1 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,200 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,960 In this episode, we're talking about the Travis Walton case and 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,240 20 facts you may not know That's correct. 4 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,880 The Travis Walton case and 20 facts you May not know, of 5 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,040 course, Travis Walton Alien abduction case. 6 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,520 It's been almost 50 years now. Now, if we go back and take a 7 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,880 look at it, we find out that we find out that on November 5th, 8 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,470 1975, in the rugged forest of northeastern Arizona, group of 9 00:00:28,470 --> 00:00:31,470 loggers found themselves at the center of an extraordinary 10 00:00:31,470 --> 00:00:33,950 event. Travis Walton, the young and 11 00:00:33,950 --> 00:00:37,550 curious member of the crew, was about to have an encounter that 12 00:00:37,550 --> 00:00:41,150 would forever change his life. After a long day's work as a 13 00:00:41,150 --> 00:00:44,310 team was heading back home, they witnessed a peculiar light 14 00:00:44,350 --> 00:00:48,230 emanating from the nearby trees. Curiosity got the better of them 15 00:00:48,230 --> 00:00:51,990 and they approached the source, a UFO hovering just above the 16 00:00:51,990 --> 00:00:55,090 ground. Terrified and in awe, Walton 17 00:00:55,090 --> 00:00:57,850 approached the strange craft, hoping to get a closer look. 18 00:00:58,490 --> 00:01:02,050 But as he got nearer, a powerful beam of light shot down from the 19 00:01:02,050 --> 00:01:05,530 UFO, engulfing him and causing his fellow loggers to flee and 20 00:01:05,530 --> 00:01:08,130 panic. Fearing for their lives for the 21 00:01:08,130 --> 00:01:10,770 next 5 days, Travis Walton's disappearance captured the 22 00:01:10,770 --> 00:01:13,570 attention of the world. Authorities and skeptical 23 00:01:13,570 --> 00:01:16,250 individuals questioned the loggers account, suspecting foul 24 00:01:16,250 --> 00:01:19,130 play or hoax. The story gained national media 25 00:01:19,130 --> 00:01:22,170 coverage, and tensions ran high as everyone sought to unravel 26 00:01:22,170 --> 00:01:24,580 the truth. Then, just as suddenly as he 27 00:01:24,580 --> 00:01:28,260 vanished, Travis reappeared disoriented in a state of shock, 28 00:01:28,580 --> 00:01:31,100 recounting a tale that seemed impossible to believe. 29 00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:35,660 He claimed he had been taken aboard the alien craft subjected 30 00:01:35,660 --> 00:01:39,220 to a series of bewildering medical examinations, and then 31 00:01:39,620 --> 00:01:42,620 he encountered beings unlike anything he'd seen before. 32 00:01:43,180 --> 00:01:46,940 The Travis Walton abduction case sparked heated debates among UFO 33 00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:49,540 enthusiasts, skeptics and researchers alike. 34 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,560 Some dismissed it as a mere fabrication, while others saw it 35 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,160 as compelling evidence of extraterrestrial contact. 36 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,200 Throughout the years, Travis Walton's story remains 37 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,280 consistent with polygraph tests supporting the authenticity of 38 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,040 his experience. But the question remains, what 39 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,880 really happened that fateful night in the Arizona wilderness? 40 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,479 And we're going to take a look at what happened. 41 00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:11,440 We're going to take a look at some facts that you may not know 42 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,300 about from this next article coming just right ahead of the 43 00:02:16,300 --> 00:02:19,300 Travis Walton alien abduction case is probably the one one of 44 00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:22,940 the most famous alien abduction cases cases of all time. 45 00:02:23,540 --> 00:02:25,660 And I think of course it always bears studying. 