October 22nd marks the anniversary of a strange and unexplained phenomenon known as the "Maury Island Incident." This bizarre event took place in 1947, just a few days before the infamous Roswell UFO crash.
On June 21, 1947, Harold Dahl, his son, and their dog were on a boat near Maury Island in Puget Sound, Washington. They claimed to have witnessed six donut-shaped crafts, about 100 feet in diameter, hovering above the water. One of the crafts appeared to be in distress and dropped a substance that resembled molten metal, which hit their boat, killed their dog, and injured Dahl's son.
Dahl reported the incident to his supervisor, Fred Crisman, who later claimed to have gone to the island and observed strange debris scattered across the beach. The story caught the attention of a UFO investigator named Ray Palmer, who sent two investigators, Harold Dahl and Fred Crisman, to interview the witnesses and collect evidence.
The U.S. Air Force also got involved, sending two officers to investigate the claims. However, the officers' plane crashed on their way back, killing both men and destroying the alleged evidence they had collected.
The Maury Island Incident remains a topic of debate among UFO enthusiasts. Some believe it was a genuine UFO encounter, while others dismiss it as a hoax. The mysterious deaths of the Air Force officers and the subsequent disappearance of the alleged debris have only fueled the conspiracy theories surrounding this event.
Despite the lack of concrete evidence, the Maury Island Incident continues to be one of the most intriguing and perplexing UFO cases in history, and its anniversary on October 22nd serves as a reminder of the enduring mystery surrounding unexplained phenomena.
