On November 5, 1975, in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Snowflake, Arizona, a group of seven loggers—including Travis Walton were driving home after work. According to their account, they saw a glowing, disc-shaped object hovering in the woods.
Walton reportedly got out of the truck to get a closer look. As he approached, a bright beam of light shot out from the object and struck him, knocking him to the ground. The other men panicked and drove away, believing he had been killed. When they returned shortly after, Walton was gone.
