Join a tribute to Travis Walton on the 50th anniversary of his epochal UFO incident, known over the globe!
Four years in the making, filmmaker Jennifer W. Stein and co-producers Bob Terrio and Peter Robbins combed archives for news clippings, TV news stories, and interviews of logging crew members, the sheriff in Heber, AZ, and a polygraph tester, involved in the mysterious disappearance of the 21-year-old logger who was struck by a craft's blue beam. Left for dead, the crew sped off, returning shortly to find Travis gone. He re-surfaced five days later, after being left on a roadside 30 miles from home.
