简介：1975年11月5日，美国伐木工特拉维斯·沃尔顿在亚利桑那州国家森林中遭遇不明飞行物并失踪五天后突然现身。此案成为UFO研究史上最具争议的第四类接触事件之一，拥有多名目击证人证实其遭遇。沃尔顿声称被一道蓝绿色光束击中后失去意识，醒来时发现自己身处外星飞船内部。
特拉维斯·沃尔顿（生于1953年2月10日）是一名美国伐木工，据称于1975年11月5日在亚利桑那州阿帕奇-锡特格里夫斯国家森林工作时被UFO绑架。沃尔顿一度下落不明，但在经过五天的搜索后重新出现。
沃尔顿案获得了主流媒体的关注，至今仍是最著名的疑似外星人绑架案例之一。UFO历史学家杰罗姆·克拉克写道：“很少有绑架报告像沃尔顿案那样引发如此多的争议。”此外，这是极少数拥有佐证目击者的外星人绑架案例之一，也是少数几个据称被外星人扣押的时间在整个叙述中只占次要地位的绑架案例。
UFO研究者珍妮·兰德尔和彼得·霍夫写道：“在此之前或之后，从未有过以沃尔顿及其同事所描述的方式开始的绑架故事。此外，沃尔顿案的特殊之处在于受害者连续失踪数日，警方出动搜索队搜寻……这是一个非典型的‘第四类亲密接触’（CE4）……它如此违背常规，以至于让一些调查者感到担忧；而另一些人则坚决为其辩护。”（兰德尔和霍夫，第186页）
林中发现
此案始于1975年11月5日星期三。当时22岁的沃尔顿受雇于迈克·罗杰斯，后者九年来一直与美国林务局签订合同，负责各种工作。罗杰斯和沃尔顿是最好的朋友；沃尔顿曾与罗杰斯的妹妹达娜约会，后来两人结婚。其他伐木工包括肯·彼得森、约翰·古莱特、史蒂夫·皮尔斯、艾伦·达利斯和德韦恩·史密斯。他们都住在亚利桑那州斯诺弗莱克镇。
罗杰斯受雇清理亚利桑那州特基斯普林斯附近一大片区域（超过1200英亩）的灌木丛和下层植被。这是罗杰斯从林务局获得的最有利可图的合同，但工程进度落后。因此，他们加班加点以完成合同，通常从早上6点工作到日落。
11月5日下午6点刚过，罗杰斯和他的团队结束了一天的工作，挤上罗杰斯的卡车准备返回斯诺弗莱克。据团队报告，在返程开始后不久，他们看到山丘后面有一道亮光。他们开车靠近，声称看到一个巨大的银色圆盘悬浮在一片空地上方，发出耀眼的光芒。圆盘高约8英尺（2.4米），直径约20英尺（6.1米）。
罗杰斯停下车，沃尔顿跳下车跑向圆盘。其他人说他们大声喊沃尔顿回来，但他继续向圆盘跑去。卡车里的人报告说，当沃尔顿几乎到达圆盘下方时，圆盘开始发出类似大型涡轮机的噪音。随后圆盘开始左右摇晃，沃尔顿开始小心翼翼地远离该物体。
杰罗姆·克拉克写道，就在沃尔顿离开圆盘后，其他人坚称看到一道蓝绿色光束从圆盘中射出并“击中”沃尔顿。克拉克接着写道，沃尔顿“被抬高一英尺，四肢伸展，僵硬地向后飞出约10英尺（3.0米），始终被光芒笼罩。他的右肩撞到地面，身体瘫软地趴在地上。”（克拉克，第628-629页）
搜索行动
大约晚上7点30分，彼得森从亚利桑那州希伯（靠近斯诺弗莱克）打电话报警。副警长查克·埃里森接听了电话；彼得森最初只报告说一名伐木工失踪。随后埃里森在一个购物中心与团队会面。他们向他讲述了整个故事——所有人都心烦意乱，其中两人泪流满面——尽管埃里森对这个离奇的叙述有些怀疑，但他后来反思说：“如果他们在演戏，那他们演得也太好了。”（克拉克，第629页）
