American Alchemy / Jesse Michels ↗YouTube-hosted preview and player; not relicensedHarold Dahl said that on 21 June 1947 six doughnut-shaped objects hovered over his boat near Maury Island, Washington, one dropping slag that killed his dog. Two Army intelligence officers who collected samples died when their B-25 crashed. Dahl later called it a hoax. In the corpus the case is tied to Fred Crisman and JFK lore.
