Description:
The Walton Experience.

Seven no-nonsense men. They had just finished a day's work cutting trees in Arizona's Apache Sitgreaves National Forest. As the old pickup maneuvered the dark mountain road, they all saw the brilliant glow suspended in the trees.

Travis Walton got out to investigate. But when the other six went to look for him … he was gone.

Now Travis Walton reveals what happened during the 5 harrowing days of his disappearance.
