This 1.2 mile round-trip walking tour will introduce you to the amazing tale of molten “slag” falling from a flying saucer over Harold Dahl’s boat, injuring his son and killing the family’s dog; the army-air force investigation that ended with the tragic crash of a B-25 bomber; the personal involvement of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover; the first-ever reported encounter with “men in black;” and the new dispute over whether Harold Dahl ever confessed to a hoax.   History, mystery, ufology, conspiracy, truth and tragedy twist together in the Maury Island Incident. Experience the story as a walking tour narrated by the screenwriter of the Maury Island Incident film, Steve Edmiston.   Part I of the tour is a 0.6 mile walk, starting on a high bluff, then heading west to the Des Moines Marina. Return (round trip 1.2 miles) to your transportation for Part II, which consists of a short drive through Des Moines to see four incredible - and perhaps inexplicable - sculptures that just might not be from "around here."   Your starting point - the Maury Island Incident Mural, located at the intersection of 6th Avenue South and South 223rd Street in Des Moines.   Listen to the audio tour here: https://youraudiotour.com/tours/929/ - Unlock Code: “98198”   Add to Trip Itinerary To navigate, press the arrow keys.←Move left→Move right↑Move up↓Move down+Zoom in-Zoom outHomeJump left by 75%EndJump right by 75%Page UpJump up by 75%Page DownJump down by 75%MapTerrainSatelliteLabelsKeyboard shortcutsMap DataMap data ©2023Map data ©2023100 m Click to toggle between metric and imperial unitsTerms of UseReport a map error What's Nearby Stay Hotel/Motel/Inn Extended Stay & Rentals RVs and Campgrounds Blog Explore Regional Overview Maps Getting To & Around Cruise Travelers Itineraries Trip Builder FAQ Seattle Southside TV Travel Planner Southside Explorer Blog Travel Newsletter Safety Guidelines Seattle Southside Scenes People on the Bus Play Events Attractions Sightseeing Nature & Adventure Family Fun Entertainment Shopping & Wellness Spring Break Autumn Adventures Winter Holiday Eat Dining Guide Cuisine Types Wineries Breweries Deals Do More Save More Des Moines Experience Pass Hotel Packages Park, Stay and Fly Pre or Post Cruise About Who We Are What We Do Partners Benefits Regional Expert Program Resources Extranet Events Join Us Media Sign Up for Media Alerts Media Tours Annual Reports Press Releases & Media Alerts In the News Research Travel Trade Tour Suggestions Download Guide Sports Planners Premier Venues Download Guide Event Planners Venues Welcome Services Attendance Marketing Tools Testimonials Planner Tips Download Guide Privacy Policy Terms of Use Sitemap Contact Us © 2023 Seattle Southside Regional Tourism Authority 3100 S. 176th Street, Seattle, WA 98188 206.880.7156 We use cookies to improve our site and your experience.
