March 17th - Air Kraken Day!!!

What is Air Kraken Day?
Air Kraken Day was established in 2007 as a way to celebrate the 1903 Air Kraken attack (as seen above) on March 17th.  Many folks celebrate with squid food, flying squid kites, making squidy things, or by taking their pet squids for a walk.

Often times stories appear about people seeing Air Krakens or even battling Air Krakens.  Art of Air Krakens has slowly started to emerge.

Read about the Air Kraken in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Horror of the Heights (1913).
