HEBER/OVERGAARD — “They forced me down on the table, but I lost consciousness, and the next thing I remember is waking up on a highway,” recalled Travis Walton on the 40th anniversary of his abduction by an unidentified flying object.

To mark the occasion, Walton hosted a Skyfire Summit UFO conference in Overgaard last weekend.

“I didn’t know how much time had gone by but later found out it was five days and six hours. I was badly injured and could feel the cold of the pavement, but my clothes were warm. I saw the disc shoot off into the sky and then saw the lights of Heber/Overgaard.”

On Nov. 5, 1975, Walton was part of a seven-man logging crew working in the Sitgreaves National Forest near Heber. As they were leaving that night, they all saw a bright light off to their right. When they got closer, they saw a bright saucer-shaped UFO hovering about 20 feet over a clearing.

Walton was the only one who got out of the truck to investigate.

“I was awestruck and entranced by the beauty of the thing. I thought it would take off, but it didn’t and I didn’t appreciate the danger I was in,” said Walton during a panel discussion at the conference with two of his former crew members.

At the discussion with Walton were Mike Rogers, the driver of the truck, and John Goulette. It was the first time the three of them had been all together in 40 years.

Conference attendees asked the men questions about what they saw and how they felt. Rogers and Goulette recounted how after Travis was knocked to the ground by a bright, blue-green beam of light, they drove away in blind panic. Rogers stopped the truck about a quarter mile away, and after seeing the spaceship leave, they went back, but Walton was gone.

Asked how he felt when he heard they left him, Walton responded: “I didn’t fault them. What Mike and the crew did was understandable and they showed common sense. For them to come back that soon unarmed was heroic.”

Rogers said they shouldn’t have left and he didn’t think it was heroic.

Asked how long it took them to get back to “normal,” Walton replied that some of them never did get back to normal but it was an ongoing process they have accepted.

“It affected my life for about two weeks,” Goulette said. “But I went somewhere no one knew me or talked about the event. Four out of five people in town let us know they didn’t believe us. It’s the opposite now. I realized about three years ago that a lot of people here have had their own experiences.”

Rogers said he didn’t like all the media attention and wouldn’t talk about it for many years.

“I was nicknamed the reluctant celebrity,” Walton said. “I never liked it or the attention, but along with the burden comes a certain amount of responsibility. Lots of people are afraid to speak about what happened to them. This helps them to be vindicated.”

Walton has continued to live in the area.

Rogers said this was the first time he’s been to one of the events or conferences and only went this time because Walton asked him to.

“It took him an hour to answer me,” Walton noted.

“I want to spend more time with them,” Rogers said. “We shared an experience that should have bonded us, but we spread out. Steve (Pierce) changed his name and hid out for 30 years. I’ve learned a lot about people from this.”

The conference started on Nov. 5 and ran four days to Nov. 8. Hundreds of people came from around the country to attend the conference, which also featured experts on UFOs and some of the law enforcement officers who investigated the event 40 years ago.

On Thursday, Nov. 5, some attendees planned to take a trip to the site of Walton’s abduction, but the rain and snow a few days earlier made the trip impossible.

A second trip was held that Sunday and over a hundred people journeyed to the site on four school buses or in their own vehicles.

Ben Hansen, a former host of the TV show “Fact or Faked: The Paranormal Files” traveled on one of the buses. He is a good friend of Walton’s and helped organize the event. He is also the co-director of a new documentary called “Travis.”

During the trip, Hansen recounted the site surveys done, the fact that there were a group of hunters in the area who years later told Walton they saw the lights of the space craft and that he has been to the site seven times.

“I came alone once at night,” Hansen said. “It was spooky.”

The area of the event 40 years ago was burned in the Rodeo-Chediski Fire in 2002, and the old logging road they had been on has been decommissioned by the Forest Service.

Two of the four school buses got bogged down in mud, and everyone had to walk over snow, mud, rocks and debris for almost a half mile to get to the site. There was nothing to see, just an overgrown clearing on the Mogollon Rim.

Walton showed everyone where everything happened, where the truck was and approximately where he was knocked to the ground.

A book about the event called “Fire in the Sky was published in 1979. A movie with the same name came out in 1995, though Walton said it isn’t accurate in many of the details.

The other members of the crew are Allen Dalis, Dwayne Smith and Kenneth Peterson. All the men are now in their mid- to late-60s.

Walton spends his time these days writing, going to conferences and events and sharing his story.

The UFO community of scientists, researchers and media are all still interested in his story and continue to investigate the UFO phenomenon.

I just wanted to share this with you. I really got a lot out of it getting a chance to see Einsteins views about aliens. Even in June of 1947, Einsteins thinking about why aliens are here.

An unidentified flying object, or UFO, in its most general definition, is any apparent anomaly in the sky that is not identifiable as a known object or phenomenon. Although its definition encompasses any unexplained aerial phenomena, in popular culture, the term has generally become synonymous with an extra-terrestrial spacecraft.

UFO sightings have been reported throughout recorded history and in various parts of the world, raising questions about life on other planets and whether extra-terrestrials have visited Earth. They have become a major subject of interest, and the inspiration behind numerous films and books, however, sadly they are also the focus of intense ridicule. For decades there has been a move, deliberate or not, to diminish the importance of UFOs and create a public belief that UFOs are a hoax. However, unexplained aerial observations have been reported throughout history, from prehistoric times until the present day.

Some ancient depictions of flying objects in the sky were undoubtedly astronomical in nature: comets, bright meteors, planets that can be seen with the naked eye, or atmospheric optical phenomena such as lenticular clouds. An example is Halley's Comet, which was recorded first by Chinese astronomers in 240 BC and possibly as early as 467 BC. Such sightings throughout history often were treated as supernatural portents, angels, or other religious omens.

