Coming up on the 50th anniversary of his November 5, 1975 encounter, Travis Walton joins host Martin Willis to reflect on five decades of scrutiny, support, and unanswered questions—and to preview the Skyfire Summit in Sedona, Arizona, October 17–20, 2025. We discuss the original events in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, the aftermath for the logging crew, polygraph tests and media storms, evolving interpretations over the years, and what Travis hopes researchers, experiencers, and the public will take away from this milestone gathering. We also cover Skyfire Summit programming, speakers, and how attendees can participate.
Topics:
• 1975 timeline & what holds up after 50 years
• Crew testimony, polygraphs, and persistent myths
• What to expect at Skyfire Summit (Sedona, Oct 17–20, 2025)
• Advice to experiencers & the next generation of researchers
