26 February was a date.

In 1935, the first ever radar test took place at Daventry. According to the Seventh Doctor, the British did not yet have access to radar at that point and this day simply marked "the first time that a radar echo was ever detected." (PROSE: Just War [+]Lance Parkin, Virgin New Adventures (Virgin Books, 1996).)

In 2085, the first official contact between humans and an extraterrestrial intelligence occurred. (PROSE: Time Traveller's Diary [+]Chris Farnell, BBC Children's Books (2020).)
