Josh Gates Revisits a Legendary Alien Abduction Case | Expedition Files | Discovery

The difference between
Justice sometimes
do when we get back, remind me that we
need to put some gas in the chainsaw for
tomorrow. For these seven young men, it’s
a night they’ll both never forget and
also struggle to remember. They’ve been
working all day, chopping down the pine
trees that cover these mountains. What
they don’t know is that their drive back
to town will become a road trip like no
other. One of these men will suddenly
vanish in jaw-dropping circumstances,
setting off one of the most gripping and
bizarre missing person cases in history.
Pretty soon, people all across the
country and the world will be asking
what really happened to Travis Walton.

In the summer of 1975, Travis Walton is a
member of a seven-man logging crew hired
to thin out trees in the Apache-Sit
Greaves National Forest. They’re a tight-knit, hardworking
group. Then, several months into the job,
on November 5th, as they head back to
town, everything in their world
[Music]
changes.
As they drive along the rocky
Forest Road that they’ve traveled
countless times before, suddenly the men
are stunned by a large mysterious object
floating in the sky.
What the hell is
that? While fear grips the rest of the
crew, something inexplicably draws Travis
Walton towards the
light.
“Come back here, Travis! Come back!”
“Hey, Travis, come on back here, man! Travis, come
on!”
Gripped with panic, his friends
flee the
scene.
15 minutes later, when the light
appears to be gone, they return to the
site to find nothing. No craft. No light.
No Travis. Their friend has vanished.
