“The Maury Island Incident” will be a short film based on a long-forgotten UFO encounter that happened off Maury Island, WA on June 21, 1947.
This often-overlooked incident happened just two days before Ken Arnold’s Mount Rainier sighting, which spawned the phrase ‘flying saucers,’ and 16 days before the infamous Roswell crash.
It also included what is considered by many experts to be the first “Men in Black” encounter as well.
We are basing our script on FBI investigative documents that were declassified in 1997 – 50 years after the incident.
This film will be produced and shot locally in the Burien, Des Moines, Maury Island and Tacoma area starting in June, 2013…and YOU can help – simply donate online by clicking the button below:
