“I knew immediately it was a good story,” Dew told me a few months ago as we sat outside a coffee shop in Fredrick, Maryland. But he just couldn’t stop thinking about the slides. People would describe him as gruff, diligent, short on chitchat – hardly the type to be chasing little green men. He’s a stout father of three who shoots freelance sports videos for a living. Until that day, Dew had spent little time pondering UFOs. The figure had withered arms, shriveled legs, a large triangular skull with elongated eye sockets, and a tiny sliver of a mouth.

Staring at him was a small, brown, withered body inside what appeared to be a glass case. These had not been in the tray, but tucked underneath, wrapped in parchment paper.ĭew gasped. Then Beason showed him another picture, the first of two nearly identical slides. He wondered how the person who took them was able to get so close to Eisenhower. Some were stunning and had the unmistakable clarity of Kodachrome – Kodak’s revolutionary mid-century color processing. Figuring they had some historical significance, she sent them to Beason, who had worked in book publishing. She saw vivid color photographs of Dwight Eisenhower on what appeared to be a postwar victory train tour, pictures of Bing Crosby and Clark Gable, as well as several photos of European towns. Many years later, she finally projected the slides on to her bedroom wall. His sister couldn’t bring herself to jettison the collection, and so she took the box home, placed it on a shelf and forgot about it.

The slides had been found 14 years earlier by his sister, who had been hired to dispose of the belongings of an elderly woman who had recently died. Later that day, Beason showed Dew a series of slides. “I have something to show you,” Beason said with urgency in his voice. In the spring of 2012, Chicago videographer Adam Dew received a mysterious phone call from his former business partner Joseph Beason.
