I was struggling to breathe.

What's going on here?

What explains this pain?

Where are we? What's going on?

I recalled getting out of the truck.

UFO was just sitting there.

Travis, get back in the truck.

I thought the world was coming to an end.

Bam.

I truly feared for my life.

We saw this thing. I think it was a UFO.

I thought it was a hoax of
some kind to cover up a crime.

If he is not found, his disappearance
will remain a mystery.

Where is the body of Travis Walton?

I was amazed at the results
of the examinations.

The fear was absolutely over the top.

Stay away from me!

Felt like I was fighting for my life.

I sort of mark time in my
life by November 5, 1975.

The trauma from this event
has never gone away.

Even yet after all this time, to recall it
puts me there, and I sort of relive it.

I was out of my mind with fear.

Some people just keep telling
themselves such things can't happen.

If you're gonna judge this,
first take a look at the facts.

They brought me back.

The facts speak for themselves.

I was 22. I was young, single.

Basically considered by the
locals to be a bit of a rebel,

not being a real church regular.

Travis was something.

Travis did things his way.

I remember him being a
fighter and wild bull rider.

- Morning, easy rider.
- Morning.

Could you possibly drive something a
little more quieter in the morning?

I have to wake you up, don't I?

We were headed out of the woods one day,
and then a bear ran across the road,

and he jumped out and ran after it.

Pretty tough kid.

The news media very commonly
refers to us as loggers.

There were seven of us in the truck.

It was quite a long drive to get out there.

Right up on one of the highest points
in the Sitgreaves National Forest.

All right, boys.

Mike Rogers was the crew boss.

I had a contract to clear trees out
of an area, about 1,200 acres' worth.

- Trav?
- Yeah.

Him and Travis were real
good friends, you know?

- Help him out?
- Yeah, sure.

I had six men working for me.

I wouldn't have hired them unless they
were all hard-working, level-headed guys.

We were basically there
for the purpose of work,

and it wasn't a group of
buddies or anything like that.

John basically got along with everybody.

It was a tough job, and it
was a tough bunch of people.

Running a chainsaw, you had to
be fast and also be careful.

A chainsaw won't slice you, but it
tears chunks of meat out of you.

Kenny was a real straitlaced sort of a guy.

I was raised in Mormonism, and I'd
been married a couple of years,

and we had a baby.

I was planning on doing some other
things, but in the interim, I was gonna

work with Mike for a few weeks.

Steve Pierce was the
youngest guy on the crew.

I lied about my age to get the job.

They didn't know I was 17 at the time.

Mike thought I was 18, and I lied to him
because my mom was hurting for money,

and I had to go to work.

One of the guys had only
been on the job three days.

Dwayne Smith, I don't think he was
that used to that kind of work.

He wasn't stacking right, and
Mike jumped on me for it.

I didn't like that too well.

Allen was sort of the black sheep
of the crew, I guess you'd say.

Allen Dalis and Travis Walton, they
didn't get along with each other.

At one point during the
day, Allen cut a tree.

It fell close enough to me to
where it was kind of alarming.

I looked at Allen like, you know, watch it.

We were putting in some pretty long days.

You'd take a big, old
paper sack full of food,

and we'd eat about three
times a day, you know?

It was hard work.

The contract was behind, so I
was pushing them extra hard.

We worked until the sun was going down.

That's a long day out there, you know?

I can remember packing everything away.

That's what was my job.
I packed the gear away.

It was dark by the time we
got everything loaded up.

The path that we were following
was along this logging trail.

We really got to pick
up the slack tomorrow.

Everybody's pretty beat, you know?
They're pretty tired.

Enough about work, man.
Let's talk more about the women.

We were talking about this girl or
that girl or going out partying.

Does she have a sister?

She's got three sisters, right?

I love the girls, man.

We hadn't driven very far when we caught
sight of a glow through the trees.

Hey, guys, do you see all that?

- What is that?
- What the heck is that?

It was just little glimpses and glimmers.

Is it the moon?

At first, we thought it was the moon,

and then off to the left,
you could see the moon.

Moon's over here.

I thought, what in the heck is it?

Somebody said they thought
it was a forest fire.

