One of the most famous alleged alien abductions occurred on November 5, 1975, in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in Arizona. Travis Walton, a logger and member of a seven-man crew, disappeared after all members of the crew witnessed a bright, saucer-shaped object hovering over their location. Walton claimed that as he approached the object, a beam of light suddenly appeared and knocked him unconscious.
The case was extensively investigated, and the other crew members, who were initially suspected of foul play, were polygraphed and found to be truthful about their sighting of the UFO and Walton's disappearance.
The night of October 11, 1973, forever changed the lives of Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker, two men who claimed to be abducted by extraterrestrial beings while fishing on the Pascagoula River in Mississippi. Subsequent investigations, including lie detector tests, indicated that Hickson and Parker were genuinely distressed and unequivocally believed in the reality of their incredible encounter.
The famous Bigfoot encounter in Bend Oregon by Gary Joanis and Jim Newall in 1957, before Bigfoot had become a household name. In a moment that defied explanation, an immense being took their freshly killed deer, disappearing back into the treeline... leaving the witnesses with some of the most descriptive information on what they saw.
A classic sighting by William Roe in 1955, before the Bigfoot craze hit mainstream. Not only was Roe an unimpeachable witness who was widely known to be trustworthy and reliable, but his report included a wealth of detail that is rarely found.
