PROGRAM

Our speaker was Michael Panicello. Michael has been the Director of the Connecticut Chapter of M U F O N “ Mutual Unidentified Flying Objects Network”, since 2013. The subject is timely as we have been hearing a great deal about UFO’s recently, CBS 60 Minutes, Senate investigations, etal.

Michael says he is a realist on the subject of sightings, with 90% unknown, 8% classified, and 2% possibly true UFO’s.

There have been many sightings in Connecticut, along the New York border and near Bradley Field. It appears that sightings are common around nuclear storage sites.