If it were a forest fire, there'd
be smoke coming over those trees.

That's not fitting.
That doesn't look quite right.

Someone was saying that it
could be a crashed plane.

No, man. I've seen plane crashes before.

I'd been in the navy.
It didn't appear that way to me.

- Hey, Mike!
- I said, Mike, hurry up!

Let's get up there where we can see.

We come around this one bend,
and there's a clearing.

Stop the truck!

I was throwing the door open even
as the truck skidded to a stop.

It was... Boom.

UFO was just sitting there.

It was a clearly defined metallic object.

Hovering less than 100 feet away.

Perfectly still, 15 feet off the ground.

It was a white that I've never seen before.

And haven't seen since.

I'd never seen anything
defying gravity like that.

I could actually see framework.

It had panels that were lighted.

It was beautiful.

Ah, it was prettier than
a brand new corvette.

Travis.

It was terrifying, but it was beautiful.

Get back in the truck.

Everybody in the truck started yelling
at Travis to get away from there.

Frightened all of us.

The closer I got, the louder they got.

Travis!

He glanced back once, but
he didn't look scared.

I thought it would be gone before I got
close enough for it to be dangerous.

My heart was really pounding.

The closer I got to it, the more I
realized that it wasn't gonna take off.

It was really terrifying and
exciting at the same time.

But I was looking up at about a 45.

It was like glass.

It was making these strange sounds...

That suddenly got louder and more powerful.

Soon the light would be coming alive.

Like it was winding up to leave.

I knew something was
gonna happen right then.

Can I make a run for the truck?

This greenish blue light
came out and zapped him.

I really thought he was dead.

He went about 15, 20 feet.

I immediately thought they'd killed
him, and they were gonna kill us.

The guys were all screaming at me to leave.

They said, they've got him.

I felt the jerk of the pickup.

Hit the gas and took off down the road.

Everybody was yelling.

Complete panic.

Is it following us? Is it after us?

Mike kept saying it was following us, but
I don't think anybody was looking back.

I was terrified.

I truly feared for my life.

If the thing that we saw didn't scare
them, my driving certainly did.

Slow down!

- I want to go home.
- I saw it! I saw it!

- I know.
- What are you doing?

We got to get out of here.

We need to think.
We need to think about this. We can't...

Total confusion when we come to a stop.

Just let's think for a
second, guys, come on.

Brought to our knees like that.

I got to go. I got to go home.

A real traumatic experience.

Whew.

Um...

It was scary.

- I need to go home.
- We've got to go!

I can't be here anymore.

Just be quiet for a second, guys.
I've gotta to think this through.

- I can't stay here!
- I can't be here anymore.

Guys, just calm down.

Just calm down! Shh!

I got to think. I got to think.
I got to think.

Come back...

Just let me think for a minute.

Come on, man. Get back in the truck.

We've got to get home.

I knew we had to go back.

- Mike, we have to go.
- We have to leave.

The guys argued about it.

We got to get out of here, man.

- He's gone.
- He could just be uncon...

I thought the world was coming to an end.

We don't even know what happened.

You saw it. It hit him in the chest.

One of the other guys
said he was incinerated.

He went flying 20 feet.

- I saw it.
- You saw it.

I had assumed it had killed him.

He's incinerated. You saw it.

I said no, I seen him hit the ground.

He's there. He's there. He's there.

I'm gonna go back and check.
You guys can wait here.

So I told them, well, you can stand here
and wait, but this truck's going back.

I'll come back and pick you up, okay?

- Just wait here.
- The light!

I'll go back and...

All of the guys decided
to stay in the truck.

They didn't want to wait in the dark.

Either you're gonna go back, or you're
gonna be out beside the road by yourself.

I was thinking he was lying there,
and I thought we'd find a body.

You just knew he was dead.

We got back to the spot.

Travis?

The thing was gone.

Travis was gone.

He was right here.
I swear, we left him right here.

Travis, where are you?

We was all hollerin' for him.

Travis!

- Travis!
- Travis!

See he wasn't in the clearing,

so we started walking through
the trees around the perimeter.

- Travis, where are you?
- He's gone.

