Description
History of UFO’s in Connecticut: Past and Present. Often members of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) Connecticut Chapter are asked to talk about UFO sightings in Connecticut. Therefore, our presentation will look at some of the current and historical UFO sightings in the state of Connecticut, as well as, in the surrounding area. People are often amazed to hear that Connecticut has a rich history of unknown UFO sightings and events. We will look at some of these cases and explain why they are unknown and what makes them excellent examples of potential non-humanoid, not of this world, crafts. In addition, we will have an open forum for people to discuss any UFO sightings they would like us to document for the historical record.
