June 24th and July 2nd are the two disputed World UFO days each year.

I prefer the anniversary of The Kenneth Arnold UFO sighting that occurred on June 24, 1947, when private pilot Kenneth Arnold claimed that he saw a string of nine, shiny unidentified flying objects flying past Mount Rainier at speeds that Arnold estimated at a minimum of 1,200 miles an hour (1,932 km/h). This was the first post-World War II sighting in the United States that garnered nationwide news coverage and is credited with being the first of the modern era of UFO sightings, including numerous reported sightings over the next two to three weeks. Arnold's description of the objects also led to the press quickly coining the terms "flying saucer" and "flying disc" as popular descriptive terms for UFOs.

The two footnotes in the question seem like an unnecessary complication. Keep it brief and clear.

I don't think this needs a comma: on the planet Earth

@Peter_pbn​, Corrected. I left the detailed condition parameters in the thread notes, but stripped the question  to the basics in the list / poll version.