46 00:02:25,660 --> 00:02:29,180 And I found this article from grivyhistory.com and the title 47 00:02:29,180 --> 00:02:33,180 says 20 Chilling Facts You Never Knew About the Horrifying Alien 48 00:02:33,180 --> 00:02:35,340 Abduction of Travis Walton. It's written by Sarah Norman, 49 00:02:35,340 --> 00:02:39,580 dated August 2nd, 2023. Looks like fact #1. 50 00:02:39,580 --> 00:02:42,340 Travis Walton was a regular working man before he was 51 00:02:42,340 --> 00:02:44,320 abducted by aliens. That's true. 52 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,440 They were out cutting logs that day in the forest there in 53 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,520 Arizona, it says. On November 5th, 1975, a group 54 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,480 of loggers were driving home from a long day's work in the 55 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,040 forest in northeastern Arizona when they stumbled upon an Erie 56 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,280 site. Hovering above the treetops was 57 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,560 a glowing disk shaped craft. And as they approached, one of 58 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,200 their crew, Travis Walton, was struck by a beam of light and 59 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,520 seemingly abducted by the craft. The story of the The story of 60 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,760 Walton's alleged alien abduction was captured in the imaginations 61 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,910 of 1,000,000 and sparked intense debate over the years. 62 00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:17,110 Was it a hoax or hallucination or did Walton really experience 63 00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:18,750 an encounter with extraterrestrial life? 64 00:03:18,750 --> 00:03:21,870 And then it goes on talks a little bit about about the 65 00:03:21,870 --> 00:03:24,150 article. The second fact that they have 66 00:03:24,670 --> 00:03:28,270 listed here says the second fact they have listed is that 67 00:03:28,270 --> 00:03:32,630 Roswell, NM, home of the famous 1947UFO crash, is just one state 68 00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:34,990 away from where Travis Walton was abducted. 69 00:03:35,310 --> 00:03:36,790 So of course you have that right there. 70 00:03:36,790 --> 00:03:39,800 You have Arizona and Next State over New Mexico, so you're kind 71 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,520 of in UFO territory actually, it says. 72 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,120 Walton and the group of loggers found themselves at the center 73 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,280 of an event that would change their lives forever. 74 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,680 As they stared at the hovering dish shaped craft, their minds 75 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,240 struggled to make sense of what their eyes were seeing. 76 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,320 Despite the countless stories of UFO sightings that circulated 77 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,280 over the years, these hardworking loggers had never 78 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,920 imagined they would bear witness to one themselves. 79 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,680 The famous Roswell incident, which occurred just one state 80 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,910 away in New Mexico, seemed like a distant legend, a story 81 00:04:06,910 --> 00:04:09,230 reserved for the pages of sensationalized magazines and 82 00:04:09,230 --> 00:04:11,830 tabloids. Yet here they were confronted 83 00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:14,590 with the reality that was as bizarre as it was terrifying. 84 00:04:15,870 --> 00:04:19,750 Here we have Fact #3, just an average group of guys in the 85 00:04:19,750 --> 00:04:23,230 1970s, hardly the type to be targeted by alien beings. 