1
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: You're listening to Unexplained, Season four, episode twenty, the Homecoming,

2
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: Part two. Not long after Grant Neff hung up the phone,

3
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: in the early hours of Tuesday morning, just over thirty

4
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: miles away in the Navajo County Sheriff's office in Holbrook,

5
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: Sheriff Marlin Gillespie was enjoying a rare moment of peace,

6
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: with the search for Travis Walton called off for the

7
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: day and all his deputies gone home. The well liked

8
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: lawman took a moment to reflect on the events of

9
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: the previous week. First and foremost, a young man was missing,

10
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: and no matter what anybody else said, though he couldn't

11
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: rule anything out, it was his duty to take the

12
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: family at their word that they knew nothing about any

13
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 1: of it, and if so, that was a family desperately

14
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,199
Speaker 1: worried about the fate of a brother and a son.

15
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: Of the rest of it, he couldn't make head nor tail.

16
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: He certainly wasn't ready to accept that Travis might genuinely

17
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: have been attacked and possibly even abducted by a UFO.

18
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: And yet, as his own man sy Gilson had attested,

19
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: Travis's co workers, in all statistical likelihood were telling the

20
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: truth about what they'd seen, and hadn't he too seen

21
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: the odd unexplained object or light in the sky from

22
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: time to time, driving those quiet forest roads alone at night.

23
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: Just then the phone rang startled Gillespie grabbed the receiver.

24
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: The local phone company had traced a call placed close

25
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: to midnight to Allison and grant Net property from outside

26
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: a gas station in Haber, the town closest to where

27
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: Travis had gone missing. It must be him, thought Gillespie.

28
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: And yet if it was Travis, why hadn't he called

29
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: the police instead. It was barely thirty minutes later when

30
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: Deputy Chuck Ellison and Lieutenant A. M. Romo, on Gillespie's orders,

31
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: pulled up to the Haber gas station. With the place

32
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: completely deserted. Ellison and Romo made their way over in

33
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: the dark to the three phone booths at the front

34
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: of the store and began dusting for Prince. In the end, however,

35
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: there were just too many to be able to tell

36
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: whether Travis had been there or not. Meanwhile, at the

37
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: junction of Highway seventy seven and two seven seven, the

38
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: road out to Phoenix from Snowflake, Deputy Glen Flake roused

39
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: from bed by an excited Gillespie sat in his patrol

40
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: vehicle keeping a firm eye on the road ahead. By

41
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: two am, however, he'd seen no sign of any vehicles

42
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: belonging to the Walton family. A short time later, Flake

43
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: pulled up to Travis's mother, Mary Kellett's home. Seeing lights

44
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: on inside, he stepped out of his car and quietly

45
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: headed toward the front door when he noticed Travis's brother,

46
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: Dwayne siphoning petrol from a vehicle on the driveway. Surprised

47
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: to see the deputy, Dwayne explained that he had been

48
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: late getting back from the Sheriff's office earlier in the day,

49
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: so had missed the chance to get more gas for

50
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: his car in preparation for his return to Phoenix that morning.

51
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: Since Dwayne said nothing about Travis, Flake thought it reasonable

52
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: to assume the perhaps it wasn't him, after all, that

53
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: had called the neft property earlier that night, And with

54
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: that he said his goodbyes and returned home to bed.

55
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: It was around lunch time the next day the reports

56
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: began filtering through that Travis was back and being treated

57
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: in a hospital in Twucson, Arizona. Angered not to have

58
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: been kept in the loop a deeply frustrated Gillespie is

59
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: finally called by Dwayne late on Tuesday to inform him

60
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: that Travis isn't in Tucson after all, but at home

61
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: with him in Glendale, just outside of Phoenix. Dwayne was

62
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: still talking when Gillespie slammed down the phone, grabbed his

63
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: hat from the peg, and piled into his patrol car.

64
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: In the past five days, Gillespie's office had spent over

65
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars looking for Travis, damaging several expensive vehicles

66
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: in the process. One of the department's horses had also

67
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: been put down after sustaining a devastating injury during the search.

