About this episode
Travis Walton and Mike Rogers reunite to recount the most documented UFO abduction case in history, which occurred in November 1975 on Arizona's Mogollon Rim. Rogers, the work crew foreman, describes the evening when his crew encountered a glowing disc hovering above the forest at 7,500 feet elevation. The men watched in terror as Walton approached the craft and was struck by a beam of light, disappearing for five days. Rogers recounts the immediate aftermath, the disbelief of authorities, and the intense scrutiny his crew faced during Walton's absence. Walton shares his memories of the experience aboard the craft, describing encounters with gray beings and the advanced technology he witnessed. The discussion addresses skeptics' claims, polygraph tests, and the psychological toll of going public with their story. Both men reflect on how the incident changed their lives and affected their relationships with family and community. The conversation examines the evidence supporting their account and addresses discrepancies in media portrayals, particularly the Hollywood film "Fire in the Sky." This compelling firsthand account provides unprecedented detail about an extraordinary encounter that continues to influence UFO research and popular culture decades later.
