Travis Walton's Terrifying Abduction Encounter: A Deep Dive Into The Alien Experience

Since the 1940s, people have been gradually become accustomed to hearing stories about sightings or encounters with alleged flying saucers and alien space crafts. But the story of a man being taken up into a spacecraft and experimented on is fairly rare, which is why when Travis Walton narrated his strange experience, he got the attention of the world.

I've lived in AZ all my life, my parents let me watch Fire in the Sky as a kid. It scared tf out of me cause we had a cabin in Crown King. I thought aliens were going to get us

If you've seen the paranormal witness episode you can tell his coworkers were traumatized from this event. One guy is terrified to look out his window at night.

Out of all the abduction stories, I believe this one the most.

The moral of this story is when your friends tell you to stay in the truck....you stay in the truck.

spoke to Travis at a ufo thing for like 5 minutes , totally legit dude ... something happened to him

[Mreffs]

I'd never heard about Travis' mom's reaction before. It makes me wonder if she was aware Travis had been taken before and knew he would return but never shared that with Travis when he was growing up. Maybe it runs in their family, as some abductees claim to have been studied over generations. Maybe his mom had been taken before which was why she was so nonchalant about it.

I hung out with Travis one time at a MUFON convention. Cool guy. He seemed pretty legit and very stoic. He told me other details about the encounter, even saying a lot of the movie was earn exaggeration. Unless he’s a pathological liar…I believe him.

Fire in The Sky scared the hell out of me as a kid

Best presentation of this incedent ever..👽🛸

I’m more surprised that the town is named after two guys Flake and Snow rather than weather precipitation .. I’ve already come to terms aliens exist, but a town named Snowflake that has nothing to do with weather, my mind is blown.

[StephanyChills]

I live in a town in Oregon that is in the movie 'Fire in the Sky'. I drive past the store when he . reappears. The hospital is a local building also. It was interesting to see this movie even though this happened in AZ to see locations I know personally

[lewisdutra]

One of the most disturbing UFO cases of abduction and no signs of victims profiting off the experience...Just these poor men and Travis traumatized and afraid of what out in the Stars/Sky's during night or day time.

You've done 2 stories right near my town. This one and Saint John's Arizona. We're popular.

I know in the movie “Fire in the Sky” the scene where he in the UFO was made up but that has to be one of the most horrifying scenes ever.

I have never doubted Travis's story or the storyteller didn't of his friends. I first learned the story when the movie came out fire in the sky . Is story was very frightening the things that he saw and the things that they did to him. His abductors did not seem to have much empathy fortunately they did not keep him as in the movie there were definitely cadavers aboard that ship. And it absolutely change all of their lives forever. And the interior of the ship was like a cave and they were very insect like

[JacquelineSamm]

Always been fascinated by this case and always believed Travis and the crew. This affected at least one of them deeply (aside from Travis) and still does. The film was brilliant too.

I read an idea that the blue beam was a part of, or an effect of the propulsion system. The beings did not know Walton was out there until the beam struck him. Realising he could be badly injured they took him onboard to treat his injuries and allow recovery.

Robert Patrick (played T 1000 in T2) and DB Sweeney were the 2 main actors Mike and Travis in Fire In The Sky a excellent film from the early 90s.

[jpicard]

Fire in the sky is absolutely terrifying

[amywood]

I read somewhere that he said he hasn’t been sick since this happened to him