68
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: Coupled with the count less hours Gillespie had put in

69
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: fielding one call after another from news outlets all over

70
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: the world regarding Travis's bizarre disappearance, it was fair to say,

71
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: at the very least, the sheriff deserved some answers. It

72
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: was late in the evening by the time Gillespie arrived

73
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: at Dwayne's house. At first sight of the sheriff, Dwayne

74
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: did his best to apologize for not alerting him sooner,

75
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: while insisting that he only had Travis's best interests at heart. Unmoved,

76
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: Gillespie demanded to see Travis immediately. Dwayne hesitated for a

77
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: moment before showing the sheriff through to the living room.

78
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: Gillespie was in the process of detailing exactly just what

79
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: length his department had gone to to help Dwayne and

80
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: his family when the sight of an exhausted looking Travis

81
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: stretched out on the sofa stopped him in his tracks.

82
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: It wasn't that he seemed physically different, although he'd never

83
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: seen Travis with five days of beard growth before, but

84
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: something about his demeanor had changed. Then Gillespie realized what

85
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: it was. It was shock. The sheriff quietly took a

86
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: seat next to the young man and began by asking

87
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: him to describe everything he could remember about the last

88
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: few days. Travis glanced nervously toward Dwayne, who nodded for

89
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: him to begin. As Travis went on to recount, he

90
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: remembered being up on the ridge in the forest, seeing

91
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: the object glowing in the trees, and then having the

92
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: overwhelming urge to get close to it. He just turned

93
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: back to see Mike and the others begging for him

94
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: to return to the truck when he was engulfed in

95
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: a blinding white blue light. In an instant, he felt

96
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: as though he'd been hit on the back of the

97
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: head by a baseball bat, and that his whole body

98
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: was being electrocuted. The next thing he knew, he felt

99
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: as though he was waking up from a deep sleep,

100
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: but in excruciating pain, as if his whole body had

101
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: been burned inside and out. Finally opening his eyes, he

102
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: found himself lying down on some kind of table with

103
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: a large rectangular light above him. Gathering his thoughts. Though

104
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: he didn't recognize the place, he assumed he was in

105
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: a hospital of some sort, thinking that he must have

106
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: sustained an injury on the job and his friends had

107
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: brought him in. Looking down his body, he could see

108
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: that his shirt and jacket had been pushed up towards

109
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: his shoulders, leaving his chest and belly exposed over which

110
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: seemed to be some kind of device. Scanning his body slowly,

111
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: With his eyes beginning to focus, he was able to

112
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: make out three blurry figures stood around him, dressed in

113
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: bright orange and wearing white surgical masks, which he assumed

114
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: to be doctors, only realizing with horror moments later when

115
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: he locked eyes with one of them that these weren't

116
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: like any doctors he'd seen before. Panicking, he leaped from

117
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: the table, knocking the scanning device to the floor. As

118
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: two of the figures approached, Travis stumbled back into some

119
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: kind of instrument tray. Then, grabbing whatever came to hand,

120
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: he prepared to defend himself. It was only then that

121
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: he observed the figures properly for the first time. They

122
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: were each about five feet tall, uncannily familiar with their

123
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: two arms, legs, and five digits on each hand, but

124
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: that was where the familiarity ended. Their bodies seemed unusually

125
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: light weight, while their skin was bright white, without a

126
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: crease or wrinkle anywhere to be seen. Their eyes were

127
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: big brown discs about an inch and a half in diameter,

128
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: and their hands had no fingernails. As Travis went on

129
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: to explain, he was just about to attack them when

130
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: they ran from the room, leaving him all alone. Seeing

131
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: his chance, he bolted out into the corridor and ducked

132
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: into some kind of control room, which was completely empty

133
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: except for a chair in the middle of it covered

134
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: in levers and buttons. But as he made his way

135
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: toward it, the walls began to disappear, revealing a giant

136
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty degree panoramic map of the stars

137
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: that wrapped all around him as if he were standing

138
00:09:51,200 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: alone in the vastness of space. Moments later, Travis was

139
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: joined in the room by what he assumed at first

140
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: was another human man of large muscular build wearing a

141
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: blue outfit and a bubble helmet over his head. Only

142
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 1: when Travis saw the intense color of his electric blue

143
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: eyes did he realize he wasn't human at all. Travis

144
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: pleaded for his help none the less. In response, the

145
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: being led him through an air lock into what looked

146
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: like some kind of aircraft hanger. Stepping out onto a ramp,

147
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: Travis realized he was exiting some kind of craft that

148
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: was similar to what they'd seen in the woods, but

149
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: considerably larger in size. From there, no longer feeling any pain,

150
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: he was led through another series of doors and corridors,

151
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,359
Speaker 1: until finally he came to a bright white room occupied

152
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: by three other figures similar to the man who led

153
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: him there. The beings then lifted him on to a

154
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: table and faced some kind of respiratory device over his face.

