Back in 1975, logger Travis Walton was working out in an Arizona forest with his colleagues when he reportedly went missing in a flash of blinding light. Police searched for him for five days, but found no trace, and at first thought that maybe his friends had murdered him. But then, Travis returned, and had a bizarre story to explain his absence: he’d been abducted by extraterrestrials. On this episode, Tom and Jenny are discussing the ins and outs of the so-called “Fire in the Sky” incident, which was made into a film in 1993. Was Travis Walton really abducted by aliens or was it all just an elaborate prank? And as a bonus, our news segment features another UFO-related story: the mysterious disappearance of Granger Taylor, who went missing in 1980 after building his own homemade spacecraft and whose case has recently been reopened. Keep watching the skies and keep listening to 13 O’Clock as we blast off into episode 86.