埃里森通知了他的上级——警长马林·吉莱斯皮——吉莱斯皮让埃里森将团队留在希伯，直到他和警官肯·科普兰赶到并对这些人进行询问。不到一小时，吉莱斯皮和科普兰到达，听取了团队的叙述。罗杰斯坚持要立即返回现场寻找沃尔顿，如果可能的话，带上追踪犬。但没有找到警犬，于是警方和部分团队成员返回了现场。团队成员史密斯、皮尔斯和古莱特情绪过于激动，无法在搜索中提供太多帮助，因此他们选择返回斯诺弗莱克，向朋友和家人传达这个坏消息。
在现场，执法人员开始对团队讲述的故事产生怀疑，主要是因为没有任何物证支持这一说法。尽管更多警察和志愿者赶到现场搜索，但他们没有找到沃尔顿的任何踪迹。山区的冬夜可能极其寒冷，而沃尔顿只穿着牛仔裤、牛仔夹克和一件衬衫；警方担心如果沃尔顿迷路，可能会因体温过低而遇难。
罗杰斯和科普兰警长前往通知沃尔顿的母亲玛丽·沃尔顿·凯利特，她住在距离斯诺弗莱克约10英里（16公里）的贝尔克里克的一个小牧场。罗杰斯告诉她发生的事情，她让他重复了一遍叙述。然后她平静地问，除了警察和目击者之外，是否还有其他人听说过这个故事。科普兰认为她克制的反应很奇怪；这一因素加剧了警方的怀疑，认为沃尔顿的失踪另有原因，而非UFO所致。另一方面，克拉克指出，凯利特以通常谨慎著称，并且在经常艰难的情况下独自抚养了六个孩子，这“早已教会她在危机和悲剧面前不要惊慌失措。然而在接下来的日子里，随着事件压垮了她，她会在朋友、熟人和陌生人面前流露出情绪——这一事实在驳斥沃尔顿事件的处理中从未被提及。”（克拉克，第631页）
大约凌晨3点，凯利特打电话给她的第二个孩子杜安·沃尔顿。他离开位于亚利桑那州格伦代尔的家，驱车前往斯诺弗莱克。
到11月6日早上，官员和志愿者已经搜索了沃尔顿失踪地点周围的区域。没有发现他的任何踪迹，警方越来越怀疑UFO故事是为了掩盖事故或凶杀而编造的。周六早上，罗杰斯和杜安·沃尔顿“怒气冲冲地”来到吉莱斯皮警长的办公室，因为他们返回现场时发现那里没有警察。到当天下午，警方动用直升机、骑警和吉普车搜索沃尔顿。（克拉克，第361页）
媒体报道
到周六，沃尔顿失踪的消息已传遍国际。新闻记者、UFO研究者和好奇者开始前往斯诺弗莱克。来访者中包括菲尼克斯UFO调查员弗雷德·西尔瓦努斯，他在11月8日周六采访了罗杰斯和杜安·沃尔顿。两人在反复表达对沃尔顿安危的担忧（并批评他们认为警方搜索不力）的同时，也做出了一些后来被批评者抓住不放、令他们后悔的陈述。
在西尔瓦努斯的录音中，罗杰斯指出，由于沃尔顿失踪及随后的搜索，他将无法完成与林务局的合同，并希望对他失踪朋友的搜索能缓解这一情况。杜安·沃尔顿报告说，他和沃尔顿对UFO非常感兴趣，大约12年前，杜安曾目睹过一个与伐木团队所见相似的UFO。杜安报告说，他和沃尔顿都决定，如果有机会，他们会尽可能靠近任何可能看到的UFO。杜安还暗示沃尔顿不会受到外星人的伤害，因为“他们不伤害人”。（克拉克，第631页）罗杰斯和杜安·沃尔顿无意中用自己的陈述“为对该案的不同解读奠定了基础”。（克拉克，第632页）沃尔顿后来报告说，即使在他所谓的绑架之后，他也从未对UFO有“强烈”的兴趣，但他哥哥杜安在沃尔顿仍失踪时的录音陈述与沃尔顿的说法相矛盾。
