Fire in the Sky: The Walton Experience

Walton's first-person account of his November 1975 disappearance during an Arizona logging job — a claimed five-day abduction that triggered a massive search and briefly made him a homicide suspect — remains one of the best-documented alleged abduction cases, with all six of his coworkers passing polygraph tests on the sighting itself.