155
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: The next thing he knew, he was lying on the

156
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: pavement in the freezing dark, staring up at the stars

157
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: in the night sky. Looking frantically about, he realized with

158
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: relief that he was back in Arizona, somewhere on the

159
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: highway just outside of Haber. Dehydrated and disorientated, he stumbled

160
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: to the Haber gas station, from where he made the

161
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: call to his sister's home. It was all true, insisted Dwayne,

162
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: as he then explained to the sheriff. He'd been out

163
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: at his mother's home in Snowflake when they got the

164
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: call from Grant, their brother in law, informing them that

165
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: Travis was alive. Having raced off with Grant to pick

166
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: him up from the gas station, they found him huddled

167
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: down inside one of the phone booths, still wearing the

168
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: clothes he'd gone missing in despite it being well below freezing.

169
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: According to Dwayne, Travis was so traumatized when they arrived

170
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: that he tried to run away, not realizing who Dwayne

171
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: was at first. When they finally got him in the car,

172
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: the clearly disorientated Travis was convinced he'd only been missing

173
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: for a few hours. When Dwayne then told him to

174
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: feel the beard on his usually clean shaven face. Travis

175
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: was shocked to find it had been more like five days.

176
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: Sheriff Gillespie ran a hand through his hair. Could it be,

177
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: he asked, that he really was hit on the head

178
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: by a baseball bat. Perhaps one of his co workers

179
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: had done it and then drugged him afterwards. Perhaps he

180
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: really had woken up in a hospital after all, but

181
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: the effect of the hit on the head and the

182
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: drugs had left him confused and discombobulated. But the brothers

183
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: were having none of it. For a start, there was

184
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: no injury to his head, nor to any other part

185
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: of his body for that matter. According to Dwayne, this

186
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: was one of the first things he checked when Travis

187
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: got home, shortly before helping him into a hot bath

188
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: to warm him up. He also claimed to have weighed

189
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: his brother beforehand, finding that he'd lost at least ten

190
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: pounds in the days since he'd disappeared. That first day

191
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: since Travis's apparent return had been an eventful one for

192
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: Dwayne and his brother, as they went on to explain

193
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: to Sheriff Gillespie, it was back during the search for

194
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: Travis that Duane had been approached by William Spaulding from

195
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: the Ufology Group Ground Source a Watch, an organization first

196
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: founded in nineteen fifty seven that sought to provide a

197
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: legitimate outlet for people to report sightings of unusual aerial

198
00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: phenomena without the fear of ridicule. Having dealt with a

199
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: number of similar cases before, Spaulding advised Dwayne to contact

200
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: him should Travis be found alive. In return, GSW would

201
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: provide a free medical examination and shelter from the inevitable

202
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: media storm that would follow in the hope of gaining

203
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: proof that he had been abducted by an unknown sentient species,

204
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: if indeed that was the case. As it transpired, according

205
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: to Dwayne, Travis was already back at his mother's house

206
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: in Snowflake the night Deputy Flake saw Dwayne in the

207
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: driveway siphoning gas for his car. Realizing that he wouldn't

208
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: be able to keep Travis's apparent return a secret for long,

209
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: Dwayne informed the press that he was being taken to

210
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: a hospital in Tucson to recuperate from his exhausting ordeal.

211
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: That morning. The pair then traveled to Phoenix, whereby they

212
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: immediately contacted Spaulding, who gave them an address for a

213
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: doctor Leicester Stewart, who would be conducting the medical exam.

