The story of Travis Walton, perhaps the most famous alleged alien abductee of all time (as well as one of my very favorites), has been popularized in books and film for a number of years. Though I have always felt that, if indeed extraterrestrial contact is plausible, Walton’s case may be one of the most likely instances of such, is it possible that there could be strange phenomena that occurred the night of his disappearance in 1975 involving something other than UFOs and aliens? I began to wonder about this, not in an effort to debunk any of Walton’s claims, but merely to try and draw parallels between two quite different kinds of phenomena. Below is a link to my recent guest post for the new UFO Magazine blog, where I explore this and other possibilities:
This article incorporates elements of research my friend Joshua P. Warren has spent over a decade compiling with regard to the behavior/formation of plasmas (like ball lightning) and how they behave in nature. Though I’ve always believed that something (quite possibly extraterrestrial) did indeed occur that changed Walton’s life in the 1970s, one must ask what new theories regarding the way electricity effects the human body might tell us about other instances involving alien contact and abduction?
