Episode 108 - The Abduction of Travis Walton

On November 5, 1975, Travis Walton was working with a timber stand improvement crew in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Snowflake, Arizona. While riding in a truck with six of his coworkers, they allegedly encountered a saucer-shaped object hovering over the ground just off the road. What follows is touted as one of the most compelling alien abduction stories ever told. Join us as we attempt to make sense of the five days he supposedly spent aboard an alien craft.