We stayed in a real close
bunch, shoulder to shoulder.

It was very scary.

Travis. Travis!

Mike realized he was gone.

Let's get back to the truck.

He kind of broke down.

I realized we left him there, you know.

I was very ashamed.

I can't!

We... We left.

Drove into town.

We can't go to the cops, man.

We got to... Let's just get out of here.
Let's go home, guys.

We were confused, not
knowing exactly what to do.

We can't go home.

We have to go home.

At least three of us were pretty
apprehensive about calling the law.

I didn't want to call the cops

because I knew the cops weren't
gonna believe us anyway.

They're never gonna believe us, man.

Yeah, my friend just got zapped by a UFO.
I can't find him.

Allen Dalis had been in
trouble with the law before

and said something to try to discourage it.

Mike, I can't talk to the cops.

That's what we had to do, you
know, to try to find him.

Mike was just too upset to
even make a phone call.

I didn't want to be the one to explain
it to somebody like a Sheriff.

I was afraid to tell them
anything about a UFO.

I need to report a missing person.

Said he'd be right over.

It'll be fine. It'll be fine.

Everybody was pretty close
to hysterical about it.

- We shouldn't have called the cops.
- We need help.

We don't have any other choice.

And it was awful lying about it because
you just cause yourself more problems.

There was no hiding that
something had happened.

We have to tell them what we saw.

Only thing you could tell him was...
Just tell him the truth.

I can remember him arriving.

He didn't look too happy.

Evening, boys.

What's going on?

I know this is gonna sound crazy.

You're never gonna believe
me, but we saw this thing,

and I think it was a UFO, okay?

I was looking at his face.

I was expecting total disbelief.

And it took our friend Travis, all right?

He's out there somewhere.
We don't know where he is.

All of them were trying
to talk at once to...

Explain what they had...

Apparently seen.

- We don't know what happened to him.
- Extreme light! I don't know...

You boys been drinking tonight?

Absolutely not. We've been working all day.

He looked over the pickup.

Anyway, so Travis gets out of the truck...

He thought we were drinking and
partying and stuff, you know?

All of them seemed to
be shook up with fear.

He's missing. He's out there.
You've got to find him.

Well, they were acting pretty excited but,

I thought they were just
putting on, really.

So what you're saying is, is this
here is a missing persons case?

Yes.

I did not put much stock in the UFO story.

They took him. He's gone.

Okay.

I thought it was a hoax of
some kind to cover up a crime.

That's a negative, Sheriff.

The next day, everybody headed back there.

We made a decision to get a
large search party in the area.

My primary thought was we would
be searching for a body,

or an injured individual.

We had about 60 men out there searching,
looking in all the brush piles.

If he'd wandered off in
a daze or something,

being as cold as it was, he
could've frozen to death.

In my mind, Travis is dead.

I ain't going back out there with 100 cops.

So while my mom was talking to them,
I just snuck out the back door.

I hid a lot after that.

The searchers just fanned out
in different directions,

searched for a mile or two and then doubled
back and take a different route back.

They found every piece of paper
and coffee cup and plastic bag.

We also had some volunteer
people with geiger counters.

I looked over and noticed these
guys had some instruments.

Excuse me.

I asked them what they were doing.

Just checking for radiation.

Are you finding anything?

Nothing. Just background radiation.

And I says, well, why don't you check us?

He ran this machine over me, and
there wasn't any radiation.

- You're clean.
- Okay, but we showered...

But then I remembered, you know, we had
all changed clothes and everything.

And I said, well, I have our hard hats.

Here. Check these.

All right.

And the needle went...

Seconds after that, they left.

Hey, do you know who those guys are?

What they're doing here?

Nobody knew who they were.

The second day of the search,
we had a helicopter.

They circled a wide area.

Our thoughts were that this
individual could have traveled,

a pretty good distance.

He might be holed up in some
abandoned ranch house or a cabin,

so we made it a point to check every
building 20 miles around the site.

Law enforcement officials say they are
treating this case as a missing person.

They are searching on foot and
by helicopter, just as they

would for anyone lost in this
rugged part of the state.

