Fire In The Sky! The Travis Walton Alien Abduction Story

By Dorraine Fisher

Back in 1975, a 22-year-old Travis Walton was working a forestry job in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Snowflake, Arizona. On an eerie night in November of that year, Walton and a group of his co-workers saw a huge, bright saucer-shaped object hovering ahead of them about 110 feet away. Walton said that for some reason he got out of the truck to get a closer look, but he was zapped unconscious by a beam of light. The other men claimed they were afraid and drove away from the scene and were later suspected of murdering Walton. Local authorities searched for him for several days with scent dogs and helicopters to no avail, but he finally reappeared by the roadside five days later near Heber, Arizona.

His co-workers were later subjected to polygraph tests that they passed. And in 1978, Walton wrote his tell-all book called The Walton Experience which was adapted into the slightly sensationalized 1993 blockbuster movie, Fire In The Sky.
