Maury Island Incident

The Maury Island incident of June 1947 is one of the earliest cases of the modern UFO era, predating Kenneth Arnold's famous sighting by days and tangled up with it through investigator Fred Crisman. Harbor patrolman Harold Dahl claimed a flying disc dropped slag-like debris over Puget Sound near Tacoma, Washington. The FBI compiled the reports into its flying-disc file, and the case turned tragic when a B-25 carrying alleged disc material crashed. Explore the declassified records below.
