Wednesday, November 5, 3:00 & 7:00 pm 

Travis Walton will participate in a Q&A session after screening the documentary film "Travis: The True Story of Travis Walton" with filmmaker Jennifer W. Stein and Travis Walton.  The Travis Walton UFO incident is world-famous, and so is Travis Walton. November 5, 2025 is the 50th anniversary of Travis's terrifying ordeal.

As a 22-year-old American forestry worker, he encountered a UFO craft with his fellow logging crew members on November 5, 1975, while working in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Snowflake, Arizona.  During this encounter, Walton was missing for five days and six hours. After five days of searching with scent dogs and helicopters, Walton's coworkers underwent polygraph examinations to determine if they were involved with Travis’s murder and cover-up when no trace of Walton could be found. 

After Walton reappeared by the side of a road near Heber, Arizona, Walton’s case received mainstream publicity and remains one of the best-known UFO encounters and alien abduction stories.  Naturally, his experience has been the subject of major debunking efforts by famous UFO debunkers like Philip J. Klass for decades. In 1978, Walton wrote a book about his experience, The Walton Experience, which was adapted into the 1993 Paramount film Fire in the Sky.
