Episode 57: Abducted

Luis and Angelo dive into one of the most famous and controversial UFO encounters in American history – the alleged abduction of Arizona logger Travis Walton.  On November 5, 1975, Walton disappeared after a group of seven forest workers reported witnessing a glowing object hovering in the woods.  Five days later, he reappeared with a bizarre story involving missing time, strange beings, and a journey aboard an unknown spacecraft.  The guys break down the eyewitness accounts, the polygraph tests that made the case famous, and the hypnosis sessions that helped recover portions of Walton's memories.  They also explore the physical evidence, the unusual medical findings, alleged government efforts to discredit the story, and the decades-long debate over whether the incident was an authentic alien encounter, an elaborate hoax, or something in between.  Because nearly fifty years later, one question still remains: what really happened during those missing five days?