Five of the group knew Walton
for 3 to as much as 12 years.

The sixth met him Monday
for the first time.

The area around Heber is full of
deer hunters this time of year.

If Walton is there, searchers
believe he will be found.

If he is not found, his disappearance
will remain what it is now...

A mystery.

They were searching pretty thorough.

And the Sheriff was very serious about it.

But his deputy Sheriff was very skeptical.

You know, if you boys just
tell us where the body is,

we can get this over with and all go home.

He starts telling me, hey, tell
us what you did to Travis.

Huh?

He chuckled and he said...

I suppose Travis is halfway
up to Mars by now.

He told me that he was the best
bloodhound in Navajo County.

I know something happened up here.

Because I didn't believe
the story from the start.

If you tell us the truth,
we'll go a lot easier on you.

Hadn't thought much about,

the repercussions for us if, you
know, Travis wasn't returned.

All the boys have reported in.
They've seen nothing all night, Sheriff.

We made a thorough search of the area.

Unit two, you anything?

That's a negative, Sheriff.

And of course, we didn't find anything.

That's it for tonight. All right?

We did not find any sign of a crime.

We didn't find any indications of a UFO.

Sheriff's office. Deputy Coplan.
What can I help you with?

The news by then had spread worldwide.

No, it's a missing persons case.

We were trying to do our regular business,
and we just couldn't get anything done.

We only had one phone line.

Oh, for Pete's sake.

There's no aliens. There's no spacecrafts.

I always told them just what I thought.

Sheriff!

They didn't want to talk to anyone else.

They wanted the Sheriff.

Sheriff Gillespie.

I felt stress over the entire situation.

As far as we're concerned, this
is just a missing persons case.

Good-bye.

Just as soon as you hang
up, somebody else calling.

Sheriff Gillespie.

It felt like I had a telephone
growing out of both ears.

He's probably holed up
in the woods somewhere.

I got tired of it.

That's right. No.

Sometimes I was frustrated and
maybe a little short with them.

I'm going out for coffee.

Yes, Sir.

It'd been four days of searching,
and there was no trace of him.

That's when the accusations came around.

Most of town thought we'd killed him.

I'd hear shouts from people driving by.

Where's the body?

I started getting scared about it,
wondering where this was gonna lead.

Hey, boys.

At that point, my thoughts were
that they had done harm to this guy

and was trying to do
something to cover that up.

What's this?

You boys still sticking to your story?

It's the truth.

He thought they had probably knocked
Travis in the head and buried him.

How would you feel about submitting
to a polygraph examination?

What?

A lie detector test.

That's when the nervousness came in.

We knew we had to do it.

Did you really see a UFO?

Comment. Can you give us a comment?

My mom brung me.

Do you really think that
you saw a UFO that night?

Where's the body?

- Did you really see a UFO?
- You saw a UFO...

There was a lot of people there.

Do you think you'll pass
the polygraph test?

Lot of media, a lot of cameras.

They were really pushing us.

Where is the body of Travis Walton?

Did we kill him?

Do you really believe that
you saw a UFO that night?

- Where's the body?
- Did you really see a UFO?

- Can you tell us what happened?
- Tell us what happened.

I do remember telling them,
I don't know what it was.

It's not from this planet.

John!

- Where did you hide the body?
- John!

All right, folks.
Please leave the Courthouse steps.

You're gonna be here for a while,
so make yourselves comfortable.

I'd say we were locked up.

We were starting to get
pretty scared about it.

What if this is just a setup?

What if John didn't see the
exact same thing as me?

What if he says something different?
Then they think we're all lying.

They were all arguing with each other,
trying to decide what to say and...

I was scared to death, you know.

This don't feel good.

No, this doesn't feel good at all.

It was a bad day. It was a scary day.

We were introduced to a lie detector guy.

Gentlemen, this is Mr. Cy Gilson.

Cy Gilson was his name.

He'll be administering the polygraph tests.

Please give him your undivided attention.

Morning, all.

He was a top-rated polygraph
examiner in the state of Arizona.

I assume that nobody here has
gone through this before,

so I'll let you know what we're doing here.

I gave them a brief idea of
what we were going to do.

