Travis Walton abduction — Logger Travis Walton vanished in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest after approaching a hovering disc. He reappeared five days later, claiming he had been taken aboard the craft.
On November 5, 1975, logger Travis Walton vanished in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Snowflake, Arizona, while traveling with six fellow loggers. He reappeared five days later, claiming he had been taken aboard a hovering disc. The case remains one of the most polygraph-tested abduction reports. [The Disappearance] At dusk, the seven-man logging crew, driving home in a pickup truck, spotted a luminous disc hovering above a clearing. Walton stepped out of the truck and approached the object. Witnesses reported he was struck by a beam of light, lifted off the ground, and thrown back. The driver, Mike Rogers, panicked and drove away. [The Search] Walton's six crewmates returned 15 minutes later to find him gone. They reported the incident to police, sparking one of the largest manhunts in Arizona history. Suspicion initially fell on the crewmates, but all six passed polygraph tests stating they had seen the craft and had not harmed Walton. [Return and Account] Walton reappeared five days later in Heber, Arizona, disheveled and emotionally shaken. He described being awakened on a table aboard the craft surrounded by short bald humanoids with large dark eyes. He also encountered taller human-like figures before losing consciousness and waking up on the highway. [Polygraph and Legacy] Walton and several witnesses subsequently passed multiple polygraph examinations. The case was dramatized in the 1993 film "Fire in the Sky", though the film's portrayal of the on-board experience differs significantly from Walton's actual account. Walton continues to maintain the truth of his story today. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_Walton_UFO_incident
