While New Mexico has gained worldwide notoriety for the UFO at Roswell -
the lesser-known incidents at Aztec have flown under the radar!
Join us in the Pioneer Village as we step back in time to postwar
America's UFO craze and delve into UFO encounters right here in Aztec.
What is fact? What is fiction? What do you think?
Our presenter: Michael Mongeau is the reference/instruction librarian

eventually taking that passion to Arizona State University: Barret, The
Honors College, earning a degree in History with a minor in American
Indian Studies. In Arizona, Michael worked for various museums and
libraries including the Heard Museum Library, Phoenix Trolley Museum,
and Pueblo Grande Museum. Eventually, Michael took his passion for
libraries to Boston, where he would study at Simmons University, earning

archives) and History. In Boston, they worked for various institutions,

Rogerson Communities. Today, Michael also serves as secretary of the