We start off with a series
of control questions.

He sounded and acted rather skeptical.

So those are the questions,
if y'all want to have a look.

And I was scared once I saw
what the tests were for.

I'm starting to realize
this isn't for a UFO.

This is for murder.

So those are the questions,
if y'all want to have a look.

- No.
- What's it say?

- No, it was not that kind of...
- What does it say?

What kind of questions are these?

We had a confrontation.

Are these questions set up?

We're trying to get at the truth here.

Is this a setup?

I want to know what kind of questions...

Allen Dalis' mother was telling us

that they were gonna set it
up to where we look guilty.

This isn't funny. This is our lives.

They didn't trust me to start with...

Even though they did not
know me or my reputation.

- This is the best way...
- We came here to show you the truth.

Mike, Mike, get your boys in order.

- Boys, please.
- Tell your boys to calm down.

The Sheriff guaranteed that
the tests would be fair.

Just relax, all right?

So I finally agreed to it.

See you all soon.

I was expecting that the
results would disclose

that they had done
something to Travis Walton

and this was a hoax to cover up a crime.

I was more scared that day
than the day we saw the UFO.

Because I thought we was gonna
go to prison for murder.

Steve Pierce.

You're up, son.

And I was the first one to
take the polygraph test.

All right, son, take off your
jacket and have a seat, please.

He was all business.

For your respiration.
This is gonna measure your blood pressure.

Okay, now I want you to relax.

He told me to be calm.

I want you to answer truthfully.

All right, son?

It was hard to be calm.

Take a few deep breaths, and remember,
it's important to tell me the truth.

He was the youngest of the group.

He would probably be the easiest
one to get a confession from.

Do you know if Travis Walton's body

is buried or hidden somewhere
in the Turkey Springs area?

No.

I figured, me being so nervous, that
I would flunk it no matter what.

Did you do anything physical to cause
Travis' death or to cause him injury?

No.

In my case, the tests were
looked on as having...

Ninety two to ninety
seven percent accuracy.

Are you telling the truth
about seeing a UFO?

Yes.

Took me about two hours or so for each one.

I would not tell any of the individuals

how they did when they
finished the examination.

I was by myself.

I guess they didn't want
us talking afterwards.

Ken Peterson.

He's an eager beaver.

I've had dreams about being
on my way to prison.

Did you do anything physical to cause
Travis' death or to cause him injury?

I don't know how much of an
emotional reaction you had to show.

No.

And the thoughts of ending
up in jail because he's gone

and we can't explain the
right reason for it.

John Goulette.

I was starting to get
quite worried about it,

especially when they weren't coming back.

Are you telling the truth
about seeing a UFO?

Yes, Sir.

Is it gonna show that I'm
lying because I'm scared?

- Are you telling the truth...
- Yes.

- Are you telling the truth...
- Yes.

Why are you asking me these questions?

Dalis and Travis had a personal conflict.

Did you do anything physical to cause
Travis' death or to cause him injury?

What kind of question is that?

He was not gonna cooperate at all.

Will you just answer the
question yes or no, Sir?

Why would you ask me that question?

He would move his arm or something,

and these movements caused
deflection of the pins,

and at the end, no determination
could be made with him.

The tests took all day
and up into the evening.

Where the hell is he going?

I wanted to have another examiner

review the charge first before
I'd give a final answer.

Hey, where are you going?

I don't know about you
gents, but I'm going home.

We'd ask him...

What about the results?

He says, I can't really discuss the tests.

We've been waiting all day.
You got to be able to tell us something.

I'm afraid Allen's test was incomplete.

We had to do a little pressuring.

What about the rest of us?

He says, as far as I can see...

Y'all are telling the truth.

Five of the six passed examination.

Just... My...

All the suspicion was just pressing down
on you, and then we could breathe easy.

Good day, gents.

And everything from that point...

Well, everything wasn't better but...

At least we were no longer
suspected of murder.

I don't think it's even possible...

For five of those individuals
to answer the same questions...

And beat me at my game.

Well?

I remember telling the Sheriff...

They all passed.

What?

- And, of course, he's...
- What about the UFO?

It's not a hoax.

