This book collects an enormous amount of data from government files, oral history interviews, intelligence agency reports and privately held correspondence.
The Maury Island UFO Incident is a bizarre mystery case spanning several months in the summer of 1947 in the Northwest and involved the Air Force's first military plane crash. This book presents new evidence, new news articles and never seen before photos of the military and the figures involved including Capt. Davidson, 1st Lt. Brown, Harold Dahl and Tacoma Times reporter Paul Lantz. This book presents a first ever interview with a local who was first on the crash scene and a newly discovered news photo of the crash site, believed to be the only photo available of the historical crash and what has been called the "Roswell of the Northwest".The Northwest mystery occurred two weeks before Roswell and involved three facets: Harold Dahl's story of UFOs seen over Maury Island, Kenneth Arnold's sighting of UFOs over Mt. Rainier and the tragic crash of a B-25 Bomber and the deaths of two military intelligence officers. As the Air Force separated from the Army August 1st 1947, this would become the first historical plane crash and fatalities of the Air Force. "When I met Charlette LeFevre and Philip Lipson in 2007, I found them to be enthusiastic researchers who were energetically pursuing and impartially sifting through the facts about the Maury Island incident. This book is the result of their efforts. It presents new evidence and new analysis, and every reader will find it intriguing and informative." - Larry Haapanen, Ph.D., the last UFO investigator for the Fourth Air Force." I just finished the book on the Maury Island incident and loved it. It filled in a lot of gaps for me about that incident, and the chronological framework was very helpful." - Kelly Head, Librarian and UFO researcher.
In the summer of 1947, two men were plying their trade of salvaging logs on the Puget Sound in the State of Washington. They had an eerie encounter with what they believed to be an "out of this world" craft as their boat came under siege. Civilian pilot investigators tried to make sense of the matter without success. Finally, the United State Air Force is brought to the scene. The resulting deadly crash of an American warplane and the death of its two pilots turned the event into one of the most sinister UFO events of the modern age.

New Hampshire couple Betty and Barney Hill provided Americans with what is essentially the original alien abduction story. Since their story became public in the early 1960s, many thousands of Americans have likewise come forward with similar stories of traumatic experiences. Sometimes the abductee has little conscious recollection of these events, but through nightmares, dreams, flashbacks and hypnosis they eventually learn more.

To get a better understanding of the opposing viewpoints of skeptic and believer, the Betty and Barney Hill case is used to examine the wider context of such encounters, their historical origins, media influences and the latest extraterrestrial, psychological, paranormal, conspiracy and sociological theories that surround them.
