On 21 June 1947, near Maury Island, Washington there was an alleged sighting and claims of debris from a UFO involving Harold A Dahl with a related alleged sighting the following day by Dahl’s superior – Fred Lee Crisman.
Dahl and Crisman are often referred to as harbor patrolmen.
The incident is commonly referred to as “the
Claims to fame
This incident is Case 12 in Isaac Koi's "Top 100" article, since it was referred to in 99 of the books covered by that article.
Isaac Koi’s “ICES” Rating for this sighting = 4,368 (out of a potential score of 14*14*14*14 i.e. 38,416)
(1) “Impact” Rating of 14 (out of a potential score of 14), because it is Case 95 in Isaac Koi's "Top 100" article.
(2) “Credibility” Rating of 3 (out of a potential score of 14) because many researchers have put forward compelling evidence that this incident was merely a hoax.
(2) “Expert” Rating of 8 (out of a potential score of 14). It is given this slightly above neutral rating because (at the time of writing) it has included in one of the short lists of the best cases produced by various UFO researchers that have been compiled by Isaac Koi (see the “Best UFO Cases" article at PART 3: Existing lists by various individuals).
(4)“Strangeness” Rating of 13 (out of a potential score of 14). The sighting has a very strangeness rating since the witness accounts, if not hoaxed, would be very difficult to reconcile with a mundane explanation.

Wikipedia article at : Maury Island incident (1947)
This incident is discussed on the AboveTopSecret.com (“ATS”) internet discussion forums in Thread 275047.There is a rapid turnover of UFO material on the Internet. Many links to material on UFO websites quickly become out of date. Therefore, instead of giving many links to specific webpages I have instead included below a search box which can be used to search various leading UFO websites at the same time. You can then click on tabs at the top of the search results to list only results from forums, only results from websites I have labelled as "skeptical" etc. I have included tabs for a couple of specific websites that I find particularly useful, including the valuable archives of the UFO UpDates email discussion List. The relevant websites are all listed in the discussion of the "UFO Searchillion" search engine in Section 2.4 of the "Free UFO Researcher Starter Pack" and continues to evolve...
The relevant search box is one of the two main tools on this website which are intended to help reduce the amount of reinvention of the wheel within UFOlogy. The other main tool is the collection of tables of references to discussion of UFO incidents, personalities and other matters in various books. Those tables can be sorted by author, length and date. I hope these tools are useful.
Book References
The table below includes references to relevant discussions in UFO/SETI books noted by Isaac Koi during a review of approximately 963 UFO/SETI books during the period 2003-2006 (with a few later additions). The table can be sorted by author, date and length of discussion by clicking on the relevant word in the top line of the table.
Many of the tables of references on this website are considerably longer than the references to books found on most other UFO websites. Indeed, some are probably the longest that have been collated in relation to some events and personalities. Together with the "UFO Searchillion" search box, I hope that these tables are found to be a useful contribution to UFOlogy.