在西尔瓦努斯采访后不久，斯诺弗莱克镇警长桑福德·弗莱克宣布整个事件是杜安和特拉维斯策划的恶作剧。他们通过点燃一个气球并“在适当时间释放它”来愚弄伐木团队。弗莱克的妻子不同意，认为她丈夫的故事“和杜安·沃尔顿的故事一样牵强”。（克拉克，第632页）
与此同时，警察多次前往凯利特家；杜安有一次回到那里时，发现她正在客厅接受询问，泪流满面。杜安告诉警察，除非他们有新消息要传达或询问，否则请离开。杜安建议她只在门廊上与警察交谈，这样她可以随时选择进屋结束谈话。当弗莱克警长前来传达消息时，她正是这样做的，克拉克指出，这加剧了怀疑论者的感觉，认为凯利特“在隐瞒什么。或者隐瞒某人”。（克拉克，第632页）
杜安还与“地面飞碟观察”组织的威廉·H·斯波尔丁进行了交谈。斯波尔丁建议，如果沃尔顿回来，GSW可以提供一名医生为他进行保密检查。斯波尔丁还建议，如果沃尔顿回来，他应该保留回来后第一次排尿的样本，以便进行检测。
测谎仪11月10日星期一，罗杰斯剩下的所有船员接受了由亚利桑那州公共安全部雇员赛·吉尔森进行的测谎检查。他询问这些人是否伤害了沃尔顿（或知道谁伤害了沃尔顿），是否知道沃尔顿的尸体埋在哪里，以及他们关于看到UFO的陈述是否属实。所有人都否认伤害沃尔顿（或知道谁伤害了他），否认知道他的尸体所在，并坚称确实看到了UFO。
除了达利斯（他未完成测试，因此结果无效），吉尔森得出结论，所有男性都说了真话，测试结果具有决定性。克拉克引用吉尔森的官方报告：“这些测谎测试证明，这五名男子确实看到了他们认为属于UFO的物体，并且特拉维斯·沃尔顿在那个星期三并未被这些人中的任何一个伤害或谋杀。”吉尔森认为，如果UFO是假的，“这五名男子事先并不知情”。（克拉克，633）
测谎测试后，警长吉莱斯皮宣布他接受了UFO故事，并表示：“毫无疑问他们在说实话。”（克拉克，633）
2009年，沃尔顿参加了游戏节目《真相时刻》。当被问及是否在1975年被UFO绑架时，他回答“是”，而测谎员在录制前判定这一回答具有欺骗性。对于这一结果，沃尔顿回应说，即使在最佳情况下，测谎仪的准确率也只有97%。
“医学”检查杜安想起了斯波尔丁承诺的保密医学检查。在没有通知当局沃尔顿返回的情况下，杜安于星期二上午晚些时候开车将他送往亚利桑那州凤凰城，与莱斯特·斯图尔德医生会面。
沃尔顿一家报告说，他们失望地发现斯图尔德并非斯波尔丁承诺的医学博士，而是一名催眠治疗师。斯波尔丁和斯图尔德后来报告说，沃尔顿一家与他们待了两个多小时，而沃尔顿一家坚称他们在斯图尔德的办公室最多待了45分钟，大部分时间都在试图确定斯图尔德的资质。与斯图尔德相处的确切时间后来成为案件中的一个问题。
沃尔顿的回归成为新闻到星期二下午，沃尔顿回归的消息已泄露给公众。杜安接到斯波尔丁的电话，并告诉斯波尔丁不要再打扰这家人。克拉克写道，这次电话后，“斯波尔丁成了案件中的死敌”。（克拉克，363）