86 00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:25,990 Now it's got a picture of these seven guys here, and I'll put a 87 00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:28,470 link to this article on the Buy Me Coffee website. 88 00:04:28,510 --> 00:04:33,030 Definitely 1970s, it says. Mike Rogers, Travis Walton's 89 00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:35,110 best friend and coworker, was driving the truck. 90 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,400 They stopped the vehicle when the men saw the spacecraft, but 91 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,160 everyone stayed in the truck. Everyone, that is, except Travis 92 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,320 Walton, who hopped out to investigate. 93 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,240 Looking back, it's easy to wonder what might have been 94 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,720 going through Travis's mind in that pivotal moment. 95 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,240 Well, if you know, if you got a group of guys, and there's 96 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,720 always one in every bunch, that's always the one that's got 97 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,760 to go look. But in the midst of an 98 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,700 experience that, if I had all rational explanation, the 99 00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:03,220 decision to investigate further may have seemed like the most 100 00:05:03,220 --> 00:05:04,940 logical and reasonable course action. 101 00:05:04,940 --> 00:05:07,700 As we continue our exploration of this bizarre and captivating 102 00:05:07,740 --> 00:05:11,860 case, we delve deeper into the psychology and motivations of 103 00:05:11,860 --> 00:05:15,060 those involved, seeking to understand the complex factors 104 00:05:15,060 --> 00:05:17,820 that led to one of the most intriguing and controversial 105 00:05:17,820 --> 00:05:20,060 alien abduction stories of all times. 106 00:05:20,940 --> 00:05:26,090 They have Fact #5, Travis says. I didn't appreciate the danger I 107 00:05:26,090 --> 00:05:27,970 was in. I think that's true for a lot of 108 00:05:27,970 --> 00:05:29,730 folks that come in contact with these things. 109 00:05:29,730 --> 00:05:32,250 I mean, you think about how technologically advanced they 110 00:05:32,250 --> 00:05:34,130 are in the national software. Do you really want to get close 111 00:05:34,130 --> 00:05:36,690 to it? Years later, Travis Walton, Mike 112 00:05:36,690 --> 00:05:39,370 Rogers, and John Goulet and another coworker was in the 113 00:05:39,370 --> 00:05:43,890 truck with them that night in 1975, sat on a panel at a UFO 114 00:05:43,890 --> 00:05:46,450 conference to fill questions about their encounter. 115 00:05:46,730 --> 00:05:50,170 Walton was asked why he was the only one to exit the truck and 116 00:05:50,170 --> 00:05:52,090 approach the strange craft. He replied. 117 00:05:52,780 --> 00:05:55,980 I was awestruck and entranced by the beauty of the thing. 118 00:05:56,340 --> 00:05:58,300 I thought it would take off, but it didn't. 119 00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:01,540 I didn't appreciate the danger I was in these things. 120 00:06:01,540 --> 00:06:03,940 Definitely, if you are up close to one of them, they can appear 121 00:06:03,940 --> 00:06:05,900 very beautiful, there's no doubt about that. 122 00:06:06,620 --> 00:06:09,620 It says the witness saw a blue-green light. 123 00:06:09,620 --> 00:06:11,980 And this is something, you know, when I had my experience it was 124 00:06:11,980 --> 00:06:14,780 a very blue light. It if you just cannot describe 125 00:06:15,740 --> 00:06:19,500 how enticing that light is, it just fills up every corner and 126 00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:22,500 then you know the combination. In my experience, there was a 127 00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:25,300 blue light on top of this thing and then, you know, basically a 128 00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:28,020 white yellow light coming down from it, like the brightest 129 00:06:28,020 --> 00:06:30,580 stage light you ever saw. There's something about that 130 00:06:30,580 --> 00:06:32,180 light that's just not explainable. 