American logger from northeastern Arizona. In November 1975 was reported missing for five days after his crew said he was struck by a light from a hovering craft. The case was adapted into the 1993 film 'Fire in the Sky.'
Travis Walton is an American logger who was the subject of one of the most famous and well-documented alien abduction cases in history. In 1975, he disappeared for five days after he and his logging crew witnessed a luminous craft in the forest; he claimed he was struck by a beam of light and taken aboard. Walton's key contribution is the multi-witness corroboration of the initiating event, with his crewmates passing multiple polygraph tests regarding his disappearance. He detailed his terrifying experience aboard the craft in his book, later adapted into a major motion picture. His case remains a cornerstone of the traumatic abduction paradigm and physical contact lore.
