Maury Island Incident Walking Tour
Take a Walk on the Wild Side!
Before The X-Files. Before The Twilight Zone. And definitely before Roswell. In 1947, UFOs appeared over Puget Sound, followed by an encounter with the original Man in Black. Join us for a guided “walk on the wild side,” where history, mystery, ufology, conspiracy, truth and tragedy twist together in the Maury Island Incident.
The tour is a 0.6 mile walk (one way), starting at the Maury Island Mural, then heading west to the Des Moines Marina.
June 9, 2024 - Tour begins at the Maury Island Incident Mural outside Harper Studios, Des Moines
