EXPOSED! by Anthony Bragalia, July 2010
http://ufocon.blogspot.com/2010/07/maury-island-no-longer-mystery-ufo-hoax.html In Anthony Bragalia’s 2010 article, he claims that Charles Dahl said
that he was never on his father’s boat, and “the entire affair was a hoax
and characterized Crisman as a smooth talking con artist.”
There is little doubt that most people saw Crisman as a con artist.
When the authors talked to Louise Bakotich, Dahl’s daughter recently
in the preparation of this report she mentioned, “This is a mystery no
one knows what to think about.” In 2003, Frank Warren sent her 50
pages of material about the incident. “She also told me that she was
estranged from her brother early in life and didn't know him well; nor
were they together as family at the time of the occurrence. “ She
wasn’t raised by her father and only reunited with him after 1965. She
also told Warren that she took care of her father the last two weeks of
his life, and although he didn't reference the Maury Island Incident, he
did talk mildly about UFOs, which he held onto as a belief until the day
he died.”
Haldor Dahl
Many researchers have assumed that Harold Dahl’s boat was called the
“North Queen.” This comes from the listing in Merchant Vessels of The
United States-1947 of a boat called North Queen owned by a “Haldor
Dahl.” Researchers have considered this to be merely a misprint and
assumed that it really was Harold Dahl. However, the 1947 Tacoma
City Directory lists
both Haldor Dahl as president of the Tacoma
Boat
Building Company and Harold Dahl
at
different
addresses.
Haldor Dahl was a well-known figure in the shipping industry. As the
Merchant Vessels of 1946-1948 do not list a Harold Dahl, Harold Doll,
or Crisman, there is no documented reference to the name of the boat
Harold Dahl was using at the time of the claimed sighting. Arne Strom
and his brother-in-law, Haldor Dahl, established Strom
&
Dahl
Boatbuilding Co. The company, later renamed Tacoma
Boatbuilding, built purse seiners, and trollers. Haldor Dahl-Obituary, Tacoma News Tribune, November 4, 1953

Early connection with UFOs Crisman would become one of
the most interesting characters in
the Maury Island UFO Incident
with
even

relationships
than

Tacoma
small
businessman and teacher would
have.
FBI documents and statements
from friends would show Crisman
would later be involved with
political campaigns, shady church organizations
as well as eventually
be subpoenaed by Jim Garrison on the JFK assassination. It is very
likely much of his skills played a part in manipulation and
cover up in
the Maury Island UFO Incident.
In June 1946, Crisman wrote a letter to the editor of Amazing Stories
who was Palmer about his battle in Burma with Deros. Crisman would
write:
Sirs:
I flew my last combat mission on May 26 [1945] when I was shot up
over Bassein and ditched my ship in Ramaree Roads off Chedubs
Island. I was missing five days. I requested leave at Kashmere.

and Capt. (deleted by request) left Srinagar and went to Rudok then
through the Khesa pass to the northern foothills of the Kabakoram.
We found what we were looking for.
We knew what we were
searching for.
For heaven's sake, drop the whole thing!
