00:00:01,367 --> 00:00:04,Tonight on "Expedition Files"...

00:00:04,166 --> 00:00:06,in the Arizona wilderness,

00:00:06,066 --> 00:00:10,Travis Walton is taken by forces
beyond our understanding.

00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:12,[distant shouting]
Travis! Travis!

00:00:12,467 --> 00:00:15,[shouting]

00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:17,[Josh]
Now, new evidence suggests

00:00:17,166 --> 00:00:21,the supposed alien abduction
might actually be true.

00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:23,-[thunder crashes]
-At the turn of the century,

00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,aviator
Charles Lindbergh's family

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,is destroyed in the most
horrifying way imaginable.

00:00:28,900 --> 00:00:31,[distant baby crying]

00:00:31,700 --> 00:00:35,[Josh] And a recent theory about
the identity of a suspect is

00:00:35,667 --> 00:00:38,almost too terrible to imagine.

00:00:39,667 --> 00:00:43,And, at this very moment,
American spies and diplomats

00:00:43,166 --> 00:00:46,are under siege from
a mysterious enemy.

00:00:48,066 --> 00:00:51,For the first time ever,
I'll uncover extraordinary

00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,revelations behind
these terrifying attacks.

00:01:00,266 --> 00:01:02,In the corridors of time...

00:01:03,867 --> 00:01:07,are mysteries
that defy explanation.

00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:12,Now, I'm traveling
through history itself,

00:01:14,767 --> 00:01:16,on a search for the truth.

00:01:18,767 --> 00:01:20,New evidence.

00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,Shocking answers.

00:01:24,567 --> 00:01:26,I'm Josh Gates,

00:01:27,367 --> 00:01:28,and these

00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:32,are my "Expedition Files."

00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,I was nine years old when
my neighborhood nemesis,

00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:42,Jimmy Donovan, walked up to me
in the school yard and punched

00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:44,me square in the face --
it hurt.

00:01:44,367 --> 00:01:47,It's not pain I'll forget,
and I won't forget who did it

00:01:47,667 --> 00:01:49,either, Jimmy Donovan.

00:01:49,567 --> 00:01:52,But disturbingly, some
attackers are unknown,

00:01:52,467 --> 00:01:55,hurting us without ever
revealing who or what they are.

00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,Tonight, we study
the files of three people

00:01:58,767 --> 00:02:01,whose brutal attackers
remain unknown.

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,From a terrifying UFO abduction
in the Arizona wilderness,

00:02:05,767 --> 00:02:09,to an unimaginable crime
that shocked the nation,

00:02:09,667 --> 00:02:12,to a shadowy superweapon
first fired at innocent

00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,American diplomats in Cuba.

00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:19,For each of our three stories,
the question remains the same --

00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,who was behind
these shocking attacks?

00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,We begin here, just after dark,
in the White Mountains of

00:02:26,667 --> 00:02:29,Arizona,
in the fall of 1975.

of difference ♪

00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:37,♪♪ between law and justice ♪

00:02:37,667 --> 00:02:41,♪♪ Sometimes

00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,When we get back, remind me
that we need to put some

00:02:44,266 --> 00:02:45,gas in the chainsaw
for the...

00:02:47,367 --> 00:02:50,[Josh] For these seven young
men, it's a night they'll both

00:02:50,467 --> 00:02:53,never forget,
and also struggle to remember.

00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:56,They've been working all day,
chopping down the pine trees

00:02:56,567 --> 00:02:57,that cover these mountains.

00:02:57,767 --> 00:03:01,What they don't know is that
their drive back to town will

00:03:01,066 --> 00:03:03,become a road trip
like no other.

00:03:03,467 --> 00:03:07,One of these men will suddenly
vanish in jaw-dropping

00:03:07,467 --> 00:03:10,circumstances, setting off
one of the most gripping

00:03:10,166 --> 00:03:13,and bizarre missing person
cases in history.

00:03:13,166 --> 00:03:17,Pretty soon, people all across
the country and the world will

00:03:17,066 --> 00:03:20,be asking, "What really
happened to Travis Walton?"

00:03:24,667 --> 00:03:26,Travis, get back!

00:03:26,667 --> 00:03:30,[indistinct shout]

00:03:36,166 --> 00:03:38,[chainsaw buzzing]

00:03:41,166 --> 00:03:45,[Josh] In the summer of 1975,
Travis Walton is a member of

00:03:45,467 --> 00:03:48,a seven-man logging crew hired
to thin out trees

00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:51,in the Apache-Sitgreaves
National Forest.

