Fire in the sky, or Fraud in the air? - Examining the disappearance & reappearance of Travis Walton

*Re-recorded* On November 5th 1975, a group of loggers in Arizona were returning home from a long day of wood cutting in the Sitegreaves National forest when they claim they encountered an object hovering in the night sky. One of the loggers, Travis Walton -exited their truck to get a closer look at it, when he was struck and rendered unconscious by a beam of light. Terrified, the other loggers fled, they returned minutes later and discovered Travis was missing. Five days later, Travis returned with a story that tests both skeptics and believers to this day. Was this an actual case of alien abduction, or an elaborate hoax? Recently discovered evidence may answer the questions surrounding this case.