131 00:06:32,180 --> 00:06:35,060 I don't know, but it just it is captivating and I can understand 132 00:06:35,060 --> 00:06:37,780 why Travis might have been drawn to this craft. 133 00:06:37,780 --> 00:06:40,060 As he looked at this blue-green light, he talks about. 134 00:06:40,910 --> 00:06:43,030 When Travis Walton approached the hovering sorcery, he heard a 135 00:06:43,030 --> 00:06:45,710 high pitched buzzing sound. Then suddenly a beam of light 136 00:06:45,710 --> 00:06:47,990 shot down from the craft and knocked him unconscious. 137 00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:50,710 And this was corroborated by Mike Rogers and the other men in 138 00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:52,310 the truck. They all witnessed an intense 139 00:06:52,310 --> 00:06:55,790 blowy screen beam of light engulfing their friend and they 140 00:06:55,790 --> 00:06:59,110 saw him fall to the ground. Wow. 141 00:07:00,310 --> 00:07:02,950 Number six fact Walton's friend speed away of fear. 142 00:07:03,190 --> 00:07:05,510 Who could blame them? Yeah, they did Get out of there. 143 00:07:05,950 --> 00:07:07,430 This is the sort of thing you would expect. 144 00:07:07,430 --> 00:07:10,760 A very human reaction. Fear and adrenaline kicked in. 145 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,280 Rogers hit the gas and speed away as fast as he could, with 146 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,760 the other workers urging him to go even faster. 147 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,400 But Walton was Roger's best friend, and about a mile away he 148 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,880 calmed down enough to turn the truck around and go back for his 149 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,960 buddy. When the men arrived back at the 150 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,280 clearing, both the spacecraft and Walton were gone. 151 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,560 Later, Walton was asked how he felt when he learned that his 152 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,440 best friend and coworkers deserted him. 153 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:38,230 He responded that he would have done the same thing #7 Travis 154 00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:41,350 Walton claimed he tried to fight his otherworldly attackers. 155 00:07:42,270 --> 00:07:45,630 According to Travis Walton, he was knocked out in the clearing 156 00:07:45,790 --> 00:07:49,350 in the in the woods and woke up in a space and woke up in a 157 00:07:49,350 --> 00:07:53,670 space that reminded him of a hospital room. 3 strange looking 158 00:07:53,670 --> 00:07:56,310 creatures, short and bald, with large eyes were watching over 159 00:07:56,310 --> 00:07:58,230 him. Walton said he tried to fight 160 00:07:58,230 --> 00:08:00,790 the three creatures so he could escape, but a humanoid creature 161 00:08:00,790 --> 00:08:04,370 wearing an odd helmet came into the room and immediately had a 162 00:08:04,370 --> 00:08:06,730 somewhat calming effect on Walton, but he was still 163 00:08:06,730 --> 00:08:10,650 paralyzed with fear. This is another account of these 164 00:08:10,650 --> 00:08:13,130 strange humanoid creatures that seem to be working with these 165 00:08:13,130 --> 00:08:17,690 things now, whether they're just previously kidnapped abductees 166 00:08:17,690 --> 00:08:21,410 or some sort of hybrid, we just don't know. 167 00:08:21,410 --> 00:08:24,290 Or maybe just an alien made to look like a human. 168 00:08:25,210 --> 00:08:27,170 Now, great. Travis Walton described both 169 00:08:27,170 --> 00:08:31,650 aliens and humans aboard the craft, and it says Travis 170 00:08:31,650 --> 00:08:35,490 Walton's description of the interior of the spacecraft and 171 00:08:35,490 --> 00:08:38,130 the details of what the aliens did to him were sparse. 172 00:08:38,770 --> 00:08:42,049 Walton claims that the human in the helmet led him to another 173 00:08:42,049 --> 00:08:44,770 room. There, three other creatures of 174 00:08:44,770 --> 00:08:47,890 unknown origin placed a clear plastic mask over his mouth and 175 00:08:47,890 --> 00:08:49,770 nose. I can't even imagine how 176 00:08:49,770 --> 00:08:52,930 terrifying that would be. After that, he has no further 177 00:08:52,930 --> 00:08:55,050 recollection of his time as an alien abductee. 