The apparent alien abduction of (then) 22-year-old Travis Walton in the winter of 1975 is perhaps one of the most well-known of such encounters. Not least due to Walton’s story resulting in a book and then the movie - Fire In The Sky. It is also, perhaps ironically, this monetary “compensation” enjoyed by Walton that has led some to cast doubt on the incident, with several investigators claiming the account is nothing but a hoax. In September 2017, Walton would defend himself against such claims. Although, as we will look at shortly, Walton did fail one lie-detector test, he has passed no less than sixteen others. The main witnesses to the incident also passed their lie-detector tests, and furthermore, it is hard to see what...

Does this site still read comments? BC I have a story, with a witness, about an encounter, that is so off the charts? As to NOT be believable.
I was in Eastport NY, my non-believer ex-boyfriend was 40 miles away.
But somehow we were on a ship, I was on a table, I FELT my stomach grow, and a fetus was delivered. By a blonde. NO pain what so ever, I didn’t remember after that, but my ex did. He said they put a breathing and feeding apparatus over the head of my child. Then I woke up, but I saw everything as clear as a bell. That night I couldn’t wait to go see Jimmy, who was in a band, playing at Crawdaddy’s in Amityville, NY. There is where he told ME what HE saw.
A month later I was able to telepathically communicate and maybe hold my child briefly, and say good bye. It was 35 years ago. I still don’t speak much about it, my earthly children know they have a star brother.
Your story really interesting. I will like you to furnish me with more information and or materials. Keep up the good work.
Best regards.
