Known as the Maury Island Incident\, the encounter was the first UFO sighting during the Summer of the Saucers\, when thousands of UFO incidents were reported worldwide.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhotos by Sean Puno. \n\n\nThe encounter inspired the award-winning film The Maury Island Incident\, written by local historian and MIBBB Fest co-founder Steve Edmiston\, directed by Scott Schaefer and executive produced by John White.\n\n\n\n\n\n“Our local connection to Men In Black lore has captured the attention of thousands of UFO aficionados and publications and was even recognized by our Washington State Senate in Resolution 8648\,” Edmiston added. “But not many locals are aware that MIB mythology originated right here in our backyard. MIBBB Fest is our chance to celebrate this quirky bit of local history.”\n\n\n\n\nTickets Available Now\n\n\n\n\nThis year’s MIBBB Fest includes a Film + Dance Party featuring Boots! on Friday\, June 21.\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets for all MIBBB Fest events are on sale now at EventBrite.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information:\n\n\n\n\n\n 	\n\n 	Visit MIBBB Fest website\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n 	\n\n 	Follow MIBBB on Facebook \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n 	\n\n 	Follow MIBBB on Instagram\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Steve Edmiston\n\n\n\n\nSteve is an appointee to the Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau\, and has keynoted the Washington State Historical Society\, Smith Tower Rumrunners Club\, McMenamin’s History Pubs\, conferences\, festivals\, historical societies\, and business groups.  He is also a business\, entertainment\, and IP attorney\, and independent film screenwriter/producer.
