Fishtown’s paranormal bookstore and art gallery GERM Books and Gallery, L.L.C. (see our review, here) will host Philadelphia UFO Awareness Day this Sunday, July 13th.

The store, located at 2005 Franklin St., might be the only place celebrating this historic holiday, but they’ll have PA’s MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) chapter on hand to answer questions, sign-up new members and record confidential UFO incident reports. The event runs all day (10-5), and there will be a Powerpoint presentation by PAMUFON sometime close to 1pm.

Check out PAMUFON’s or GERM’s event pages for some more details, but it looks like the government’s keeping this one under pretty close to top secret.