I don't know what it was,
but they saw something.

He was a bit shocked.

I think, if I remember the
expression on his face.

They're not lying to you about that.

A little surprised, yes, I was.

Speechless for a matter of a minute or two.

But still there was no Travis.

It's me, Travis.

They brought me back.

I was laying on the edge of the highway.

I could see there was a
light coming from above.

But before I could shift my gaze...

The light went out.

I could see the bottom of this craft.

It just shot straight up.

I immediately shifted my
attention to, where am I?

I felt kind of unsure of my footing.

Took off running.

I was energized by the feeling of freedom.

I recognized the town down below.

I ran towards the lights.

Took every bit of strength
I had to get that far.

I called my brother-in-law.

It's me, Travis.

They brought me back.

He thought it was a prank call.

No, it's Travis.

I screamed, no, it's me!
It's me! It's Travis!

I'm at the gas station...

In Heber.

I just kind of collapsed.

It seemed like, boom, lights
coming into the phone booth.

Travis.

That light in the forest...

My brother Dwayne sat there next to me.

I tried to tell him what I'd been through.

It's okay.

I just broke down so much that he
said, okay, just don't try to talk.

We've missed you for the past few days.

Few days?

What do you mean days, you know?

My brother says, Travis, feel your face.

And I felt a five-day growth of beard.

We need to get you to a doctor.

I just kind of went catatonic there.

Kind of gave up.

I was in a constant state of terror.

The memories of what I'd been
through, I just couldn't let it go.

My brother Dwayne took me to Phoenix.

And set about trying to get me checked out.

His demeanor was compatible with
being through some type of...

Traumatic experience.

One might call it maybe slightly dazed.

We did some blood work on him...

Chemical tests...

Blood count...

Blood proteins.

I was looking for signs of trauma.
I was looking for signs of exposure.

What is this here?

The only sign of any trauma was a little,

possible injection site.

Then we went back to Dwayne's house.

Let's go.

- Dwayne spoke to the Sheriff.
- Dwayne Walton.

The Sheriff apparently already
knew that I had been returned.

Yes. Yeah, he's here.

They tried to discourage
me from coming to Phoenix.

No one is gonna see him until
I am satisfied he's okay.

The Sheriff was insistent that he
needed to interview me personally.

I immediately left Holbrook
and drove to Phoenix.

When I first went in the house,
Travis was sitting on a couch.

He looked like he was very tired.

There was a kind of a
tension, nervous tension.

And I said... Just tell me what happened.

What I related to the Sheriff was rather
broken and got a little confused.

I was in no condition to be interviewed
about what had happened to me.

I felt the law enforcement
was the victim of a fraud,

but we were not able to get
evidence that would lend

to any prosecution or
further investigation.

Travis Walton, on numerous occasions, told
friends he would attempt to make contact

if he ever came close
enough to a flying object.

The rest of the group is openly
criticized in Snowflake.

A town with a strong
family church foundation,

the young people with long hair
and anti-establishment attitude

don't mix well there.

It was becoming more and more apparent

that the news media had
gotten onto the story.

Dwayne Walton.

No. No, he's not here.

Dwayne's saying, well, yeah he's
back, but we took him to a hospital.

Tucson.

No, in a hospital.

Of course, then every hospital in Tucson
started getting calls from everywhere.

My brother, he really put himself
out there to protect me.

He's not able to speak at this time.

He was at his strongest
when I was at my weakest.

It just seemed like a nightmare
that wasn't going away.

You okay?

Pretty soon, the National
Enquirer's on his doorstep.

I hear your brother's back in town.

In exchange for an exclusive on the story,
they were willing to fund testing.

Give us a couple words of
what your experience was.

Just a few words... What really went on.

They arranged for us to
be brought to a hotel.

Travis, what did they take
from you while you were away?

What did they look like?

It was crazy. It was a madhouse.

Anything at all, Travis.

There was huge pressure for answers.

Travis, how long were you there,
and what did they do to you?

Tell us exactly.
The world is dying to know.

I had no concept of the ramifications
of cooperating with them.

The world wants to know tonight, Travis.

Travis...