00:03:51,867 --> 00:03:54,They're a tight-knit,
hardworking group.

00:03:54,900 --> 00:03:58,Then, several months into
the job, on November 5th,

00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,as they head back to town,

00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:03,everything in
their world changes.

00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,[music playing on radio]

00:04:14,367 --> 00:04:17,[indistinct conversation]

00:04:17,166 --> 00:04:20,[Josh] As they drive along
the rocky forest road that

00:04:20,166 --> 00:04:24,they've traveled countless times
before, suddenly, the men are

00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,stunned by a large,
mysterious object

00:04:26,900 --> 00:04:28,floating in the sky.

00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,[man]
What the hell is that?

00:04:35,667 --> 00:04:38,[Josh] While fear grips
the rest of the crew,

00:04:38,767 --> 00:04:41,something inexplicably
draws Travis Walton

00:04:41,567 --> 00:04:42,towards the light.

00:04:42,867 --> 00:04:45,[all clamoring]
Travis...

00:04:45,166 --> 00:04:46,-Come back here!
-Travis!

00:04:46,567 --> 00:04:48,-Travis!
-Travis, come back!

00:04:48,166 --> 00:04:49,Hey, Travis,
come on back here, man!

00:04:49,967 --> 00:04:51,-Travis!
-Travis!

00:04:55,066 --> 00:04:57,[gasps]
[shouts]

00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:04,-Travis!
-Travis!

00:05:04,166 --> 00:05:05,Trav--

00:05:06,867 --> 00:05:08,-[car door slams]
-Drive on.

00:05:08,567 --> 00:05:10,-[car engine starts]
-Drive!

00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,[Josh] Gripped with panic,
his friends flee the scene.

00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,[crickets chirping]

00:05:19,867 --> 00:05:22,Travis!
Travis!

00:05:22,767 --> 00:05:25,[Josh] 15 minutes later,
when the light appears to be

00:05:25,266 --> 00:05:29,gone, they return to the site
to find nothing, no craft,

00:05:29,367 --> 00:05:33,no light, no Travis --
their friend has vanished.

00:05:35,667 --> 00:05:39,So they race to the nearest
phone to call the sheriff,

00:05:39,367 --> 00:05:40,Chuck Ellison.

00:05:42,166 --> 00:05:44,[phone ringing]

00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:47,Our friend's been taken.

00:05:51,300 --> 00:05:54,[Josh] Though he's skeptical,
Sheriff Ellison accompanies

00:05:54,700 --> 00:05:56,the men back to the scene.

00:05:58,600 --> 00:05:59,-Travis!
-Travis!

00:05:59,667 --> 00:06:02,Travis!
Travis, come back!

00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:04,Travis!

00:06:04,166 --> 00:06:05,-Travis!
-Travis!

00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:08,[Josh] But after a search
that drags late into the night,

00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,they're forced
to call off the hunt

00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,as the temperature plummets.

00:06:12,567 --> 00:06:15,If Travis is
out there somewhere,

00:06:15,166 --> 00:06:17,he's in for
a brutally cold night.

00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:23,[helicopter blades whirring]

00:06:23,166 --> 00:06:25,Over the next five days,
the sheriff's office

00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:28,and volunteers frantically
search the area.

00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:31,[dogs barking]

00:06:34,567 --> 00:06:38,In an odd moment that would
become relevant decades later,

00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,the logging foreman and others
recall an investigator

00:06:41,967 --> 00:06:43,using a Geiger counter.

00:06:43,767 --> 00:06:48,When they test the men's hard
hats, the needle jumps way up.

00:06:48,567 --> 00:06:52,But let's file that away for
now, because this small logging

00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,crew is about to have
their feet held to the fire.

00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,Three days
after Travis goes missing,

00:06:59,867 --> 00:07:02,the sheriff's department
administers polygraph tests

00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,for the six loggers.

00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:08,The men deny any involvement
in Travis's disappearance,

00:07:08,367 --> 00:07:12,and they all recount the same
bright light in the sky.

00:07:14,367 --> 00:07:17,They pass with flying colors,
but there's still

00:07:17,467 --> 00:07:21,no explanation for where
Travis Walton could be.

00:07:22,567 --> 00:07:25,[phone ringing]

00:07:25,166 --> 00:07:27,Five days after
Travis's disappearance,

00:07:27,467 --> 00:07:30,his...
