Hi Sterling,

You are right, it is spelled Vashon. Maury island is actually attached to
Vashon Island and is more of a peninsula than a real island. It is a ten minute
ferry ride from where I used to live on the Puget Sound across from Point
Defiance. I do not recall the old man's name but Harold does ring a bell, maybe
from the mail I received or from hearing it on the show. I will look for the
envelope and metal pieces next time I go through my collection.


My point is that these crazies really believe what they are telling everybody or
simply want 15 minutes of fame or both. I took a scientist friend's advice, "Do
not encourage them."


Best Regards,

Adam

Hi,

This is a long-evolved and complicated piece of the UFO
folklore. You appear to be referring to Vashon Island
(not "Vashion"), now referred to as the Maury Island
incident:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maury_Island_incident

You will note reports of rock-like slag being dropped
and "thin sheets" of white metal, not metallic blobs.
Your old man wasn't Harold A. Dahl, was he?