178 00:08:55,570 --> 00:08:58,450 If there were any specific alien experiments performed, he has no 179 00:08:58,450 --> 00:09:02,550 memory of it, which is probably for the best. 180 00:09:02,670 --> 00:09:05,710 And then it says #9. Travis Walton was the first 181 00:09:05,710 --> 00:09:08,150 person reported to have been abducted by aliens while he was 182 00:09:08,150 --> 00:09:10,670 still missing. That's interesting. 183 00:09:11,390 --> 00:09:14,190 Mike Rogers, John Coulet and the other witnesses reported the 184 00:09:14,190 --> 00:09:16,510 encounter and their missing friend to authorities. 185 00:09:16,870 --> 00:09:19,310 The police had a hard time believing their story. 186 00:09:19,470 --> 00:09:22,430 It was the 1970s, after all. They assumed that men had been 187 00:09:22,430 --> 00:09:25,950 doing drugs, had a bad trip, and her friend wandered off. 188 00:09:25,950 --> 00:09:28,750 Nonetheless, they launched a search for the missing Travis 189 00:09:28,750 --> 00:09:32,210 Walton, using scent dogs and helicopters as well as boots on 190 00:09:32,210 --> 00:09:34,530 the ground. So even though the cops didn't 191 00:09:34,530 --> 00:09:37,610 really take the story at face value, they they did the right 192 00:09:37,610 --> 00:09:39,770 thing and they sent out a search party immediately. 193 00:09:41,370 --> 00:09:44,730 Next fact, Mike Rogers and other witnesses were suspected of 194 00:09:44,730 --> 00:09:48,130 murdering Travis Walton. Well, you might think that when 195 00:09:48,130 --> 00:09:50,650 Travis Walton was reported missing and his coworkers 196 00:09:50,650 --> 00:09:52,810 offered a fantastic, unbelievable story about his 197 00:09:52,810 --> 00:09:55,130 abduction, the authorities launched a massive manhound for 198 00:09:55,130 --> 00:09:57,580 him. But they also questioned Mike 199 00:09:57,580 --> 00:09:59,100 Rogers, John Glute, and the others. 200 00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:02,620 At the time, the working theory was that the other loggers had 201 00:10:02,620 --> 00:10:04,780 killed Walton, either intentionally or accidentally, 202 00:10:04,780 --> 00:10:07,900 and had and had invented the alien abduction tale to explain 203 00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:10,140 his absence. The police fully expected to 204 00:10:10,140 --> 00:10:11,940 find Walton's murdered body in the force. 205 00:10:11,940 --> 00:10:15,100 Meanwhile, Rogers and the others were frantically trying to clear 206 00:10:15,100 --> 00:10:16,700 their names and find their missing friend. 207 00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:19,820 That must have been right hard on these guys that. 208 00:10:19,820 --> 00:10:22,940 I mean, First off, your friend goes missing and in the in the 209 00:10:22,940 --> 00:10:26,610 strangest way possible. And now you're being implicated 210 00:10:26,610 --> 00:10:29,770 in possibly murdering him. I think this is fact #11. 211 00:10:29,770 --> 00:10:33,170 Travis Walton was returned to Earth after five days. 212 00:10:33,410 --> 00:10:35,490 This, this abduction went on for quite a while. 213 00:10:36,210 --> 00:10:39,330 The next thing Travis Walton remembers from his experience is 214 00:10:39,330 --> 00:10:42,050 standing on the side of a road with the spacecraft zooming away 215 00:10:42,050 --> 00:10:44,410 from him. He didn't know at the time, but 216 00:10:44,410 --> 00:10:48,330 he was in Herbert, Arizona and five days and six hours had 217 00:10:48,330 --> 00:10:50,410 passed since he was being from the UFO. 218 00:10:51,170 --> 00:10:54,170 He has no memory of anything after he was rendered 219 00:10:54,170 --> 00:10:58,570 unconscious by the three humans. None of these memories have ever 220 00:10:58,570 --> 00:11:01,850 returned, leading Walton to theorize that he was unconscious 221 00:11:01,850 --> 00:11:05,330 the entire time. So you hear that this guy he 222 00:11:05,370 --> 00:11:07,530 that he just finds himself deposited along the side of the 223 00:11:07,530 --> 00:11:09,850 road, just like we see with so many of these cattle mutilation 224 00:11:09,850 --> 00:11:12,770 cases where they seem to be randomly dropped down or people 225 00:11:12,770 --> 00:11:15,370 in these National Park missing people cases. 226 00:11:15,370 --> 00:11:17,930 Sometimes the the individuals are still alive. 