Maury Island Incident Walking Tour -Date TBD
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.
Tour begins at the Maury Island Incident Mural outside Harper Studios, Des Moines.
FREE EVENT. No ticket needed. More information at EVENTBRITE.

UFO Northwest: How Washington State Spawned the Men in Black
Speakers Bureau Lecture Presented by Humanities Washington
Get ready for MIBBB Fest! A 1947 UFO story from Washington shapes our current UFO narratives, from 1950’s pulp magazines to the ubiquitous X-Files and Men in Black film franchises. Learn how the Northwest’s unique position in UFO history is challenged by others that assert contradictory narratives.
Learn more at Humanities Washington.
MIBBB Film - Date TBD
MIBBB Film is a mini-film festival devoted to shorts - small films that ask big questions about authority, reality, conspiracy - all that we’ve learned, everything we’ve been told, and all manner of the unexplained and unresolved. Disinformation, secret societies, government experiments, apocalyptic warnings, off-book operations, paranormal and science fiction.
