It is a story that has baffled law enforcement, fascinated UFO researchers, and divided skeptics for half a century. A young logger vanishes in the Arizona woods, in front of six witnesses, only to reappear five days later - confused, dehydrated, and claiming he was aboard an alien spacecraft. What really happened to Travis Walton? Did he have an extraterrestrial encounter, or did he create an elaborate hoax?
So, put on your tin foil hats, my spooky friends. You are about to hear the tale of a man who claims that he was kidnapped by aliens and still suffers from lingering effects to this day.
