The Travis Walton Affair: Abduction, Polygraphs, and Hollywood
Episode 38
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
We unpack the 1975 logging‑forest incident that sparked a national debate, examine the polygraph tests that followed, and explore how that case fed into the wider lore of alien abductions, ancient astronaut theories, and the language we use to talk about unexplained sky events. From the Hills abduction narrative to the rise of the UAP designation, we trace how testimony, media, and science intersect in the quest to understand whether humanity is alone.