227 00:11:18,090 --> 00:11:21,680 Usually they're dead and we find our bodies often miles from 228 00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:24,280 where they were last seen at, just discarded. 229 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,360 And here Travis finds himself standing along the side of the 230 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,920 road after being having. He doesn't even remember what 231 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,240 done to him, but he knows it was an alien spaceship, and very 232 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,160 strange that he remembers 3 humans during this whole 233 00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:42,840 terrible abduction. It says bloodhounds couldn't 234 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,790 detect Travis Wallace's trail. That's fact. 235 00:11:46,910 --> 00:11:49,030 Remember those scent dogs that were used to brick Walt? 236 00:11:49,070 --> 00:11:51,470 That. Remember those scent dogs that 237 00:11:51,470 --> 00:11:53,870 were used to track Walton? They were unable to pick up 238 00:11:53,870 --> 00:11:56,350 Walton's trail from the clearing and unable to pick up his trail 239 00:11:56,350 --> 00:11:58,910 leading to his reappearance on the road in Herbert. 240 00:11:59,270 --> 00:12:02,150 The dog's handlers tried to get the animals to follow Walton's 241 00:12:02,150 --> 00:12:06,230 trail backwards, assuming he had been hiding out somewhere, but 242 00:12:06,230 --> 00:12:07,910 there was no trail for the dogs to follow. 243 00:12:08,350 --> 00:12:11,110 It was like Walton was plucked off the ground in one location 244 00:12:11,390 --> 00:12:14,790 and plopped down in another, which is exactly what he claimed 245 00:12:14,790 --> 00:12:17,540 happened. Yeah, that's what it seems like. 246 00:12:19,220 --> 00:12:21,420 Then it says, was it all big hoax? 247 00:12:21,420 --> 00:12:23,980 And after Travis Walton returned from his alleged abduction and 248 00:12:23,980 --> 00:12:26,420 told his story, he faced skepticism at every turn. 249 00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:29,660 Officials claimed that Walton made-up the whole incident so he 250 00:12:29,660 --> 00:12:31,140 could make money from selling a story. 251 00:12:31,140 --> 00:12:34,020 The local sheriff claimed that Walton, along with his brother 252 00:12:34,020 --> 00:12:36,620 and mother, were all longtime students of UFOs. 253 00:12:37,060 --> 00:12:39,740 And folks assumed that Walton was such a UFO fan that he 254 00:12:39,740 --> 00:12:41,740 wanted to be part of the alien story. 255 00:12:42,140 --> 00:12:44,940 So of course, you just ignore the facts and accused the guy 256 00:12:44,940 --> 00:12:47,870 being a liar. And then it says there's another 257 00:12:47,870 --> 00:12:49,990 fact. The witness took lie detector 258 00:12:49,990 --> 00:12:51,790 test and passed. Yeah, I knew that. 259 00:12:52,270 --> 00:12:55,270 But there was also evidence to support Travis Walton's story. 260 00:12:55,270 --> 00:12:57,670 All of the other men in the truck that night who all saw the 261 00:12:57,670 --> 00:13:00,990 UFO witness, Walton's encounter with it took polygraph test. 262 00:13:01,670 --> 00:13:04,110 All of them passed except one man and his results were 263 00:13:04,230 --> 00:13:06,590 inconclusive. Now, I haven't seen one of these 264 00:13:06,590 --> 00:13:08,150 things at work. The guy could have just been 265 00:13:08,150 --> 00:13:09,150 nervous. I don't know. 266 00:13:09,740 --> 00:13:12,700 Traditionally Walton was not a publicity seeker by nature. 267 00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:15,380 In fact, he hated the media circus that resulted from his 268 00:13:15,380 --> 00:13:18,180 alien abduction. He was not a likely candidate to 269 00:13:18,180 --> 00:13:21,500 perpetuate a hoax like this. He wasn't the type of person 270 00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:24,580 searching for fame and I was just out cutting trees down in 271 00:13:24,580 --> 00:13:28,300 the timber. Now it says another fact Here 272 00:13:28,300 --> 00:13:31,420 Barney and Betty Hill were abducted by aliens in 1961. 273 00:13:31,540 --> 00:13:33,540 Did their story inspired Travis Walton? 