However, we cannot just assume that what our ancient ancestors saw and recorded on cave walls or in ancient texts were astronomical or environmental phenomena. Like today’s sightings, there appears to be a small percentage of sightings that are simply ‘unexplained’, and many of the records existing from our ancient past certainly raise intrigue, like the prehistoric cave painting to the left, which bears a similarity to images painted centuries later in the 16th century Summer’s Triumph Tapestry, and which also ties in closely with modern day UFO accounts. Oppenheim and Einstein - Ancient UFO There are also the Aboriginal cave paintings of the ‘Wandjina’ spirits, which appear to represent alien visitors.

Proponents of the ‘ancient astronaut’ perspective point to numerous myths and legends telling of ‘sky gods’ descending from the sky, and historical texts dating back 4,000 years that appear to describe flying crafts. In the Vedic literature of India, such as the Rg Veda, the Mahabharata, and the Ramayana, there are many descriptions of flying machines called Vimanas which were used in warfare in ancient times. The Vimanas were said to be able to fly in the earth's atmosphere as well as into outer space, distant planets and be submerged underwater.

In the pyramids of Egypt, archaeologists have found hieroglyphs that resemble the UFOs that are described in sightings up to the present day. Centuries later, we have the pre-Columbian gold artefacts found in Central America, which appear to be perfect models of flying crafts. Later, in the medieval period, there was an abundance of art produced which appear to depict UFOs in the sky.

Oppenheim and Einstein - Ancient UFO. The 14th century painting called 'The Crucifixion', which is located above the altar at the Visoki Decani Monestary in Kosovo, appears to depict a man in some kind of craft looking back over his shoulder.

As the ‘debunkers’ correctly point out, none of these ancient depictions alone can be taken as conclusive evidence of the existence of extra-terrestrial life. But they do, at the very least, raise the possibility that extra-terrestrials have indeed visited Earth, and that just as people today regularly report sightings of unidentified objects in the sky, so to might our ancient ancestors have encountered objects that they could neither identify nor explain.

Considering the above, it therefore seems sensible that UFOs should be the subject of scholarly debate and scientific investigation. Instead, what we see today is an internet full of fake images, hoax videos, sensational Hollywood movies, and misinformation that makes it virtually impossible for a legitimate researcher to pull out facts from the very large haystack of rubbish.

It also appears that our governments are not exactly forthcoming when it comes to offering information about their own research on the matter. We only need to look at the CIA’s announcement in August 2013 that Area 51 does exist, despite decades of denying it and brandishing anyone who dared to suggest it as a mere conspiracy theorist.

This brings us to an unclassified Top Secret document written by Robert Oppenheimer, an American theoretical physicist, and Albert Einstein, a German theoretical physicist, who wrote a joint report on the issue of “Relationship with Inhabitants of Celestial Bodies”. The six-page document is the first document to use the phrase ‘Extra-terrestrial Biological Entities’ (EBEs). It says the presence of unidentified spacecraft is accepted as de facto by the military - and this is dated June 1947.

The document deals with issues such as: where extra-terrestrials may come from, what the law say about it, what we should do in the event of colonisation and/or integration of peoples, and why they are here. The document suggests that in the event that EBE's desire to settle here on earth there will be "profound change in traditional concepts" of law and the possible need for a new "Law Among Planetary Peoples."

This document is important for two reasons. The first reason is that it addresses the possibility of life on other planets in a very logical and coherent way and explores what such a realisation would mean. It also raises the question as to why if respected scientists such as Oppenheimer and Einstein are able to approach the subject in an academic way, are we unable to engage in such sensible discussion today? The analysis presented by Oppenheimer and Einstein indicates that ‘disclosure’ of extra-terrestrial existence could cause irreversible damage to society, raising the possibility that our governments today may already know of extra-terrestrial existence but have considered the same issues raised by Oppenheimer and Einstein and ruled against disclosure. If the population is told that intelligent extra-terrestrial beings not only exist but have been visiting our planets for thousands of years, being confronting with such evidence could cause upheaval in the domains of religion, society, law, and finance which, if not addressed properly, could bring chaos to the planet.

There are many questions to be answered. The document suggests that EBEs could be more intelligent and technologically advanced than us, and asks if this is the case, why would they come to Earth? Would it be to conquer and inhabit Earth, to peacefully cooperate with humans, or to study us in the same way that we study any new species that we encounter?

Oppenheim and Einstein Letter The document considers, if their civilisation is more advanced than ours, how could a co-occupation of Earth be feasible?

Oppenheim and Einstein Letter Oppenheim and Einstein Letter Imagine the situation in which advanced technology is given to our civilisation – powerful defence systems, unlimited energy, cloaking devices, space travel to other solar systems, instant transportation devices, and so on. Now considering the current state of our civilisation and the people that govern it, what would such a release of technology mean? One word: Chaos.

The second reason that this document is important is because it addresses the presence of alien UFOs on our planet as a fact known to the military, and relates it to our invention of nuclear bombs – the single weapon that could eliminate life on Earth for many thousands of years.

It is not hard to understand that if UFOs are kept hidden from the public, it is for multiple reasons, which are logically addressed in this document. It is for these reasons, that we may never see a disclosure of extra-terrestrial existence in our lifetime. In the meantime, it seems that the most sensible approach is to keep an open-mind. It is usually the case that a debate rages between two opposite extremes – one side wants to believe wholeheartedly that the cave art and mythological accounts are all descriptions of alien encounters, while the other side is so prepared to disbelieve that anything exists beyond the scope of their reason that they will ignore even the most blatant rendition. If scientists can overcome the ridicule and disparaging remarks that come with exploring the subject matter, perhaps one day we will find irrefutable evidence that UFOs and extra-terrestrials do exist.
