Episode notes

Nearly fifty years after one of the most famous alien abduction cases in history, Travis Walton joins us to reflect on his extraordinary experience. In 1975, Travis disappeared for five days after a mysterious encounter in the Arizona woods — an event witnessed by six of his coworkers and later dramatized in the Hollywood film Fire in the Sky. Now, half a century later, Travis shares where he stands on that life-altering event, how it shaped his life, and what he believes it means today in the larger UFO conversation.

We’re also joined by filmmaker Jennifer Stein, director of the award-winning documentary Travis: The True Story of Travis Walton, who takes us behind the scenes of her research and why this case continues to resonate with believers, skeptics, and UFO investigators around the world.

From the beam of light in the forest to the ongoing debates about truth, trauma, and extraterrestrial contact — this is the definitive conversation on the Travis Walton case, fifty years on.
