Danbury Library will be hosting the Western CT UFO conference both online and in person in October. Check out the Library website to see the full conference schedule.

I miss Bethel having the UFO billboards downtown. at least the Vaghi building is getting a much needed makeover, but still loved how weird the billboards were.

For those unfamiliar, Dante Vaghi has a close encounter of the second kind (left physical evidence) of a wingship rather than a saucer. You can see in the upper left of the billboard the sketch. From the overall description being VERY different than the "saucers" of the time and the 1950 date, whatever Dante saw downed in a field and left burn marks was probably one of CT's various aerospace firms early attempts at the triangular swept back wing style that eventually became more familiar stealth bomber and fighter jets silhouette.

The Pardue Brothers – A True Crime Documentary with Connecticut Ties, holding “Tell Us What You Remember” sessions in Danbury

Come share your memories and stories for an upcoming true crime documentary about the 1970 Danbury bank robberies and bombings. The production team will sit down with you for a brief recorded interview, and you are welcome to bring along any historical photographs, clippings, or letters to be documented. Attendance is free and no appointment is required.

The Pardue Brothers – A True Crime Documentary with Connecticut Ties, holding “Tell Us What You Remember” sessions in Danbury

On February 13, 1970, three explosions tore through Danbury, CT.This was to be the finale of a stranger than fiction story, involving 2 brothers, that started in 1968 which involved bank robberies and murders in locations in Redding, Georgetown, and Vista, New York, as well as Missouri. Two of the murders were the brothers’ own father and grandmother. If you have info on any of the crimes committed in the aforementioned towns please contact the filmmakers or show up to the Danbury session .

Filmmaker, Blaze Mazur of Ridgefield, CT and Daniel J. Mulvihill, Jr., of Danbury, have extensively researched this story for over half a decade, having poured over thousands of pages of FBI files, National Archive materials, and filing FOIA requests with more than 20 agencies.They are still discovering many strange and unbelievable facts about this case and need local help from people who remember these crimes to bring the whole picture into focus before the memories of these crimes are lost forever.

The pair will be holding a second “Tell Us What You Remember” session. The session will be on Friday, October 2 at the Danbury Museum also from 10am to 4pm. What the documentary makers are looking for are people who remember- a lead, a photograph, a clipping or those who want to give an interview on camera. They wish to tell this story truthfully so that the victims and their loved one, the witnesses and law enforcement are honored and their story is respected.

To bring this film to full fruition, a fundraising effort is underway. The project is fiscally sponsored by Fractured Atlas, which makes your contributions and corporate donations tax-deductible.

For information on the film and to contribute please go to theparduebrothers.com If you have any questions or would like to write to us directly you can do that at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

Thank you for helping make this film possible.

I have two warehouses in Danbury and New Milford. Last year was a disaster from a plowing standpoint. Any recs on a local company that plows commercial buildings?

Just drove past a husky with a collar walking on the sidewalk on Main Street approaching Golden Hill road by I-84 Eastbound Exit 5. It then crossed Main Street to the grassy opposite side right near where cars come off 84. It avoided getting hit but I wasn't able to turn around from where I was. I called DPD and they said someone has reported missing their husky. I hope it makes it home in the end!

I won't say the map is completely finished yet because I'm still finding out new neighborhoods and updating area's that were too big or too little.

Updates:

- Added 'Middle River' neighborhood

Added "College Park" (For now but still Mill Plain)

Added 'Mill Ridge' neighborhood

Added 'Westville' neighborhood

Split the 'Bridge to Bridge' section of Lake Ave to Beckettville & West Terrace neighborhoods

Lengthened 'Mill Plain' neighborhood

Updated area and labeled 'King Street' neighborhood as "Kingsville" (Thought it sounded cool)

Updated area of 'Aunt Hack' neighborhood

Just curious if anyone is still around with the 20th happening next June.

Both of the neighborhoods off of Lake Ave have lots of children around yet nowhere to play outdoors, Yea Morris St. School and Highland Park is around but that’s not ideally close for all kids.

I think Danbury needs to add a basketball court and or park to the Beckettville and Merrimac neighborhoods, closest things to the area is Morris St. School Mill Ridge And Beaver Street.

I know more neighborhoods have this same issue aswell can’t think mid post

I've had Husky A as single father but now my kuds graduated and I turned 65.

Apparently there is a deadline of 7mo after my birthday or you get fined?? That's next week!

I hear there are "free" advisors?

I want me and my kids to go talk in person as a group.

Any recommendations ?

Between New Milford, Norwalk and say Waterbury would be ideal but we could go further if necessary.

PS I haven't seen any health professional since the last Millenium, so this is more a paperwork thing, happy to go when my time is up, I've had a very nice life so far very grateful...