274 00:13:34,150 --> 00:13:36,390 I'm not going to go over the Barney and Betty Hill story. 275 00:13:36,390 --> 00:13:39,350 We we know that I've been podcast on it, but that of 276 00:13:39,350 --> 00:13:40,950 course was mentioned by some people. 277 00:13:40,950 --> 00:13:43,990 Hey, maybe maybe that's what you know, got these guys thinking 278 00:13:43,990 --> 00:13:45,470 about that and I kind of doubt it. 279 00:13:45,470 --> 00:13:47,190 That would have been 10 years prior anyway. 280 00:13:47,190 --> 00:13:50,230 And this is Travis Walton published a book about his 281 00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:52,870 abduction. Yes, I'm aware of that. 282 00:13:53,190 --> 00:13:56,550 It says here Travis Walton wrote a book about the UFO encounter 283 00:13:56,550 --> 00:13:59,470 he had led that had led to his five day abduction. 284 00:14:00,180 --> 00:14:03,820 He titled his book which was published in The 19 Seven which 285 00:14:03,820 --> 00:14:07,580 was published in 1978 The Walton Experience in 1993. 286 00:14:07,580 --> 00:14:10,100 Tracy tore me adapted the book into a screenplay and it was 287 00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:12,700 made to a movie, Fire in the Sky, directed by Robert 288 00:14:12,700 --> 00:14:15,420 Lieberman. Yeah, he did have a movie made, 289 00:14:15,420 --> 00:14:17,140 which is pretty interesting I think as well. 290 00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:20,460 It talks about the movie and the IT says the movie Fire in the 291 00:14:20,460 --> 00:14:22,980 Sky was adapted from Travis Walton's book and we're aware of 292 00:14:22,980 --> 00:14:26,460 that movie. It says here that it grossed 293 00:14:26,460 --> 00:14:30,140 $19.9 million but the film's but the film critics approval was 294 00:14:30,140 --> 00:14:31,780 split. You know you're just not going 295 00:14:31,780 --> 00:14:35,460 to get a good reviews on a on a biographical alien abduction 296 00:14:35,460 --> 00:14:38,340 story but at least they got the movie out there. 297 00:14:38,900 --> 00:14:41,940 Now it says Travis Walton with his book and he's he's got his 298 00:14:41,940 --> 00:14:44,940 book Travis here and Fire in the Sky Sky. 299 00:14:45,580 --> 00:14:48,700 They go on to say the scientific community has long dismissed 300 00:14:48,700 --> 00:14:50,980 Travis Walton's story as a hoax for the product of power of 301 00:14:50,980 --> 00:14:53,540 deception and selfdeception. Yet there are others who believe 302 00:14:53,540 --> 00:14:55,910 Travis Walton. They point to other alien 303 00:14:55,910 --> 00:14:57,550 abduction stories and similar details. 304 00:14:57,550 --> 00:15:00,710 His critics say that the fact that Walton wrote a book and has 305 00:15:00,710 --> 00:15:02,430 profited from his stories proof that it was a hoe. 306 00:15:02,950 --> 00:15:05,790 But his supporters say that it's only natural that Walton would 307 00:15:05,790 --> 00:15:08,670 want to share his terrifying and otherworldly story to let others 308 00:15:08,670 --> 00:15:11,710 know what happened to him. Well, of course. 309 00:15:12,110 --> 00:15:14,070 And then we get out here at the end, it says. 310 00:15:14,070 --> 00:15:16,350 People are still not sure if they should believe Travis 311 00:15:16,350 --> 00:15:18,950 Walton's story or not. Several television programs that 312 00:15:18,950 --> 00:15:22,030 future strange Stories and Incidents of alien encounters 313 00:15:22,030 --> 00:15:24,150 have covered Travis Walton's chilling story. 314 00:15:24,810 --> 00:15:27,690 He has been interviewed by Larry King, Joe Rogan and others. 315 00:15:27,850 --> 00:15:31,010 Walton is an occasional guest at UFO conventions where he shares 316 00:15:31,010 --> 00:15:34,490 his stories with fans. He even sponsors his own UFO 317 00:15:34,490 --> 00:15:37,610 conference called the Sky Skyfire Summit. 318 00:15:37,610 --> 00:15:42,090 And then finally, the very last fact that it brings out is that 319 00:15:42,090 --> 00:15:43,730 says. Does Travis Walton's experience 320 00:15:43,730 --> 00:15:45,730 prove that we aren't ready for the truth? 321 00:15:45,930 --> 00:15:49,640 Well, maybe in a way. Travis Walton's 1978 book The 322 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,560 Waltons Experience has a good reads of 3.8. 