When Travis Walton Was Abducted And Probed For Five Days
National EnquirerA newspaper headline details Walton’s five-day disappearance, which he attributes to an alien abduction.
On Nov. 5, 1975, Travis Walton was purportedly abducted — and didn’t return for five whole days. When he did, he had quite the explanation for his disappearance.
Dismissed as a mentally unstable liar, Walton chronicled his alleged alien stories in The Walton Experience three years later, which was adapted into the science-fiction classic Fire In The Sky.
Walton’s abduction began after a long day’s work in Sitegreaves National Forest near Heber, Arizona. Walton and his six-man group of loggers were returning home when they allegedly spotted a shiny disc spanning 40 feet in diameter hovering in the sky above them.
“It was a metallic, glowing disc, making some very strange sounds,” he recalled. “The closer I got to it, the more scared we all got and they were swearing at me to get away from there, and when I got up close, it suddenly got louder and started to move.”
Walton then claimed that “non-human” beings abducted him and experimented on him until he fought them off. He has maintained this claim for 45 years. But as the beings purportedly poked and prodded at him on a kind of table, five days elapsed on Earth where Walton was officially declared missing — and his coworkers became suspects.
“I became conscious inside the craft. And I believed I was in the hospital,” said Walton. “I was in a lot of pain. And as I became more conscious, I looked around and I saw alien beings and I just panicked.”

“They were much smaller than me, and I think that’s the reason they gave up,” he said, adding that he hit one of them. “Once they found out they couldn’t control me, they split. I was absolutely terrified.”
Meanwhile, Walton’s colleagues were questioned by authorities, and when Walton miraculously reappeared, a full-scale investigation was launched that included polygraphs, psychological evaluations, and physical examinations.
“For five days, the authorities thought he’d been murdered by his co-workers, and then he was returned,” said ufologist Jim Ledwith. “All of the co-workers who were there, who saw the spacecraft, they all took polygraph tests, and they all passed, except for one, and that one was inconclusive.”
In the end, the Walton case remains as inconclusive as all of these alien abduction stories do. Curiously, however, later research conducted at the site of Walton’s abduction showed an unusual growth rate in the trees where the craft had allegedly hovered.
The trees near the site were found to be producing wood fiber at a rate 36 times greater than they had in decades before.
The UFO Abductions Of Audrey and Debbie Hewins From Their Childhood Room
Audrey and Debbie Hewins not only claimed that aliens exist, but that alien abductions do, too — and they’ve experienced them.
“I was probably about five years old or so,” said Audrey, “and a bright blue light would come into the room and the door would open, and there would be like, a foggy kind of misty blue light, just shining through the whole house. And these two figures would come in.”
Though Audrey’s first alien abduction allegedly occurred during childhood, she claimed these visitations continued well into adulthood.
“We have been together on abductions,” stated Audrey. “We have been up in crafts and seen our house from above. So we realized they are not from here. They are very good at mind erasing or whatever you want to call it. They’ll leave you with bits and pieces of things you can remember.”
Debbie added, “I remember one time being on a spaceship and standing there on the spaceship and the floor and the walls disappeared. And I was staring at the Earth.”
Though the twins refer to these entities as “the Bald Men,” what they’ve described to people willing to listen closely resembles what ufologists have dubbed alien Greys, or simply Greys. Greys are alleged to be a type of extraterrestrial being that is human-like in form, grey-colored, and with an enlarged, hairless head.
The twins said they pleaded with their parents not to put them to bed for fear of encountering the bald men, but the adults simply dismissed these alien stories as a ruse to stay up longer.
“They started doing all kinds of experiments on us when we were 12,” said Audrey.
While she was initially hesitant to come forward, Audrey claimed that after a non-human entity saved her from drowning in the ocean, she was inspired to dedicate her life to openly discussing her alien abduction experiences.
Neuroscientist Robert Davis, who was one of the first professionals to lend his support to the twins, explained that Audrey and Debbie Hewins’ experiences are “shared by many thousands, if not millions, worldwide.”
“It’s unreasonable to think that they would all be lying or reporting dreams and fantasies,” he said. “These events are consistently reported and should be taken seriously by everyone, in spite of their uniqueness.”