I was so traumatized that I was basically,

dealing with things inside of myself.

I was at the mercy of some
pretty powerful forces

that had nothing to do with what I needed.

Just relax. You'll be okay.

Just let the doctor talk
to you for a minute, okay?

You'll be all right.

I hadn't even told the
entire story to my brother.

I just was so traumatized, I broke down.

It was suggested that hypnosis be done.

The purpose being to relate these details,

without so much of this overpowering fear.

Travis, I'm going to bring you
back to night of the forest.

I didn't remember anything at first.

I was just overpowered by the pain.

It was so hot and humid.

I could tell I was on some raised surface

because of how close the ceiling
and the light above me were.

I was struggling to breathe.

What's going on here?

What explains this pain?

And there was this sort of curved thing...

Down over my chest.

I became aware of the sounds
of movement around me.

People bustling around.

I thought I was seeing doctors.

Maybe somebody with a white
surgical mask and cap.

I recalled getting out of the truck and
the crew when they were yelling at me.

And I figured I must
have been hurt somehow.

Maybe the crew had taken
me to the hospital.

My vision abruptly cleared.

I just totally flipped out.

I was lying on my back looking up.

I could see that there was sort of a
rectangular light fixture above me.

You know, something gave me the
impression that I was in a hospital.

I could make out these vague forms
that I thought to be doctors

leaning close, looking at me.

I struck out with my arm.

The thing that was on my chest fell off.

The fear gave me the strength
to be able to stand up.

There was three of them...

Small, four feet or less.

Non-human but intelligent.

Intelligent and unemotional.

They were coming around
the table towards me.

I bumped into this shelf, grabbed
the biggest thing there.

Don't come any closer now!

I started lashing out at them.

Get away from me! Stay back!

Don't come closer! Stay away!

The fear was absolutely over the top.

Stay back! Get away from me!
What do you want?

Leave me alone! Stay back!

Adrenaline was surging through me.

Get away! Get away!

Leave me alone!

Get away! Leave me alone!

They stopped out of reach.

And all of a sudden, they
turned and just went.

My immediate fear was that
they would come back.

I looked to see if they
were still out there.

They'd gone to the right,
and so I went to the left.

As I moved down the passageway,
it was curving so tightly

that I couldn't see behind me very
far to see if they were pursuing me.

It was just this kind of blind hysteria.

I was out of control with fear.

Just thinking, I've got to find a way out.

I came to the next door.

This little room was empty
except for a chair.

I thought there might be one of
those creatures sitting in it.

I was feeling fear in every corner of
my mind and every inch of my body.

When I got to the side, I could
see there was no one in it.

That's when I felt safe enough
to move more into the room.

I was thinking that I could open a
door, and it would lead outside.

There was no doorknob, no button.

There was buttons on the chair, and I
thought, well, if I push those buttons,

maybe they open the door.

When I moved into the room...

It darkened, and I could see
little points of light.

I sat in the chair.

There was a degree of fear
about pushing a button.

Most of them didn't seem to do anything.

There was a lever there.

It made all these stars move together.

Hey.

I turned, and there was a man
standing there in the doorway.

I seized on the fact that this is
somebody that looks like a human being.

Hey! Where are we?

I thought maybe Air Force,
NASA, something like that.

But there was something odd about the eyes.

Help me, please! Please!

Where are we? What's going on?

What are those things?

I was asking questions.

Why aren't you talking to me?

He didn't speak.

Who are you?

I thought maybe it's because of the
helmet preventing him from hearing.

Why aren't you saying anything? Come on!

He took me by the arm.

Where are you taking me?
Where are you taking me?

I just thought that he
was there to save me.

Who are you?

I continued to try to talk to him, but I'd
kind of given up on getting an answer.

He took me through some doors.

Had to be a purpose to
step into this tiny space.

Then the cool air came in.

He wanted me to go down this ramp.

I looked back, and I saw that
we had just come out of a craft

like the one in the woods.

My eyes were still adjusting
to the brighter light.

I don't know if this was part of a larger
craft or, like, an airplane hangar.

It really seemed huge.

There was other craft in there, like
the disc-shaped craft we came out of.

I didn't know where he was taking me.

