LITCHFIELD — The Orange-based Smoking Gun Research Agency (SGRA) will host new classes, “Exploring Unsolved Mysteries,” as part of the Foothills Continuing Education programs in Litchfield, Southbury and Thomaston in October.
The classes will be led by SGRA Director Jon Nowinski, and members of the SGRA staff will provide participants of the class a detailed overview of what Mr. Nowinski considers the philosophy, history and methodology of investigating the unexplained.
The sessions will be at Pomperaug Regional High School, in Southbury, Education Connection in Litchfield and Thomaston High School in Thomaston.
“Many people have seen the way the paranormal is depicted on T.V., but as with most programs, that’s not always realistic,” Nowinski said. “Our aim is to give participants in the class insight into how SGRA examines the unexplained, from our reasons and philospohy to how we actually conduct investigations, to a look at cases that both were able to be explained as well as remind unexplained.”
Nowinski said an example is the recent sightings of an unidentified lights in the Woodbury area and the Bantam Lake "UFO" incident and how the investivation team went about examining astronomical, atmospheric, avaition and other possibilities to see if they could determine the cause. The Woodbury case remains unexplained, while there is still a reasonable explanation to the Bantam Lake case.
In July there was report of a hovering, glowing red craft, paired with a hovering white orb in Woodbury. In April, Nowinski used his expertise on a Litchfield County Roswell-style story — in June, residents reported seeing a glowing green object fall into Bantam Lake in Morris around 2 a.m. An unidentified motorist who was near the lake called State Police at the Troop L barracks in Litchfield to report seeing a green, whale-sized object fall into the lake.
Such a report doesn’t necessarily suggest credibility — given that the motorist didn’t stick around and apparently didn’t call back — but an on-duty State Police trooper some 10 miles away in Warren also called the barracks to report seeing a large object fall from the sky over Bantam and Morris.
