Walton’s Missing Time (November 5, 1975)
Logger Travis Walton disappeared for five days after his logging crew witnessed a bright UFO in the Arizona forest. The six other crew members passed lie detector tests about seeing Walton approach the craft before being struck by a beam of light. Police initially suspected foul play until Walton reappeared, dehydrated and confused. He described being taken aboard a craft and examined by strange beings. Multiple witnesses in the area reported unusual lights during the five days of his disappearance. The case generated significant media attention and remains one of the most thoroughly investigated abduction claims.
