Alec Brindell & Travis Walton

A movie was done about Travis Walton some time ago. Travis's story happened in 1975. He and his some coworkers had a job where they performed the duties of loggers. On the way back home , going through the forest, they encountered a light shining through the trees. As they got closer to it, it was unmistakeably a UFO. One of his bussies blurted that out as a type of reaction to what they say. Travis decided to go and walk up to it. His friends were yelling at him to not do it and come back. He got all the way up to it and all of a sudden was jolted by this light and thrown backwards some 10-20 feet or so. His friends said that by the way his body reacted during the theow that maybe he was dead. He did not respond at all. The guys took off out of fear then came back only to find that Travia disappeared. The guys then went to the police to report what had happened. The police obviously thought he was murdered. But the guys swore up and down that what they saw was true. There was an intense search done to find these guys. We're talking ATVs, helicopters, man-hunt side-by-side thing to find him. They scoured every inch of the area where the guys said they saw Travis get hit. The police were at the point of reeling these guys in as the primary suspects. That is until Travis made a phoen call to his family and was found some distance away from his own town, naked, scared, and freaked out.

Travis later recounted a story having been taken aboard a craft, waking up inside of it, and wandering aroudn that ship. He went into a room with something like a star map that filled the entire space and when he touched a button, the whole room's star orientation changed and he almost fell over.

A humanoid figure came into the room, escorted him out then put this mask on him that knocked him out. The interesting thing about this case, to me, is the part where the police searched everywhere for him and then he appeared. That's the evidence past that many people have a hard time dealing with. Of course, you have the types who think he faked the whole thing.

---The Presentation.
Travis started us off by showing us some clips from the movie, some actor interviews, then went into how reality was different from that of the movie.

He sid that they weren't at all tired when they were driving back home as in the movie. When they vamp upon the craft, he did approach it the same way as in the movie. He said that he just thought it wouldn't DO anything to him. He admits he was scared.
He showed us some pictues of the original crew, the truck they drove, the part of the state where it happened, a drawing of the ship. It said it was incredible as far as size. He said it looked PERFECT like a new corvette. He said it was metallic and glowing. IT was somooth like glass with a light that lit up everything and gave everything a sort of glow. There was a low, deep rumble that he could almost feel. He also said there were some really high-pitched notes that must have been close to out of range of human hearing. He said the ship started to get louder then started to move. IT scared him. He was in the process of backing up and touched a pile of log debris. He jumped behind that debris to go for cover as the ship was moving. He raised up from behind the log to run and then was hit. It was a stunning blow feeling. He said it felt numb. He then blacked out. His buddies said that a beam of light came out of the craft and hit him. Travis very adamantly says that he does not blame his friends for running like they did. He says they thought he was dead and it just made sense to try and protect themselves. Contrary to the movie, the guys did all go back to find Travis. In the movie, only the brother went back alone. Travis said it's silly that anyone would think the guys would stand there alone in that forest.

When the guys reported their story to the sheriff , the sheriff said he immediately believed them but many people thought it was just a cover story for some sort of foul play. TW said the guys were constantly being asked to tell the truth of what really happened. They even said they would take a polygraph test. Sure enough they did and they all passed. PEople were desperate to explain this away but evidence like this makes it impossible.

The first thing he recalls after being hit wit the beam was that he was very confused. He remembers approaching the craft. He was laying on a table.. raised surface. So he logically thought he was in a hospital. He had trouble breathing, couldn't get enough air. There was a light above him. He thought if he moved that would make the pai nworse. Besides, he thought he was at a hospital and did not want to move too much thinking the doctors would take care if him. He looked to his right and saw the face of something that did NOT look like a Doctor. He said the surge of fear gave him enough strength to move. Even though he was weak , his push was more like a nudge. TW says many people don't understand the degree of fear he was experiencing. This makes it difficult for people to understand why he did some of the things he did. When he rolled off the table, he staggered away from the beings. They came toward him. He fell back against a shelf or something. He grabbed something off it and tried to hit them. He was constantly screaming stuff and they eventually stopped coming at him. They had their backs to the doors. TW made the comment that these guys had ey e lids, pupils and such. He said they were looing at him in a disturbing kind of way that he will never forget. He said it was a detached sort of look that makes it hard to describe. He obviously is still touched by that experience. TW was thinning how he could fight past the to get through the door. They stopped, turned , and went out surprisingly to TW. TW walked out of the door, went down a passage way. He said it curved to the right very far down. He didn't know if he should run more or stay where he was already. HE came to a door, well what he thought was a door, and went through it. He showed us a drawing of the path he followed... well more like a floor plan. He found a round room with a chair in the middle with controls on it. He touched he controls but says they didn't seem to do anything. He did mention the part about the stay pattern again. It gave him vertigo. He was about to push another button when something caught his attention. The man looked exactly like a himan. He was wearing a blue uniform with a glass bubble-l;ike helmet. The man did not talk to him at all. The man too khim out of the craf into a big hangar. The hangar was huge with other craft in it. The man herded him out of this hangar to a smaller hallway. There was someone else there dressed like the first man. The other men did not have on a helmet. Travis attempted to talk to these people but they just did not respond to him whatsoever. They forced him over to a table. They put a mask on his face and he was knocked out. The drawing of these other people was very interesting. They looked just like us. They were very healthy-looking, white skin, long hair. When he woke up, he saw a craft just above his head. He said that the craft shot up so quickly that it amazed him that soemthing could move that fast without breaking the sound barrier. Turns out he was about 15 miles from the town where he lived.
At points TW seemed to almost have a hard time talking about some of this. Oddly enough, I got that same impression yesterday when I was talking to him about the fear part of his experience. Apparently, his beother died recently, like 3-4 days ago.

TW said the doctorss said he had Transitory Psychosis. He had a ton of tests, psychiatric tests and everything showed that he was perfectly normal. Drug screens came out negative as well. Then there was another acusation that he a hypnotist might have planted these ideas in his head. More or less the story aft wards was a huge mess. He did his best to tel the story and even wrote a book about the whole thing.

He said that the tress in the site where he was taken showed a very distrinct growth pattern. He showed a really cool graphic of a tree with 1975b marked in one of the rings and you could clearly see that the tree was developing wood fiber many more times. So the rings after 1975 grew at a much quicker rate.

TW says there were many attempts of people to try and cover this story up. ONe time a FED agent came in and was very aggressive and intimidating. He said he came in on behalf of forestry company. He wronte a confession and tried to make TW's brother sign it! Right around this time the copy of thte sheriff report went missing.

Even after his first book came out, then sold out, the publishing company wouldn't make anymore. He asked for his rights back and they said why would you want to do that when you've got some much more publishing life in it?!

Travis believes that people, in particular Phillip Klass, was used to put out disinformation over and over. In an interview, Phillip Klass said that why didn't the dry pine needles burn up in the area where the blast occurred. Personally, I find that absurd. We don't know anything about the ET technology so how does he know it's incendiary in any way?

A quote from him was "For those who believe no evidence is necessary. For those who do not no amount of evidence will ever be enough". (paraphrased)

I do believe TW's story and I can tell he's very sincere about what he's telling us. I have enjoyed his presentation.
