Maury Island UFO Incident Mural: A 1947 Puget Sound Mystery on Seattle Southside's UFO Mysteries Trail

To the point

A mural in Des Moines, Washington, recounts the 1947 Maury Island UFO incident in which Harold Dahl and Fred Crisman claimed six large flying discs dropped molten slag that scorched Dahl and killed a dog named Sparky, forced the North Queen to beach, and was followed by a warning from a man in black; two Army intelligence officers, Captain William Davidson and Lieutenant Frank Brown, investigated, collecting slag samples from a B-25 that reportedly burned with the officers inside; Dahl later admitted fabrication, leaving the tale muddled; commissioned by John White and created by Nancy and Zach Pahl, it invites visitors to explore the case on Seattle Southside’s UFO Mysteries Trail at 605 S 223rd St, Des Moines, WA 98198, with a related video by Steve Edmiston and Quadrant 45 offering a broader look.