214
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: When they arrived there soon after, however, the brothers were

215
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: surprised to find doctor Stewart's office located in a fairly

216
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: run down westward Hoe hotel. They only became more concerned

217
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: when they saw the sign on doctor Steward's door, which

218
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: read hypnotherapist. After thirty minutes or so of Travis detailing

219
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: what he could about his missing five days, it became

220
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: clear that not only was Stuart Ill equipped to carry

221
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: out a full medical exam on him, but that he

222
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: wasn't a medical doctor at all. Returning home, frustrated, Dwain

223
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: was then contacted by Coral and Jim Lawrenson from another

224
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: UFO organization called the Aerial Phenomena Research Group. Much like

225
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: Crown Sourcer Watch, APRO prided themselves on their rational scientific

226
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: approach to the UFO phenomena, with large staff of consulting

227
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: PhD scientists among them, most notably doctor James Harder, a

228
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: civil and hydraulics engineering professor from the University of California, Berkeley.

229
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: Famed UFO researcher j Allen Heineck described APPRO as one

230
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: of the best civilian organizations of its day. Still desperate

231
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: to prove what had happened to him, Travis agreed to

232
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: then let Apro conduct the medical exam. That afternoon, doctor

233
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: Howard Kendall, predominantly a pediatrician and general practitioner, Doctor Joseph

234
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: Saltz arrived at Duane's house to assess the apparent abductee.

235
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: Are you always taking care of your family? Do you

236
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: often take care of others and not yourself? Now it's

237
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: time to take care of yourself, to make time for you.

238
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: You deserve it. Tele Adoc gives you access to a

239
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,200

251
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: la DC dot com slash Unexplained podcast. Kendle and Salts

252
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: were shown into a bedroom where Travis was waiting for them,

253
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: lying down on the bed in his shirt and jeans.

254
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: Doctor Kendall's report would later state that from the moment

255
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: they saw him, it was clear that Travis was suffering

256
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: from extreme stress and anxiety. Kendall and Salts observed that

257
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: his vital signs were all normal, with no overt signs

258
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: of weight loss, though his mouth was unusually dry, suggesting

259
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: a high level of dehydration. Examining his body for any

260
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: signs of bruising or damage, curiously, doctor Kendall discovered a

261
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: two millimeter wide red spot in the crease of Travis's

262
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: right elbow, much like a needle puncture wound. Travis suggested

263
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 1: that it might have been a thorn wound picked up

264
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: at some point while he was working out in the forest.

265
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: After the preliminary examination, Dwayne then handed doctor Kendall a

266
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: jar that he claimed contained Travis's urine, which William Spaulding

267
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: had advised him to collect. The sample was later found

268
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: to be normal, displaying no evidence of drug use or

269
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: anything else untoward, with the exception that it contained no

270
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: trace of acetone. Had Travis not eaten in the last

271
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 1: few days, ordinarily acetone, which is created when fat stores

272
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: are broken down in the body, would be present. If

273
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: Travis had indeed lost ten pounds, an absence of acetone

274
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: would have been deeply unusual. Intriguingly, the doctors also noted

275
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: that the combination of Travis's unmarked body and the fact

276
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: that it was relatively odorless despite apparently not having used

277
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: any soap since his return, seemed to suggest that wherever

278
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: Travis had been for the past five days, it wasn't

279
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: outside in the woods. Sheriff Gillespie, having listened to it

280
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: all with quiet patience, thanked the brothers for bringing him

281
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,239
Speaker 1: up to speed, then stood up to leave. Sensing the

282
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: sheriff wasn't entirely convinced by the story, Travis made a request.

283
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: Since his co workers had taken a polygraph test, it

284
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 1: only made sense that he should be able to take

285
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: one too. Perhaps then people might believe him. We'll be

286
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: in touch, said the sheriff, before thanking the young men

287
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: again for their time and heading out. The following day, Wednesday,

288
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: November twelfth, Travis and Dwayne were moved into the Sheraton

289
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: Hotel in Scottsdale, courtesy of the National Inquirer. By the

290
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies, The Inquirer, a notorious and controversial tabloid that

291
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 1: had previously promoted fascist causes, was enjoying a resurgence as

292
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: the nations go to paper for all things celebrity and bizarre,

293
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: with a particular interest in apparent altercations with UFOs. Having

294
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: managed to get hold of Coral and Jim Lawrenson before

295
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: Travis's medical examination, the paper struck a deal with both

296
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: Travis and APRO to cover all costs in their efforts

