jun 28, 1947 - Maury Island, WA First ‘Men in Black’ Sighting

Description:

Harold Dahl was in a boat with his dog and son on Puget Sound when he saw six donut-shaped flying objects that dropped metallic debris on them and hit Harold’s son in the arm and killed their dog. Harold happened to take pictures of this and told his supervisor who was skeptical at first but discovered the same objects. A man in a black suit visited Dahl the next morning and told him not to tell anyone about the event or "bad things would happen". Started the idea of "men in black" and was proven a hoax by a US Government investigation (Dahl admitted it was a hoax later)
