The Truth About Roswell ON ZOOM (*RR)
Tuesday, July 21, 7pm
It's been over 70 years since the Roswell Daily Record first blared the viral headline "RAAF Captures Flying Saucer On Ranch in Roswell Region" on July 8th, 1947. Join five-time Boston/New England Emmy Award-winning folklorist John Horrigan as he presents a new chronology of the events that lead to speculation of an alleged UFO crash. John will reveal previously undisclosed details of the fantastic tale along with refuted testimonies, culled from his own exploration trips to the region in 1995, 1996 and 1997. John Horrigan is the host and co-creator of "The Folklorist" television series, which offers a captivating look at some of the lesser-known occurrences in history. John has won five Boston/New England Emmy Awards for his role on the show. He is also a prolific professional sports announcer, narrator, historical researcher and lecturer who has performed in over 2,500 venues across North America. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library and the Tewksbury Cultural Council, a local agency, which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

Hubble Scape Telescope & Astronomy ON ZOOM (*RR)
Thursday, July 23, 7pm

See some breathtaking photos of the universe as seen through the eyes of the Hubble telescope. Robert Gonsalves, Ph.D., is a nationally renowned expert in the field of image processing. In 1990, Gonsalves helped NASA fix the Hubble Telescope by calculating a prescription to correct an optics flaw. He more recently served as an optics advisor to NASA for the James Webb Space Telescope.
