You're listening to a Tenderfoot TV podcast. Hey y', all, it's Maggie. I hope you're enjoying up and Vanish weekly. Here's a sneak peek of next week's case. It's the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 5, 1975, in the Apache Sit Greaves National Forest, located in Snowflake Lake, Arizona. Mike Rogers, a woodcutter, and five of his crew members are frantically driving down a dark forest road. Their truck hugs the road as their speed steadily increases. The men are in complete shock, their hearts pounding. An unsettling feeling is quickly sinking in. They had just witnessed something impossible. The evidence revolves around an incident that took place in the Sick Graves National Forest. It was in this loc that a young woodcutter named Travis Walton was abducted by a UFO. One of their crew, 22 year old Travis Walton, was gone, vanished without a trace after an alleged encounter with a mysterious otherworldly craft. Over the next five days, search teams combed the rugged terrain looking for any sign of Walton. But with no evidence to support their outlandish claims and no lead on where he may have gone, the team of loggers would soon become suspects in the murder of their crewmate. But eyewitness accounts, lie detector tests, and years of public scrutiny have kept the case in the public eye. Even now, nearly 50 years later, skeptics and believers alike clash on the believability of the men's claims. Whether it was an extraordinary event or. Or some grand hoax, Travis Walton's disappearance has become a permanent part of the UAP lore. And it raises one haunting question. What really happened that strange November night in the Arizona wilderness?
