Episode Details

On November 5, 1975, a 22-year old logger named Travis Walton was working in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Heber, Arizona. Part of a 7 man logging crew, Walton was a hard worker out of Snowflake, Arizona, and had gotten along with his co-workers without any issue. It seemed like any other typical day. But when 6 loggers would tell police their co-worker, Travis, had been taken by a UFO, things would go from ordinary to perplexing and unbelievable. The Travis Walton UFO incident is one of the most well-known alleged alien abduction cases in history. But was it a hoax? A crime? Or a true alien encounter. This is the story of the Travis Walton UFO Incident.