297
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: to prove he was telling the truth. In return, Travis

298
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: gave them exclusive rights to his story. Later that afternoon,

299
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,959
Speaker 1: doctor James Harder of the University California, Berkeley arrived at

300
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: the hotel to conduct a regressive hypnosis session with Travis,

301
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: in which, while apparently under hypnosis, Travis repeated the exact

302
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: same story he told everyone else about his experience on

303
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: board a UFO. Afterwards, Travis is informed by Sheriff Gillespie

304
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: that a polygraph test has been arranged for him in

305
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: two days time, to be conducted by sy Gilson, the

306
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,719
Speaker 1: same individual who tested his coworkers. The test is agreed

307
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,479
Speaker 1: to on the one condition that it remained a secret

308
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: from the press. However, the test is abruptly canceled at

309
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: the last minute by Dwayne when he receives a call

310
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: from a reporter an hour before the test is due

311
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: to be taken, wanting to know where it's taking place.

312
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 1: The next morning, a new story breaks in the Phoenix

313
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: Gazette with the headline ufocase is linked to drugs by expert.

314
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: The expert turned out to be none other than doctor

315
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: Leicester Stewart, the hypnotherapist that Duane and Travis had blown

316
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: off after spending only a few minutes with him at

317
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: his office in the westward Hoe Hotel. Only the way

318
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: Steward told it, it had been more like two hours,

319
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: in which he had ample time to assess the patient.

320
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: It was his conclusion that Travis had made the entire

321
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: thing up, going on to speculate that his cosmic visions

322
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: had been nothing but the hallucinatory effects of LSD. William

323
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: Spaulding was also quoted in the article stating that in fact,

324
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: it had been Dwaine and Travis that specifically asked him

325
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: to set them up with a hypnotherapist. Spaulding, having only

326
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: days before been so convinced of Travis's story he was

327
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: willing to offer them financial support to prove it, was

328
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 1: now convinced more than ever that it was all just

329
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: a hoax. Though we can never know for sure whose

330
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: version of events is the truth, it has been pointed

331
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: out that it would have been physically impossible for the

332
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: Walton brothers to have spent even one hour with doctor

333
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: Stewart and got back to Dwane's home in time to

334
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: receive the later phone call from Coral and Jim Lawrenson.

335
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 1: That doctor Stuart was found not to even have a

336
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: license to practice medicine in the United States also cast

337
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: further doubt on his credibility. The sudden attack, as some

338
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: have suggested, appeared to have been made out of spite

339
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: more than anything else, in retaliation for Travis's rejection of

340
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: Spaulding's help. The following week, doctor James Harder released his

341
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: own assessment to Travis on behalf of apro coming to

342
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: the conclusion that, one way or another, whether the events

343
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: had occurred or not as Travis said they had, Harder

344
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: had little doubt that, at the very least, Travis believed

345
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: he was telling the truth. Harder's assessment was made partially

346
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: from the medical evidence, but also on account of another

347
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: apparent abduction case that had supposedly occurred three months previously.

348
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: The case involving US Air Force Sergeant Charles Moody had

349
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: never previously been reported, and yet Moody's description of the

350
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,959
Speaker 1: beings that he allegedly encountered bore a striking similarity to

351
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: those described by Travis, also being five foot tall, with

352
00:24:55,520 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: large bald heads, large eyes, and unusually light weight body.

353
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: The National Inquirer would eventually publish the story, for which

354
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: Travis was paid two thousand, five hundred US dollars equivalent

355
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: to twelve thousand dollars today, with each of his co

356
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: workers receiving just over four hundred dollars. Over time, the

357
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: national interest in Travis's story began to die down, until

358
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: eventually the news outlets stopped calling, and the colorful array

359
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: of out of towners and UFO buffs headed back to

360
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: wherever they had come. From By the new year, Sheriff Gillespie,

361
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: still none the wiser, with no one to prosecute or

362
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: charge for Travis's bizarre disappearance, closed the case two months later.

