On November 5, 1975, near Snowflake, Arizona, logger Travis Walton (D. B. Sweeney) disappears

mysteriously during an encounter with a flying saucer. Authorities treat with skepticism the outrageous

story related by the only witnesses to the alleged event, including Walton's co-workers and his best friend

and future brother-in-law, Mike Rogers (Robert Patrick). They are suspected of foul play despite no

apparent motive or knowledge as to Walton's whereabouts.
A state lawman finds a tabloid newspaper in the crew's pickup truck and quickly concludes that tensions

had arisen between Walton and surly co-worker Allan Dallis (Craig Sheffer), leading the lawman to

conclude that a murder cover-up is under way. However, all of the suspects pass lie-detector tests and the

case becomes stalled. Five days later, and just as mysteriously as he disappeared, Walton reappears,

claiming to have been abducted by extraterrestrials and taken aboard a UFO. A flashback shows Walton

being experimented upon against his will.
The film culminates with a denouement between Walton and Rogers, with the UFO mystery essentially

unresolved
