UFO Northwest: How Washington State Spawned the Men in Black at the Redmond Library
For adults.
Join a fascinating discussion of a Washington story that shapes our current UFO narratives, from 1950s pulp magazines to the ubiquitous X-Files and Men in Black film franchises. Screenwriter and attorney, Steve Edmiston will describe the event and the aftermath of the "Maury Island Incident."
On August 1, 1947, the tragic crash of a B-25 bomber in Washington State triggered an FBI investigation of an infamous Northwest UFO sighting, and history’s first alleged encounter with the so-called “Men in Black.” The FBI’s records from 1947, which were sealed for decades, reveal Cold War fears, jurisdictional disputes, cover-ups, false confessions, a courageous FBI Special Agent, and the hands-on involvement of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.
