TRAVIS: The True Story of Travis Walton
A DOCUMENTARY BY ONWINGES PRODUCTIONS, LLC
Driving home after a day of clearing brush in the forest, six lumberjacks come upon a 40-foot disk hovering silently over the crest of a ridge. As if spellbound, Travis Walton jumps from the passenger side of the truck, running towards it for a closer look.
That decision November 5, 1975 would change him forever.
The 21-year-old logger from Snowflake, Arizona was struck by a powerful blue beam of light from the craft. He disappeared for five days, igniting a firestorm of controversy aimed at the logging crew who were the last to see him.
Travis Walton’s 1975 experience comes alive as he recounts the ordeal. TRAVIS combines new and archived interviews with the logging crew, police and the polygraph examiner.
Walton explains how this event changed his life forever, as the media, skeptics and debunkers attacked him, his friends and family.

Her plans gelled when she met Travis Walton in 2010.
Travis would assemble his logging crew and contact the key figures who managed the case in 1975.
She would create a virtual site tour for conference attendees should bad weather prevent the hike up to Mongollon Crest (trailhead elevation 9,000 ft.) She and fellow filmmaker Bob Terrio shot a prelim, Tracking Skyfire with Travis narrating.
