What do you think about this?
On November 5, 1975, a 22-year-old logger named Travis Walton was riding home with six other men through the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in eastern Arizona when they saw a light through the trees.
It was not a campfire. It was a glowing disc, hovering above a clearing maybe a hundred feet ahead.
Travis got out of the truck and walked toward it. The other six watched as a beam of light from the underside of the craft hit him and dropped him to the ground. The truck driver panicked, threw it in reverse, and tore out of there.
When they doubled back a few minutes later, Travis was gone.
They reported him missing to the county sheriff that night. Within a week the case had national attention. The six surviving witnesses each took a state-administered polygraph examination. Five out of six passed. The one who failed retook it later and passed too.
Five days after he vanished, Travis turned up at a gas station 30 miles from where he had disappeared. He was dehydrated, terrified, and missing two days from his memory. The story he told about what happened inside the craft has not changed in 50 years.
Travis is a friend of mine on Facebook. I have heard him tell this story in his own words. I believe him.
What if everything he said really did happen?
