Travis Walton

Five days gone from an Arizona logging site. Six witnesses passed polygraphs. The debate never landed.

November 5, 1975, Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest: seven loggers watched a disc, one approached, a beam threw him, six fled. For five days — during a manhunt investigating them for murder — the crew's story held. Walton reappeared confused on a highway. All six witnesses passed polygraphs (one inconclusive); Walton failed one arranged by tabloid money and passed later ones. The case matters because of the corroboration structure: six independent witnesses with a homicide charge as the price of lying. Connects to the abduction file and to missing time.
