1
00:00:07,130 --> 00:00:05,690
Arizona yes sir uh were you aware of the

2
00:00:10,490 --> 00:00:07,140
was there any information over the

3
00:00:12,110 --> 00:00:10,500
television or the news media the papers

4
00:00:14,870 --> 00:00:12,120
or anything of this uh

5
00:00:18,170 --> 00:00:14,880
uh thing they started up here Taylor

6
00:00:19,490 --> 00:00:18,180
Arizona well it's up on the ramp what

7
00:00:21,050 --> 00:00:19,500
they call the rim cut through which is

8
00:00:23,150 --> 00:00:21,060
Hebrew I'll give it to you in court I

9
00:00:24,769 --> 00:00:23,160
thought you should know about it right

10
00:00:27,109 --> 00:00:24,779
now

11
00:00:29,230 --> 00:00:27,119
there were seven men up there about

12
00:00:32,030 --> 00:00:29,240
three days ago they were all coming back

13
00:00:33,650 --> 00:00:32,040
just after Dark

14
00:00:35,090 --> 00:00:33,660
they were cutting wood and they were

15
00:00:37,310 --> 00:00:35,100
coming in

16
00:00:40,069 --> 00:00:37,320
they saw this bright

17
00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:40,079
bright light this object that looked to

18
00:00:43,910 --> 00:00:41,760
all feminism at the time there were

19
00:00:45,290 --> 00:00:43,920
seven like a saucer or some unidentified

20
00:00:47,930 --> 00:00:45,300
Archie

21
00:00:50,029 --> 00:00:47,940
well Ralph Anderson's a very good friend

22
00:00:52,130 --> 00:00:50,039
of mine and his brother Travis is the

23
00:00:53,990 --> 00:00:52,140
young man about 22.

24
00:00:55,369 --> 00:00:54,000
and he's always made the statement

25
00:00:56,810 --> 00:00:55,379
around the country to everyone that

26
00:00:58,729 --> 00:00:56,820
knows him that he'd like to have some

27
00:01:00,830 --> 00:00:58,739
way of making communication with them

28
00:01:02,510 --> 00:01:00,840
yes and they were talking about this

29
00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:02,520
kind of a thing ironically at the time

30
00:01:06,770 --> 00:01:05,040
when they saw this light about 20 foot

31
00:01:09,770 --> 00:01:06,780
hovered from the ground and

32
00:01:11,810 --> 00:01:09,780
before they actually stopped their truck

33
00:01:13,330 --> 00:01:11,820
Travis jumped out of the car and ran up

34
00:01:16,730 --> 00:01:13,340
underneath this thing if you can imagine

35
00:01:19,010 --> 00:01:16,740
uh how many yards away I don't know that

36
00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:19,020
quote but he ran up underneath it with

37
00:01:22,490 --> 00:01:20,880
his hands in the air as a helpless or

38
00:01:24,530 --> 00:01:22,500
friendly gesture

39
00:01:26,450 --> 00:01:24,540
it's time he done this

40
00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:26,460
the other six men and these are pretty

41
00:01:30,410 --> 00:01:28,560
pretty uh pretty good local boys they're

42
00:01:34,789 --> 00:01:30,420
not just you know they were sober too

43
00:01:36,770 --> 00:01:34,799
yes and uh they all witnessed a blue

44
00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:36,780
for a bluish light

45
00:01:40,730 --> 00:01:38,880
that projected from the bottom of this

46
00:01:43,789 --> 00:01:40,740
craft whatever it was

47
00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:43,799
and at that time it hit him and of

48
00:01:46,850 --> 00:01:45,600
course he crumpled

49
00:01:49,010 --> 00:01:46,860
fell

50
00:01:50,690 --> 00:01:49,020
now the rest of them were just you know

51
00:01:52,490 --> 00:01:50,700
like anyone else would be I guess they

52
00:01:54,289 --> 00:01:52,500
were terrified and so they started their

53
00:01:56,990 --> 00:01:54,299
vehicle up and drove the other way on

54
00:01:59,450 --> 00:01:57,000
that Rim Road for several miles until

55
00:02:01,490 --> 00:01:59,460
they regained their wits

56
00:02:04,130 --> 00:02:01,500
they came back a few minutes later and

57
00:02:05,810 --> 00:02:04,140
there was no sign of anything except as

58
00:02:07,609 --> 00:02:05,820
they were departing as they were

59
00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:07,619
entering the area where this happened

