The Maury Island UFO Incident is one of the seminal episodes that launched the modern era of Flying Saucers, UFO's, crop circles, cattle mutiliations, hive activity, conspiracies, underground bases, pacts with The Greys, Majestic 12, and all the rest.
The Maury Island incident occurred in the summer of 1947 in the Puget Sound area. . .just a couple of miles from where I write this. Maury Island is located near the much larger Vashon Island, in Puget Sound, just off the Seattle coastline. The most incredible part of the Maury Island mystery is that it happened exactly two weeks before the famous Roswell UFO
crash. Shorty after Maury Island was when Kenneth Arnold saw an armada of UFOs over Mt. Rainier (about 60 miles southeast of Seattle). The Maury Island incident was capped by the crash of a B-25 Bomber and the deaths of two military intelligence officers. This bomber was allegedly carrying slag, wreckage, and other rubble from the Maury Island incident. Incredibly enough, this was the very first time a United States Air Force plane had ever crashed.
On the afternoon of June 21, 1947, Harold Dahl saw UFOs over Maury Island. He and his son were salvaging logs with a crew in Puget Sound just off Maury when they saw six doughnut shaped disks hover over the sound. One disk wobbled and seemed to be in trouble. The UFO descended in altitude to 500 feet above the water and was joined by five other saucers. The foundering disk dropped what looked like aluminum metal on the beach, followed by black slag. The slag wounded Dahl's son Charles and killed their dog.
Kenneth Arnold's UFO sighting happened an incredible three days later on June 24. A pilot and Federal Marshall, Kenneth Arnold, saw nine disks skip over the north face of Mt. Rainier. It was upon this was the sighting what newspapers coined the term Flying Saucer. Arnold was interviewed by local and national press (including Edward R. Murrow), and the story made headlines around the world
Kenneth Arnold was lit up on UFOs after his sighting and he responded to a request by Ray Palmer—a Chicago editor—to investigate the Maury Island sighting. Lt. Frank Brown and Capt. Davidson met with Kenneth Arnold and Harold Dahl and collected all the fragments of rock to take back with them to Hamilton Field. Their plane allegedly loaded with alien artifacts, as I mentioned earlier, crashed (See Alien Lore No. 105 for more on the crash--forthcoming).
A couple of weeks later, on July 2, 1947, an object crash landed on a ranch, approximately 75 miles northwest of Roswell, New Mexico, leaving a large field of debris and fully catapulting UFOs into the popular imagination.
