History on Tap: UFO Northwest – How Washington State Spawned the Men in Black

History on Tap returns at 7 p.m. Oct. 16 with “History on Tap: UFO Northwest — How Washington State Spawned the Men in Black” at the Kiggins Theatre. On Aug. 1, 1947, the crash of a B-25 bomber in Washington State triggered a federal investigation into “The Maury Island Incident”— an event widely considered the first reported UFO encounter involving the so-called Men in Black. Guest speaker Steve Edmiston unravels this true Washington State mystery and explores its lasting influence on UFO lore in popular culture — from 1950s pulp magazines to The X-Files and the Men in Black films. Admission is free.