Not knowing is more terrifying
than the most explicit terror.

He took me through some doors.

There was a short hallway there.

These three people were standing there.

There was something about their eyes
that just seemed a little different.

These were my rescuers, right?

They were trying to get me
to lay down on this table.

No, please. What are you doing?

I started to get alarmed.

What are they gonna do to me?
Why do they want me to lay on this table?

No! No!

All three of them were wrestling me down.

Felt like I was fighting for my life.

I was totally terrified.

No! No!

One of them had this plastic mask.

I remember just getting my fingers under
the edge and trying to pull it away.

And then just...

That was the last thing I remembered.

It was some time before
I saw any of the crew.

We met up at Mike's house.

He was different.

Didn't act like Travis.

He looked pretty shook up.

He still had a great amount
of fear in his eyes.

Are you okay?

What happened?

The details are still quite foggy.

The story Travis told was really bizarre.

I remember being in the forest.

Hard to believe.

But he was very sincere.

What would I do but believe it?

Soon as he told me, I believed
it because I saw the first part.

Didn't think any way that a 22-year-old man

could be knocked to the ground
like that and just shake it off

and hide and think up some
story to tell people.

I didn't have any problem at all with it.

I'd known him for years.
I knew he wasn't a liar.

They were dealing with the
same kind of things I was...

Ridicule, suspicion.

People were desperate to explain
this away any way they could.

One theory said that Mike or my brother
or me hung up papier-mache in a tree.

I'm not even going there.
That's just ridiculous.

A model hanging in the tree?

I've sat and thought it
over many, many times,

hoping it would be something like
that, but it was not possible.

They just saw a ball of lightning.

There's no doubt in my mind of what I saw.

I could see the framework of this thing.

Some people said this was some kind
of a drug hallucination or psychosis.

There was no evidence for any
drugs in his urine or blood,

no evidence of any psychosis.

If it was a hoax, why
delay it for five days?

The law enforcement come up with the
idea that maybe the crew had hit

me on the head, slipped me drugs,
and then made up the whole story.

No, there might have been a couple
of times I wanted to hit him, but...

We didn't. None of us did that, no.

I think they just decided
that there was a way

that they could tell this
story and get in the news.

Who's gonna come into
town and tell a story...

That we know half the population
isn't gonna believe anyway?

I felt the law enforcement
was the victim of a fraud.

I need to report a missing person.

I think they used us to
enhance their story.

I think Travis was hid out
somewhere out there and...

Did a good job of hiding out,
because we didn't find him.

Travis wasn't hiding.
We didn't make the story up.

He didn't make the story up.
It was all for real.

Terrifying, but it was real.

We basically went our separate ways.

All of us experienced a
life-changing trauma.

It had a profound effect on my life.

I kind of took off and went
kind of wild for a while.

I didn't like being called a liar.

I didn't want people knowing
about it, so I left the area.

And for years, I never talked about it.

It was the most horrifying
experience of my life.

It was hard to come to terms with.

I got two brothers that don't believe
me, and my mom don't believe me.

That's the hard part. You tell the
truth, and people think you're lying.

I left Arizona and didn't come back.

It was an extremely hard
thing to go through,

and it's been very hard to
remember over the years.

I had nightmares and...

For a couple of weeks after that I was...

Like a little kid...

Afraid of the dark.

I was afraid to look out the window.

I mean, for a guy of 25 years old...

Being afraid you were
gonna see a spaceship...

Is something that I haven't gotten over.

I wish I could.

I know that Mike felt some guilt
about having driven away.

Maybe there was some recriminations.

That experience is still inexplicable.

It's still bothering.

I'm 100% sure of what happened to me.

I tested Travis in 1993.

Travis was not lying.

It did happen as he said it did.

Exactly as it said it did...

Because the questions
were made specifically

on facts that he claimed to be true.

It does surprise me that
they've stuck to the story.

Someday I would like to get the real story.

Just for my personal satisfaction.

I wish I had never gotten
out of that truck.

I'd rather it never happened.

Those who doubt will continue to doubt.

If people don't want to believe
it, that's their problem.

So I'm kind of left with that.