60
00:02:13,970 --> 00:02:10,800
they did see this thing dysogic uh

61
00:02:17,290 --> 00:02:13,980
leaving moving across the sky

62
00:02:21,229 --> 00:02:17,300
now this has been publicized through the

63
00:02:22,729 --> 00:02:21,239
KPHO uh media over television I suppose

64
00:02:23,869 --> 00:02:22,739
the radio and all the other channels

65
00:02:27,410 --> 00:02:23,879
we've got this

66
00:02:31,070 --> 00:02:27,420
uh Sheriff Gillespie and uh Holbrook

67
00:02:33,170 --> 00:02:31,080
and many many other search deputies

68
00:02:35,089 --> 00:02:33,180
and the man is gone

69
00:02:38,750 --> 00:02:35,099
they've checked it out there's radiation

70
00:02:40,910 --> 00:02:38,760
there in this spot they don't know uh

71
00:02:42,890 --> 00:02:40,920
Ralph told me that it buried

72
00:02:45,770 --> 00:02:42,900
there was some fairly heavy and then it

73
00:02:48,650 --> 00:02:45,780
was light also

74
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:48,660
but what would raise me

75
00:02:53,750 --> 00:02:51,300
well that's hard to say but this is

76
00:02:54,949 --> 00:02:53,760
really true now I can uh like I said if

77
00:02:57,650 --> 00:02:54,959
you wanted to confirm this you could

78
00:03:00,170 --> 00:02:57,660
call what is the mother's lesbian

79
00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:00,180
call Ralph Patterson this is uh the

80
00:03:04,670 --> 00:03:03,000
Man's brother who uh vanished Ralph

81
00:03:06,650 --> 00:03:04,680
Anderson's a good friend of mine and I

82
00:03:08,930 --> 00:03:06,660
suggest that they do this today

83
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:08,940
but he said that they had some men in

84
00:03:13,850 --> 00:03:12,000
the Tucson uh Flagstaff and Tucson area

85
00:03:15,530 --> 00:03:13,860
that were coming up but I read this

86
00:03:18,290 --> 00:03:15,540
article in your book here and I felt

87
00:03:20,750 --> 00:03:18,300
that it probably is by most the foremost

88
00:03:23,210 --> 00:03:20,760
experience relating to this type of

89
00:03:25,610 --> 00:03:23,220
research on this thing Ralph called me

90
00:03:27,770 --> 00:03:25,620
back about 2 30 today

91
00:03:30,830 --> 00:03:27,780
he was going out there there are going

92
00:03:32,570 --> 00:03:30,840
out again here in search you know air

93
00:03:34,790 --> 00:03:32,580
and ground search they're going to make

94
00:03:36,170 --> 00:03:34,800
a last-ditch effort attempt on it for 48

95
00:03:38,149 --> 00:03:36,180
continual hours

96
00:03:40,250 --> 00:03:38,159
Ralph said at the time he called he was

97
00:03:42,830 --> 00:03:40,260
shortly planning on leaving and would

98
00:03:46,250 --> 00:03:42,840
not be back until whatever time

99
00:03:49,070 --> 00:03:46,260
this 48 Hours could develop it

100
00:03:50,509 --> 00:03:49,080
but uh well I was kind of concerned he

101
00:03:51,350 --> 00:03:50,519
said is there a possibility that they

102
00:03:54,110 --> 00:03:51,360
could have took that matter

103
00:03:56,509 --> 00:03:54,120
disintegrated him and uh

104
00:03:58,490 --> 00:03:56,519
who knows

105
00:04:01,250 --> 00:03:58,500
now what was that man's name again who's

106
00:04:03,710 --> 00:04:01,260
uh Missing uh here's the man's name

107
00:04:07,970 --> 00:04:03,720
missing is Travis

108
00:04:12,589 --> 00:04:10,550
this has been well publicized throughout

109
00:04:14,690 --> 00:04:12,599
the entire State of Arizona

110
00:04:16,550 --> 00:04:14,700
it's been on every channel we catch it

111
00:04:17,810 --> 00:04:16,560
on the six o'clock news it's been on the

112
00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:17,820
10 o'clock news

113
00:04:21,650 --> 00:04:20,160
and it happened Thursday night has this

114
00:04:23,870 --> 00:04:21,660
been published in any of the papers you

115
00:04:26,450 --> 00:04:23,880
know if I don't know about the papers my

116
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:26,460
friend they'll certainly been in the I

117
00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:28,320
think my wife just said it is has been

118
00:04:32,030 --> 00:04:30,780
in the paper Okay in fact it's been a

119
00:04:34,189 --> 00:04:32,040
headliner

120
00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:34,199
the first day it happened

