Are you intrigued by UFO phenomenon? Do you wonder about what鈥檚 going on with UFOs in Michigan?

Everyone is invited to learn more during 鈥�UFOs Over Michigan鈥� presented by Bill Konkolesky as part of the MCC Reads program on Tuesday, March 14, from 6 to 7 p.m. in rooms D303-305 in the Beatrice E. Doser Building on the college鈥檚 Sidney 麻豆映画传媒. Admission is free and refreshments will be provided.

As State Director for the Michigan Chapter of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), the world鈥檚 largest civilian research organization, Konkolesky will provide a context for those who believe in UFO sightings and those who are skeptical.

Michigan has some of the largest UFO cases on file, including hundreds of eyewitnesses reported at the 1966 Southeast Michigan and 1994 Grand Rapids sightings.

MCC Library Director Katie Arwood, who is coordinating the event, said the program complements the MCC Reads selection 鈥淭he Anthropocene Reviewed鈥� by John Green.

鈥淚 am 100 percent confident that Bill鈥檚 鈥�UFOs Over Michigan鈥� will be an eye-opening presentation, full of facts and wonder,鈥� Arwood said, adding that she expects an 鈥渆vent that will wow the attendees and help them gain new perspectives about UFO phenomena.鈥�

According to Konkolesky, Michigan currently gets more than 200 UFO sighting reports per year on average.

鈥淲hen a UFO witness reports a sighting to MUFON, an investigator follows up with them,鈥� he said, adding, 鈥淚f you see a UFO, report it to MUFON. If you want to investigate UFOs, join MUFON.鈥�

Konkolesky has also served as a consultant to Netflix鈥檚 鈥淯nsolved Mysteries,鈥� the History Channel鈥檚 鈥淗angar 1鈥� and 鈥淯FO Hunters,鈥� National Geographic Channel鈥檚 鈥淭he Truth Behind,鈥� as well as the Science Channel鈥檚 鈥淯ncovering Aliens鈥� and 鈥淐lose Encounters.鈥�
