Three neat facts:

1497 - Vasco da Gama sets sail on first direct European voyage to India.
1680 - The first confirmed tornado in America kills a servant at Cambridge, Massachusetts.
1947 - Reports are broadcast that a UFO has crash landed in Roswell, New Mexico.

Two births:

1951 - Anjelica Huston, American actor
1958 - Kevin Bacon, American actor
(I wouldn't necessarily have picked actors, but I didn't know who the other people were.)

And one death:

1822 - Percy Bysshe Shelley, English poet (b. 1792)
