So, let's go. What are you doing? We playing with magnets?
Yeah, man. I'm checking out all your toys. Would you say this guy's name is Travis?
That's Travis Walton. And he's a guy that got abducted, allegedly, by some sort of a UFO in the 1970s. And the story was so crazy that it became a movie. It's called Fire in the Sky. And I don't know, like I said, I don't know if he's telling the truth, but it's very compelling. He doesn't seem like a liar. And he's been telling the exact same story for 40 plus years.
I think he's telling the truth.
You think so?
Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. I don't know. I don't know anybody. I mean, personally, I don't know anybody who's kept up a lie for that long.
There's got to be someone. There's got to be someone that's like – I think people can make a story up and then only keep that lie. Usually generally when people lie about stuff, they'll lie about a bunch of stuff, especially something that crazy. They took me aboard a UFO and they fixed me. So this is the story. The story was – These guys were all loggers in Arizona. And so they're driving down this logging road and they see some crazy light in the sky and it goes into this area. They pull off to the side of the road. They walk towards it and there's this disc that's like hovering, this glowing disc. He walks towards it. And he got really close to it, and he got hit with a beam of light. And he falls back.
Like, that's supposedly what it looked like. That's the art. The art depiction of it, what these guys saw. He gets hit with this beam of light and they take off. They're like, fuck. And they did jump back in the truck and take off. He's lying on the ground and they get like five minutes away and they're yelling at each other. We got to go back. We got to go get him. They were scared and said, fuck it, let's go back. So they go back to go get their friend and he's gone. So five days later, there's, you know, there's a manhunt for him. Nobody can find him. Five days later, he shows up, walks into town. He's fully, it doesn't look like he's starving to death. He's not out of water. Doesn't look like he's been living in the woods.
It just looks like he, just like a normal day. And he tells this crazy story. He tells this story that he got abducted. They took him aboard this craft and fixed his body because the beam of light that came out of the ship from whatever it was, whatever energy source it was, fucked his body up. They repaired it, and they communicated with him telepathically while they were on the ship. I forget all the details of it, but this is the film of it. But this is supposedly what he said the experience was like. He said it was terrifying. And he described – the thing that's crazy is that they all describe the same exact creatures. They describe these little – Who is they? People that get abducted.
Oh.
People that have had UFO experiences, anybody that's had direct contact. Did you ever see that movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind?
I saw that movie, The Fourth Kind, when I was in middle school.
What's that one? Is that an abduction one where they come get you?
Yeah, it's like, man, I only watched it once. It scared the shit out of me. I think people go on there like hypnosis, and they remember what their abduction was like or something like that.
Yeah.
Yeah, don't quote me on that.
Well, the third kind, I think, is Contact. Contact. I think Close Encounters of the First Kind is like you see it. I don't know what the second kind is. There's like a list of the kinds. The fourth kind, derived, explains J. Allen Hynek's classification of Close Encounters with aliens. The fourth kind denotes alien abductions. Dun, dun, dun.
Yeah, that one. I like how we talk about aliens like it's like feeling on a girl, like second base. Did you get to the fourth kind? Get to fourth base. She takes you home. Yeah. But his friends, they're like his friends that left him. Yeah. I mean, they saw it.
Yeah.
They all had the same story. That has to be real.