363
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: In February nineteen seventy six, Travis, Dwayne, and their mother

364
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: Mary would all be given polygraph tests set up by

365
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 1: the Aerial Phenomena Research Group, which concluded that all three

366
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: were telling the truth with regard to their own experiences

367
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: during those extraordinary days in November nineteen seventy five. In

368
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: the months and years that followed, the people of Snowflake

369
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: remained divided, with some convinced it was a hoax and

370
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: others not entirely sure. Being a Mormon settlement, many took

371
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,719
Speaker 1: umbridge to the heresy at the heart of Travis's story

372
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: that the creatures he'd encountered were very much not in

373
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: what they considered to be God's image. Though they accepted

374
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: that God had created other worlds and populated them with people,

375
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: that those people might look a little different was a

376
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: stretch too far for their beliefs. As for the rest

377
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: of the crew, the event appeared to affect them in

378
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: different ways. Kenny Peterson would eventually leave the town making

379
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: his way to Mexico, where he married and settled down

380
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: for a time before returning to Snowflake. Though Mike Rogers

381
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: was stripped of the Turkey Springs contract, he was eventually

382
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: paid in full for the unfinished job and continued to

383
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 1: work successfully as a contractor. Dwayne Smith and Allan Dallas

384
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: later underwent hypnotic regression, and both maintained their original version

385
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: of events pertaining to the night that Travis disappeared. Despite

386
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: all the many strange looks and subsequent mickey taking that

387
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: came with being part of the story, John Goulette had

388
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: no regrets, saying later only that he was glad to

389
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: have experienced it. All seven men involved have never altered

390
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 1: their story once to this day, with Steve Pierce, who

391
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: was suffering from financial hardship at the time, even said

392
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: to have turned down a ten thousand dollar offer to

393
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:53,959
Speaker 1: retract his story. Travis Walton would eventually settle down and

394
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: marry Mike Roger's sister Dana, with the pair taking up

395
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: residence above a local store on Snowflake's main Street. In

396
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy eight, he published a full account of his

397
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: story in the book The Walton Experience, that was later

398
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: adapted into the nineteen ninety three film Fire in the Sky.

399
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: He continues to lecture about his apparent abduction today. In

400
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: the summer of nineteen seventy six, a report was produced

401
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: by journalist and prominent UFO skeptic Philip Class that purported

402
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: to provide a detailed forensic analysis of Travis Walton's story,

403
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: demonstrating that it had been entirely fabricated. Class's claim hinged

404
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: largely on new and highly controversial information that he'd unearthed

405
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: during his investigation. As it turned out, the polygraph test

406
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: that Travis eventually took in February nineteen seventy six was

407
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: not the first polygrapht he'd taken on the subject of

408
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: his apparent abduction. In fact, he'd sat for one as

409
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: early as November sixteenth, less than a week after his return.

410
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: Organized by the Aerial Phenomena Research Group and witnessed by

411
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: a representative for the National Inquirer, the test was conducted

412
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,959
Speaker 1: by John McCarthy, the director of the Arizona Polygraph Laboratory,

413
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: who determined on balance that Travis was not telling the truth.

414
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: Both the National Inquirer and at PRO agreed not to

415
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: publish the result. It was a few nights later, the

416
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: Deputy Glen Flake was sat in the Navajoe County Sheriff's

417
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: office in Holbrook, fielding one call after another from news

418
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: outlets across the world, desperate to know more about the

419
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: forestry workers and the UFO. With the phones finally having

420
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: calmed down, Flake was taking a moment of downtime when

421
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: a burst of static from out of the station radio

422
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: was followed by a flurry of excited voices discussing a

423
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: strange light that was currently hovering near the mountains just

424
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: to the east. Flake listened in as the voices to

425
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: deputies stationed at Pinetop, a town just fifty miles to

426
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: the south, detailed the light and how it seemed to

427
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: just be sitting there in the sky and slowly changing

428
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: from red to white to blue. Seconds later, a third

429
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: voice broke in in excitement, another deputy, this time from

430
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: Saint john Sheriff's station, about forty miles to the east.

431
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: They could see too, whatever it was, he said, it

432
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: was no aeroplane. Deputy Flake grabbed his coat, stepped out

433
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: into the freezing cold night, and turned his eyes to

434
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: the east. Well, I'll be damned he said, as there

435
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: clearly discernible in the sky just above the forest sat

436
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: a small bright light changing slowly from red to white

437
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: to blue. Unexplained, the book and audiobook, featuring ten stories
