It’s Not Spectacle, It simply Happens
One of the most candid and believable things about Travis Walton’s case is the way in which he goes about explaining his story. Taking a look back at the interview in which I completed at the iUFOC of 2018, you realize when listening to Travis that he speaks about his experience of being abducted in a very practical way. He also relates scientific facts of what we know today about our known universe and discoveries in science since his experience over 20 years ago. I think this lends to his credibility because it’s not as if he’s preaching or trying to convert people into some kind of UFO religion, in fact he prefers that people don’t subscribe to the “Wooo”(the spectacle) or the stories that almost sound fictional in nature. He likes to think that we are not alone in the universe and his experience was probably one of many in which “someone from way over there” came to have a look at us. In this important case, to have a look at him. Travis never wanted money or fame for this experience and in fact we conducted this interview while never being asked to pay a dime. Over the years I have met so many people in this research field that literally are dying for the attention and if not that, at least a good smack of money to tell their story. I have no doubt that Travis has made a little money off selling his story to Hollywood in the 90’s (Fire in The Sky) and also his personal memoir of the same name which came out afterwards as a book. Money makes the world go round and obviously one needs to sustain their lifestyle with some kind of work, so I don’t fault him for that. Heck, look at the churches around the world. Not faulting them at all, but they’ve collected trillions of dollars in donations from telling the same story over and over again to the masses. I guess what I’m trying to say is there is value in whatever you have to offer this world. I just think Travis Walton’s account seems to be authentic and the skeptics out there who have worked hard at debunking him are definitely on some kind of payroll, pushing their own anti-thesis.
