On February 4, 1993, a polygraph examination was administered to Mr. Travis Walton. The purpose of this examination was to determine whether or not Mr. Walton was being truthful in his statement about seeing a UFO and being abducted by the UFO in addition to other facts surrounding the abduction.
During the pretest interview, Mr. Walton said he had worked for Mike Rogers intermittently for about six years on a seasonal basis. He never socialized with any of the crew.
On November 5, 1975, they had worked a little later than usual trying to meet the contract commitment. By the time they were driving back to town, the sun had gone down but there was some light, like twilight.
As they were driving, he could see a glimmer of light in the trees ahead. At first he thought it may be a downed airplane. The light was very unusual. It was like nothing they had seen before. As they neared a clearing he saw the object he called a UFO.
As the truck came to a stop, Mr. Walton got out. Believing it may take off, he walked towards the UFO but slowed his pace before reaching it. He described it as being round and hovering about 20 feet above the ground. He didn't go underneath it but stood there looking up at it. He said the UFO started to wobble slightly and make a noise. Mr. Walton said the noise was like a low rumble that developed into a higher pitch that seemed to increase in frequency. At this point he became afraid and decided to go back to the truck. He recalls being hit with an electrifying type of shock that stunned him, leaving him unconscious.
He recalls he slowly regained consciousness and found himself in a small room that was damp or humid. He had pain throughout his body but mostly in his chest and head. He then saw three creatures he described as being about four feet tall with large, dark eyes. He was lying on some type of table. As these creatures approached him he got off the table. There was some type of shelf near the wall where he found a straight pipelike object lying on it. He describes it as being round like a piece of a pipe but lightweight. He cannot recall if it was solid or hollow. He picked it up and used it to keep the creatures at bay. The creatures left the room by an open doorway, turning right.
Mr. Walton walked to that doorway, looked down a hall and he went left. He walked into another room, trying to find an exit. He didn't know if he was in a spaceship or a building. A humanlike creature came into the room, took him by the arm, leading him to another very large room where several more humanlike creatures were. By this time most of the pain was gone. He was forced down on a table and had a mask, similar to an oxygen mask, put on his face. He doesn't remember anything else until he awoke next to the road, just outside Heber. As he regained consciousness, he looked up, seeing the UFO or one similar to the original one, hovering overhead. As he looked up at it, the UFO sped off into the sky.
Mr. Walton said his story is true. He said accusations made about him are lies. He had not been on any drugs of any kind. He was not hiding out somewhere on the Gibson ranch. He urinated in a jar and the sample was given to Dr. Kandell later that same day. Mr. Walton denies he conspired with Mr. Rogers to perpetrate a hoax to help him get out of the Turkey Springs contract with the Forestry Service.
Two series of questions were asked to cover all the areas we believe were important.
The relevant questions asked and the answers given are as follows:
Series #1:
Question #R1:
On November 5, 1975, in the forest area called Turkey Springs, did you see a large glowing object hovering in the air?
Answer: YES
Question #R2:
While you were standing near that UFOlike object, did you believe you were struck by an energy source emitted from that large object?
Answer: YES
Question #R3:
After regaining consciousness in a small, humid room, did you see nonhuman creatures with large dark eyes?
Answer: YES
Question #R4:
Did you conspire with your brother Duane or anyone else or act alone to stage a hoax about your UFO abduction?
Answer: NO
Series #2:
Question #R1:
Between November 1 and 11, 1975, did you use any drugs, either legal or illegal?
Answer: NO
Question #R2:
Between November 5 and 10, 1975, were you hiding anywhere on the Gibson ranch?
Answer: NO
Question #R3:
Was the urine sample given to Dr. Kandell on November 11, 1975, your first voided specimen following your UFO experience?
Answer: YES
Question #R4:
Was this UFO incident a conspiracy to help Mike Rogers get out of his Turkey Springs contract?
Answer: NO
Mr. Walton's physiological responses were monitored during the presentation of these questions by means of a Scientific Assessment Technology's Computer, Model CAPS 700. The following responses were recorded on this instrument's strip chart: relative blood pressure; skin conductance; thoracic and abdominal respiration. Data from three presentations of these questions were respiration. Data obtained for each series, and were subject to numerical scoring and computer based analysis.
The numerical score of Series #1 was +34. The numerical score of Series #2 was +26. In the system of numerical scoring developed and validated at the University of Utah, total numerical scoring of +6 or more is considered indications of truthfulness.
The computerbased analysis returned a posterior probability of truthfulness of .964 in the first series, and a .961 in the second series. These indicating that charts like these produced in each series, by Mr. Walton, are produced by truthful examinees 96% of the time.
Based on the numerical score of the polygraph charts and the computer based analysis, it is the opinion of this examiner that Mr. Walton was being truthful when he answered these relevant questions.
These examinations clear the air with a thoroughness, an utter finality, which can't be refuted. Cy Gilson used a widely practiced, extremely accurate, stateoftheart method developed and perfected at the University of Utah. This involves a computerized monitoring and analysis of the tracings along with a pointscoring system of the charts applied by the examiner.
In summary: The computer put all three of the witnesses (that took the test) near the top of the range designated as conclusively truthful (almost no one ever achieves the theoretical maximum of 1.00), with Travis at .964 and .961, Mike at .990, and Allen at .993. On the numerical score Travis was first with +34 and +26 points, Mike had +31 points and Allen had +22 points.
Therefore, the probability of this being a hoax or simple misidentification of some kind is tremendously low. Considering these overwhelming odds, what other explanation is there?
