The Travis Walton UFO incident was an alleged alien abduction of an American forestry worker, Travis Walton, by a UFO on November 5, 1975, while he was working in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests near Snowflake, Arizona.
Walton reappeared after a five-day search.
The Walton case received mainstream publicity and remains one of the best-known alien abduction stories.
Skeptics consider it a hoax.
Walton wrote a book about his purported abduction in 1978 called The Walton Experience, which was adapted into the 1993 film Fire in the Sky.