121
00:04:38,930 --> 00:04:36,720
that night when the boys came back

122
00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:38,940
without Travis Walton

123
00:04:42,350 --> 00:04:41,040
Ralph called me about three o'clock in

124
00:04:44,270 --> 00:04:42,360
the morning and told me what had

125
00:04:46,370 --> 00:04:44,280
happened and he was leaving upon that

126
00:04:47,570 --> 00:04:46,380
after the phone call to me then they

127
00:04:50,330 --> 00:04:47,580
were going out there the next day they

128
00:04:52,610 --> 00:04:50,340
had it search party of 55 men they

129
00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:52,620
turned up nothing except the radiolence

130
00:05:01,909 --> 00:04:59,570
yes

131
00:05:03,469 --> 00:05:01,919
if you want to call him or call me but

132
00:05:04,909 --> 00:05:03,479
I'll give you my name and number but I

133
00:05:07,129 --> 00:05:04,919
don't think it'd be important for my

134
00:05:08,749 --> 00:05:07,139
name but I'm just concerned about the

135
00:05:10,070 --> 00:05:08,759
thing and if you're a sharpshooter on a

136
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:10,080
thing I'd like to see somebody do

137
00:05:14,170 --> 00:05:11,610
something Buddy

138
00:05:16,730 --> 00:05:14,180
[Music]

139
00:05:18,050 --> 00:05:16,740
oh it's about 35 miles from right here

140
00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:18,060
at our home where I'm calling you from

141
00:05:22,249 --> 00:05:20,400
okay

142
00:05:24,469 --> 00:05:22,259
and what was the date of this incident

143
00:05:26,510 --> 00:05:24,479
again what was the date of the incident

144
00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:26,520
well it was Thursday Thursday okay

145
00:05:30,650 --> 00:05:29,520
Thursday night uh I'd say shortly after

146
00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:30,660
dark

147
00:05:35,150 --> 00:05:32,639
that's when I said seven men at that

148
00:05:40,570 --> 00:05:35,160
time were leaving in their truck

149
00:05:46,490 --> 00:05:43,070
or so off the ground

150
00:05:47,870 --> 00:05:46,500
and uh at that time travel Travis had

151
00:05:49,610 --> 00:05:47,880
been talking about this and the whole

152
00:05:51,290 --> 00:05:49,620
country knows this he's always wanted to

153
00:05:53,450 --> 00:05:51,300
communicate with these people and I

154
00:05:55,189 --> 00:05:53,460
believe this or not and before they ever

155
00:05:56,629 --> 00:05:55,199
got the truck stop he ran out there

156
00:05:58,790 --> 00:05:56,639
underneath that thing with his hands

157
00:06:01,850 --> 00:05:58,800
stretched up near as uh guess your

158
00:06:03,650 --> 00:06:01,860
friendliness or help or something and

159
00:06:06,890 --> 00:06:03,660
then this uh

160
00:06:09,110 --> 00:06:06,900
bluish-like ray of light

161
00:06:10,270 --> 00:06:09,120
projected from the bottom of that crop

162
00:06:19,189 --> 00:06:10,280
and

163
00:06:21,650 --> 00:06:19,199
they left for a few minutes they said

164
00:06:23,570 --> 00:06:21,660
they didn't know exactly how long

165
00:06:24,830 --> 00:06:23,580
they came back and there was no side of

166
00:06:26,450 --> 00:06:24,840
anything other than the fact that the

167
00:06:28,010 --> 00:06:26,460
village was fighting again they saw this

168
00:06:29,930 --> 00:06:28,020
leaving

169
00:06:32,270 --> 00:06:29,940
we sure appreciate your calling I

170
00:06:33,110 --> 00:06:32,280
mentioned one thing all of these other

171
00:06:35,090 --> 00:06:33,120
men

172
00:06:37,730 --> 00:06:35,100
included that we're at this sighting

173
00:06:39,110 --> 00:06:37,740
witnessing this have all agreed to and

174
00:06:41,510 --> 00:06:39,120
first of the week they're all going to

175
00:06:43,969 --> 00:06:41,520
take a lie detector test

176
00:06:46,370 --> 00:06:43,979
uh probably in Holbrook and Marlon

177
00:06:49,730 --> 00:06:46,380
Gillespie's at the courthouse there to

178
00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:49,740
verify and substantiate this

179
00:06:55,790 --> 00:06:53,280
and that would be uh verified by Ralph

180
00:06:57,529 --> 00:06:55,800
Anderson Ralph Anderson is Travis's
