Travis Walton to Speak at Midwest UFO Conference Auguswt 14,15, in Columbia, Missouri.
From the Missouri MUFON's press release:
Travis Walton's story is one of the most well-documented cases of alien abduction in the history of Ufology. His book "Fire in The Sky," was made into a hit movie of the same name.
Walton will present "FIRE IN THE SKY Then and Now: An Update," a wide-ranging, illustrated discussion of the incident, the investigation, the making of the movie, what's new and much more. The presentations begins with an introductory video made up of interviews with the actors, clips from the movie, and excerpts from various TV interviews with the real-life participants. It concludes with a question and answer period, which always seems to bring out some unique takes on things. Walton's talk will begin at 7:00 PM Saturday, August 14 at the Conference.
"On November 5, 1975 a group of loggers in the mountains of northeastern Arizona observed a strange, unusually bright light in the sky. One of those men, Travis Walton, recklessly left the safety of their truck to take a closer look. Suddenly, as he walked toward the light, Walton was blasted back by a bolt of mysterious energy.
His companions fled in fear. When they reported an encounter with a UFO---something they would have considered impossible if they had not witnessed it themselves---the men were suspected of murder. For five days authorities mounted a massive manhunt in search of Walton---or his body. Then Walton reappeared, disoriented and initially unable to tell the whole story of his terrifying encounter.
In "Fire In The Sky," Travis Walton relates in his own words the, the story of his harrowing ordeal at the hands of silent captors and his return to a disbelieving world of hostile interrogators, exploitative press and self-styled "debunkers". Travis recounts the struggle to get a fair hearing and confronts his detractors with a stinging rebuttal.
Now hear the real story behind the hit movie from Paramount---a detailed expose' of the campaign to suppress Walton's story, and the first-time revelations of startling new developments.
