The First Man in Black (Before Roswell)

from Tales From The Dark · host Tales From The Dark

Weeks before Roswell, a log salvager named Harold Dahl watched six donut-shaped craft over Puget Sound and the next morning a stranger in a dark suit met him for breakfast and recited the whole thing back to him. It's the case that may have birthed the Men in Black, killed two intelligence officers, and trailed a man who'd later be subpoenaed in the JFK investigation.Officially the dirtiest hoax in UFO history. Unofficially, nobody can quite close the lid. Maury Island, 1947.Got a story of your own? Something unexplained?
