, read...

ALL OFFICERS, REPRESENTATIVES AND MEMBERS OF THE INTERNATIONAL FLYING SAUCER BUREAU
SPECIAL BULLETIN: March 15, 1953 is C-Day (Contact Day)
"On March 15, 1953, all officers, representatives and members are asked to participate in an experiment, something that has not yet been attempted by any other group such as ours. We will attempt to send a message to the occupants of the saucers (if they exist) by the use of mental telepathy. Each member will memorize the message on this form, and on the time designated will close his eyes in a quiet secluded spot, lie down if possible, and repeat this message in his mind (do not repeat vocally). If the saucer people are able to pick up mental telepathy they certainly will be able to pick up a message that will be sent by hundreds of IFSB members. We may never know if this message has reached anyone, but if a sudden flurry of saucer sightings occurs in 1953 or soon after our message, or even a saucer landing, we will know that we may have been indirectly responsible for it.

Have no clue, but the Carpenter's version of "Calling Occupants..." was a cover...the original version was done by the Canadian band "Klaatu" (originally rumoured to be the Beatles reunited under a pseudonym).

It must've been used for the anthem of Day #2, because the song (and album) wasn't released until August 1976...23 years after the first "Contact Day".

Yes, and the alians showed up. Paris Hilton is one of their experiments that didn't work.
