Description

On November 5, 1975 a group of loggers in the mountains of northeastern Arizona observed a strange, unusually bright light in the sky. One of those men, Travis Walton, recklessly left the safety of their truck to take a closer look. Suddenly, as he walked toward the light, Walton was blasted back by a bolt of mysterious energy. His companions fled in fear. When they reported an encounter with a UFO - something they would have considered impossible if they had not. Witnessed it themselves - the men were suspected of murder. For five days authorities mounted a massive manhunt in search of Walton - or his body. Then Walton reappeared, disoriented and initially unable to tell the whole story of his terrifying encounter. In Fire in the Sky Travis Walton relates in his own words the best documented account of alien abduction yet recorded, the story of his harrowing ordeal at the hands of silent captors and his return to a disbelieving. World of hostile interrogators, exploitative press and self-styled "debunkers". Travis recounts the struggle to get a fair hearing, and confronts his detractors with a stinging rebuttal.

First Sentence

Before giving the eyewitness account of the sighting and subsequent events, I want to appeal to reason and briefly explain why I go into the matter once more, after so much time.
