What was reported
Dahl said six ring-shaped objects appeared over his boat and one ejected metallic material, some of which he and Fred Crisman offered as evidence. Two Army Air Forces intelligence officers who collected samples died when their B-25 crashed on the return flight.
Official and public statements
In 1949 the FBI reported that Harold Dahl and Fred Crisman told investigators the fragments were not connected to any flying object. Project Blue Book's Edward Ruppelt described the case as a hoax in his 1956 book.