323 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,160 In the book, he recounts how he was treated when he reappeared 324 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,760 from his ordeal. And then he says people were, 325 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,400 you know, upset and angry with him. 326 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,840 Some people just, you know, they accused him of being liars, he 327 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,400 says. It would have been easier if he 328 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,720 It would have been easier, he claims, if he had just kept the 329 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,920 incident to himself. But he knew it was too important 330 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,120 not to share it with the world. He didn't expect to be branded a 331 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,940 liar, to have his story, to have his every decision used against 332 00:16:17,940 --> 00:16:21,060 him, to to prove him a hoax. He concluded that the world 333 00:16:21,060 --> 00:16:23,900 wasn't ready to grapple with the implications of his experience 334 00:16:24,300 --> 00:16:27,460 that aliens exist and are visiting our planet. 335 00:16:28,020 --> 00:16:31,380 Well, yeah, a lot of people probably aren't. 336 00:16:31,580 --> 00:16:36,700 They aren't able to 1st off just digest the story of Travis 337 00:16:36,700 --> 00:16:39,420 Walton. Of course, it's been almost 50 338 00:16:39,420 --> 00:16:42,580 years now since this happened. And the fact that he's held up 339 00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:45,300 to multiple polygraph tests, the fact that he was missing for 340 00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:48,460 five days, the fact that other people are there to cooperate 341 00:16:48,460 --> 00:16:52,340 his testimony. It seems clear that one of these 342 00:16:52,340 --> 00:16:56,300 things visited, that Travis got too close and then it just 343 00:16:56,300 --> 00:17:00,580 sucked him up on board the same way it would have a a free range 344 00:17:00,580 --> 00:17:02,540 cow or whatever else got it its way. 345 00:17:02,860 --> 00:17:06,260 Lucky for Travis, he was put back here alive now. 346 00:17:06,660 --> 00:17:10,060 Or that that's because they've signed some sort of treaty, you 347 00:17:10,060 --> 00:17:13,339 know, back 50-60 years ago with the United States saying, hey, 348 00:17:13,339 --> 00:17:15,060 you can take people, but you can't kill him. 349 00:17:15,710 --> 00:17:18,030 Whether this is just some sort of universal law where they're 350 00:17:18,030 --> 00:17:21,550 not allowed to kill people even though they do do that 351 00:17:21,550 --> 00:17:24,990 occasionally, who knows. It wouldn't seem that they're 352 00:17:24,990 --> 00:17:28,670 here to really help people. They certainly haven't shared 353 00:17:28,670 --> 00:17:31,790 the cure for cancer. They certainly haven't 354 00:17:32,110 --> 00:17:35,630 eliminated the threat of nuclear war. 355 00:17:36,230 --> 00:17:41,510 They certainly haven't unleashed knowledge and technology that 356 00:17:41,510 --> 00:17:45,970 could provide clean energy save mankind. 357 00:17:46,770 --> 00:17:50,650 We're not sitting around the the campfire singing Kumbaya with 358 00:17:50,650 --> 00:17:54,290 these guys. So I do believe that that Travis 359 00:17:54,290 --> 00:17:56,690 Walton had an experience. I do believe he was abducted. 360 00:17:57,250 --> 00:18:00,090 And I don't believe that whatever it was that abducted 361 00:18:00,090 --> 00:18:03,290 him really cared at all about Travis Walton. 362 00:18:03,370 --> 00:18:06,090 There's something he had they needed, there's some information 363 00:18:06,090 --> 00:18:07,970 that they were able to drive out of him. 364 00:18:08,290 --> 00:18:13,150 They basically treated him like a a lab rat, but for some 365 00:18:13,150 --> 00:18:16,310 unexplained reason, he was lucky enough to be placed back all 366 00:18:16,310 --> 00:18:22,310 along that lonely country Rd. basically unharmed and without 367 00:18:22,310 --> 00:18:27,670 too many memories of the just crazy episode that he'd just 368 00:18:27,670 --> 00:18:29,630 gone through. This alien abduction of Travis 369 00:18:29,630 --> 00:18:31,510 Walton. Until next time, this is UFO 370 00:18:31,510 --> 00:18:32,430 Warning Over now.
