World famous abductee to hold 40th anniversary UFO conference

Forty years ago this November, one of the most well-known mass sightings and alleged extraterrestrial abductions took place 135 miles northeast of Phoenix in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. I’m talking, of course, about the Travis Walton incident, which involved Walton and a crew of 6 other loggers, who encountered an intensely bright light in the evening sky as they were driving home after a long day of clearing the forest; an encounter which would change their lives forever.

It was November 5, 1975, when Travis Walton, Mike Rogers, Ken Peterson, John Goulette, Allen Dalis, Steve Pierce, and Dwayne Smith observed this unusual, unexplainable light in the forest ahead of them. On closer inspection, the men could see that the light was coming from a soundless, motionless, metallic craft. In a manner of seconds, a curious Walton had leapt from the truck to get a closer look, and before the men knew it, the craft sent forth some kind of energy beam which struck Walton, sent him flying through the air, and left him lying lifeless on the ground. Scared witless and fearing the worst, the crew took off, only to return a short while later and find that Walton had disappeared!

Once the crew had returned to town and notified authorities, Walton’s disappearance became local, then national, then international news. A massive manhunt was launched to no avail. After accusations of foul play began circulating, the crew took and passed lie detector tests. But it was Walton’s reappearance, 5 days later, looking disheveled, disoriented, and distressed, and relating a strange tale involving human and non-human like beings with huge dark eyes, which propelled the story into notoriety, and eventually became the subject of the 1993 film "Fire in the Sky," written by Tracy Torme.

This November 5, join Travis Walton for the Skyfire Summit, a return to the forest 40 years later to recount his ordeal at the very spot it took place. Experience firsthand the stories from those who were witness to this incredible event, including the first responder to the scene! Hear Tracy Torme recount his journey to present Walton’s story on the silver screen. Listen to lectures by David Childress, James Fox, Leo Sprinkle, Phd., Lynne Kitei, M.D., Lee Speigel, Paola Harris, Ben Hansen, Ruben Uriarte, and Noe Torres, all well-known speakers in the field of Ufology, and attend the panels moderated by our Master of Ceremonies, Alejandro Rojas, radio host, journalist, and Operating Manager of OpenMinds.tv. Observe the night sky using the newest and technologically advanced infrared and night vision scopes provided by former FBI Special Agent and SciFy’s Fact or Fact host Ben Hansen. And top off the experience by attending our Saturday night banquet which will be followed by a screening of "Travis: The True Story of Travis Walton", the newest documentary chronicling the Travis Walton incident, by Jennifer Stein.

The conference will be held November 5-8 in Overgaard, Arizona, with a pre-conference excursion to the forest site on November 5, and lectures and panels running November 6-8. This is sure to be an exciting, informative, and once-in-a- lifetime experience you won’t want to miss, so get your tickets now! Tickets are limited!
