A few weeks before the famous UFO incident at Roswell, a similar close encounter was reported near Tacoma.

The show "UFO Hunters" takes an hourlong look at what happened in the sky above Maury Island back in '47.

The story involves giant doughnut-shaped spacecraft, mysterious rocks, men in black, a B-25 plane crash and even the notable Tacoman Fred Crisman (who was supposedly investigated in connection with the JFK assassination).

See our area on national TV at 8 tonight on the History Channel.

If you want to skip the overstated hype of the TV show, check out this detailed thesis of "The Maury Island Incident."

For the short version, read the Wikipedia entry.

Any of you ever seen a UFO? Been abducted? Probed?
