History of Star Trek First Contact Day

Star Trek First Contact Day is celebrated on April 5 purely because it is the birthday of the oldest son of the film’s co-writer, Ronald D. Moore. First Contact Day is the day when humans and Vulcans make their first interaction in 2063. On the night of the day, Vulcans land in Bozeman, Montana using their spaceship T’Plana-Hath. They land on the earth by tracking the first human-made spacecraft, Phoenix. Later a robbed Vulcan makes its appearance with Dr. Zefram Cochrane, the pilot of the Phoenix by displaying the split-fingered Vulcan greeting. According to the film Star Trek: First Contact,  humans will be visited by a team of Vulcans on April 5th, 2063.
