Storyline
| Plot Summary |
On the evening of November 5, 1975, a group of loggers saw a bright crimson light in a forest in White Mountains, Arizona. Curious, Travis Walton goes out for a closer look and is pushed to the ground by a blue-green energy beam. His co-workers escape in terror and they inform the police that Travis has been abducted by a flying saucer. For the next five days, Travis remains missing and the loggers endure ridicule and contempt as they are accused of murder. When he is found alive, Travis is unable to account the missing days, but the amazing ordeal slowly begins to emerge. |

| Quotes |
Blake Davis:
We got a proposition for ya'll. I want you to take a lie detector test. If you're telling the truth, it'll sure strengthen your cause. Mike Rogers: [looks at the others] We'll think about it. Blake Davis: I got a good man right here in the state. I mean, you can take it today, tomorrow, anytime that ya'll feel... Mike Rogers: I said, we'll think about it! Lieutenant Frank Watters: Why don't we have a little talk, Mike. Outside. [they both go outside] Lieutenant Frank Watters: Young Greg told us the truth about the cut on Dallis's hand. It wasn't a paper cut, was it? He had an altercation with Travis on the day of the disappearance. Isn't that true? Mike Rogers: I guess. Lieutenant Frank Watters: I think you're startin' to get a pretty good feel for who I am, Rogers. I've been at this line of work for a long time. You know what's startin' to bug me? I think maybe you didn't kill your friend. But for the life of me, I can't figure why you're coverin' up. See more » |
