MCPL Hosts Program on Michigan's 1966 "Swamp Gas" UFO Thurs., April 22, 7-9 pm

MCGG is helping our favorite library, Mount Clemens Public Library, publicize a few of its upcoming programs.

Join MCPL via Zoom on Thursday, April 22, 2021, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. for a program on "UFOs" involving Michigan.

For two weeks in late March 1966, hundreds of credible witnesses in southeastern Michigan reported close-up sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects. When the government's UFO expert dismissed these reports as "marsh gas" it triggered a Congressional investigation.

Join award winning author and 40-year Wright-Patterson Air Force Base employee, Ray Szymanski, as he uses official government records and new witness testimony to unmask the truth about a string of mid-60's UFOs, and solves the 55-year old Michigan "Swamp Gas" UFO mystery.

"Where Do I Go From Here?" is Our Next MCGG Virtual Meeting Topic, this Wednesday, April 14 at 7 p.m. Join Us!

Our next MCGG and Let's Talk...Genealogy groups combined virtual meeting is this Wednesday, April 14, 2021, at 7 p.m. using Zoom Meeting. The topic of the meeting is  ... Where Do I Go From Here?

Bring research questions, brick walls, or new finds to share with the group! Let's share our challenges, maybe someone will have an idea to solve them.

Why is this our most popular discussion topic? Because it is your opportunity to get your questions or problems hopefully answered. But not just from one point of view but often several. And, when you have a new genealogy find you have like-minded genealogists who understand that satisfaction when maybe family members do not.

MCGG members on the mailing list will receive the Zoom Meeting invite in the reminder email to be sent prior to the meeting. New attendees can obtain the invite link using the Library Events calendar on the website of the Mount Clemens Public Library. 

New attendees are always welcome.
