A man who disappeared without a trace for five days in the mountains Arizona, still insists that he was captured and experimented on by aliens with big eyes and no hair.

Travis Walton, who went missing in 1975, says he feels vindicated because after five decades, people are finally starting to believe his story about the abduction.

Working as a logger, Travis and his logging team claimed to have seen a huge UFO, which they initially mistook for a forest fire.

For five days, members of Travis' team were initially suspected of killing him, until he strangely reappeared, claiming that he had been taken to a spaceship by alien beings.

Travis has passed numerous lie detector tests and has written a book exposing all the theories put forward in an attempt to fight skeptics.

In an interview with The Sun , he said:

"When I go out in public now, instead of "this crazy guy" they say to me, "Hey, can I take a picture with you?"

He added that police officers talk to him, often saying that they saw something while on patrol, and that some NASA employees are looking for him because there is a general shift in views.

On November 5, 1975, Travis says that he and his team saw a fire in the sky in front of them as they were leaving work, and then realized that it was a clearly outlined metal disk when they got closer.

They pulled up and saw what they thought was a spaceship, and Travis got out of the car and walked towards it.

Travis ducked for cover behind a log when the spaceship started making loud noises.

He was then knocked down by a blue light similar to a laser beam, and then thrown into the air with such force that his crew members told the police that they believed he had stepped on a land mine.

When Travis regained consciousness, he says that he found himself on a spaceship surrounded by small creatures that he believes are aliens.

Speaking at the festival dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the infamous UFO crash in Roswell, he said:

"They were small, hairless and with very large eyes. It was very blurry and I had some double vision, but I could see the outlines of these shapes around me. I thought they were doctors, but when my vision cleared and I saw that they weren't doctors, I just fainted."

He said that while retreating, he came across a shelf with tools, which he quickly grabbed and began to beat with them.

After escaping, Travis woke up on a road about 15 miles from where he disappeared, near the nearest town of Snowflake, Arizona.

Despite the fact that it sounds implausible, Travis and the team members passed 12 lie detectors to prove their story.

Travis, who had no idea he had been gone for five days, managed to walk to the city, where everyone who saw him described him as "devastated" and "shell-shocked."

He then faced a struggle with locals and authorities to believe his story, and even underwent a series of psychiatric tests to prove he was mentally stable.

"People were desperately trying to explain it, 'Oh, he was hallucinating from drugs,'" he said. "If this is a narcotic hallucination, then how can seven people have the same hallucination?"

Travis said that although he has come to terms with what happened to him, he still harbors concerns about what abducted him.

Original news

A man who disappeared without a trace for five days in the mountains of Arizona, still insists he was snatched and experimented on by extraterrestrials with large eyes and no hair.

Travis Walton, who went missing in 1975, says he feels vindicated as after five decades people are finally starting to believe his abduction story.

Working as a lumberjack, Travis, and his crew of loggers, claimed to have seen a huge UFO - which they originally thought was a fire within a forest.

For five days Travis's crew members were originally suspected of murdering him - until he bizarrely reappeared saying he had been taken into a space craft by alien creatures.

Travis has taken numerous lie detector tests and wrote a book debunking all the theories put forward in a a bid to fight the sceptics.

Speaking to The Sun, he said: "When I go out in public now, instead of 'there's that crazy guy' and now it's, 'Hey, can I get a picture with you?'"

He added that police officers speak to him, often saying they've seen things out on patrols, and that some NASA employees have sought him out as there is a general shift in belief.

On November 5, 1975, Travis says he and his crew saw a fire in the sky in front of them as they were leaving work, then realised it was a clearly defined metallic disc as they got closer.

They pulled up and saw what they believe to be a spaceship and Travis got out of the car and walked towards it.

Travis dived for cover behind a log when the spaceship began to make loud noises.

He was then knocked down by a blue light, similar to a laser beam, before being thrown into the air with such force that his crew members told cops they thought he had stepped on a landmine.

When Travis came round he says he found himself on a spaceship surrounded by small creatures he believes were aliens.

Speaking at a festival to mark the 75th anniversary of the infamous Roswell UFO crash, he said: "They were small and stature, hairless, and very large eyes,"

“It was very blurry and I had some double vision but I could see the outline of these forms around me.

"I thought they were doctors but when my vision got clearer and I could see these were not doctors - I just flipped out.".

He said as he backed away he bumped up against a shelf with tools which he quickly grabbed and started flailing at them.

After escaping Travis found himself waking up on the road about 15 miles from where he disappeared just outside the nearest town of Snowflake, Arizona.

Despite sounding far fetched Travis and the crew members have taken 12 lie detectors to prove their story.

Travis, who had no idea he had been gone for five days, managed to walk into town where everyone who saw him described him as looking 'devastated' and 'shell shocked'.

He then faced a battle with locals and authorities to believe his story, even undergoing a battery of psychiatric testing to prove he was mentally stable.

"People were desperate to explain it away, 'Oh he was hallucinating on drugs'," he said.

"If it's a drug hallucination, how do seven people have the same hallucination?"

Travis said while he has accepted what happened to him he still harbours fears for what abducted him.
