This film recreates the strange events which happened on November 5, 1975 in the small town Snowflake, Arizona. Travis Walton works as a logger under a government contract in the White Mountains. When he and his colleagues drive home after work, they encounter a flying saucer. Curious to learn more, Travis gets out of the truck and is struck by a beam of light from the object. For the next five days, Travis disappears without a trace and his colleagues are accused of murder. When he reappears, first he didn't remember that he was gone, but in time, the terrible memories come back.—Peter W. Simeon