在沃尔顿回归消息后的其他电话中，有一个来自民间UFO研究组织APRO的科拉尔·洛伦岑。她向杜安保证，可以安排两名医学博士——全科医生约瑟夫·索尔特斯和儿科医生霍华德·坎德尔——在杜安家中为沃尔顿进行检查。杜安同意了，检查于星期二下午3:30左右开始。
克拉克写道：“在洛伦岑的电话和医生检查之间，另一方将介入，并极大地复杂化这个故事。”（克拉克，636）洛伦岑接到《国家询问报》一名员工的电话，这是一家以耸人听闻风格著称的美国小报。该员工承诺资助APRO的调查，以换取APRO的“合作和接触沃尔顿一家的机会”。由于《询问报》的财力远超APRO，洛伦岑同意了这一安排。（克拉克，363）
医学检查显示沃尔顿基本健康，但他们确实注意到两个异常特征：
- 沃尔顿右肘褶皱处有一个小红点，与皮下注射痕迹一致，但医生也指出该点不在静脉附近。
- 对沃尔顿尿液的分析显示缺乏酮体。这很不寻常，因为如果沃尔顿确实如他坚称的那样（以及他的体重减轻所暗示的）五天没有或很少进食，他的身体应该开始分解脂肪以维持生存，这应导致尿液中酮体水平非常高。批评者会认为这种不一致是反驳沃尔顿故事的证据。
沃尔顿后来推测，他肘部的痕迹是在伐木工作中留下的；批评者则推测，这显示了沃尔顿（或其他人）向体内注射药物的位置。克拉克认为这种用药可能性极不可能，因为医生没有发现任何迹象，但他也指出，也许“更难解释的是没有瘀伤，而人们可能会预期在沃尔顿声称被光束撞击地面后出现这种情况”。（克拉克，637）
沃尔顿在UFO中沃尔顿在UFO机库中
沃尔顿报告说，在接近工作地点附近的UFO后，他记得的最后一件事是被光束击中。当他醒来时，沃尔顿说他躺在一张倾斜的床上。一束明亮的光照在他上方，空气沉重而潮湿。他感到疼痛，呼吸有些困难，但他的第一个想法是自己在普通医院里。
随着意识恢复，沃尔顿说他意识到自己被三个身影包围，每个都穿着某种橙色连体服。这些身影不是人类。沃尔顿将这种生物描述为典型的所谓“灰人”，出现在一些绑架案例中：“身高不足五英尺，光头，没有头发。他们的头呈圆顶状，非常大。他们看起来像胎儿……他们有大眼睛——巨大的眼睛——几乎全是棕色，几乎没有白色。最可怕的是他们的眼睛……它们只是直勾勾地盯着我。”他们的耳朵、鼻子和嘴巴“似乎非常小，也许只是因为他们的眼睛太大了”。（克拉克，646）
沃尔顿讲述说，他担心自己的安全，站起来，对着这些生物大喊让它们走开。他从附近架子上抓起一个类似玻璃的圆柱体，试图打破尖端做成临时刀具，但发现物体无法打破，于是将其作为武器向生物挥舞。这三个生物离开了房间。
马西森认为叙述的这一部分存在令人不安的不一致之处，指出：“尽管他处于‘虚弱’状态、‘身体疼痛’和‘头骨撕裂般的疼痛’——这些病症没有提出原因——他却能轻松地从手术台上跳起来，抓住一个方便放置的玻璃状棒，摆出空手道‘战斗姿势’，用这种男子气概的侵略性表现吓唬它们，至少足以让它们逃跑。”（马西森，110）
然后沃尔顿通过走廊离开“检查室”，走廊通向一个球形房间，房间中央只有一把高背椅。尽管他担心椅子上可能有人坐着，沃尔顿说他还是走向它。当他走近时，房间开始出现灯光。椅子是空的，所以沃尔顿说他坐了上去。当他坐下时，房间里充满了灯光，类似于投影在圆形天文馆天花板上的星星。
椅子左扶手上装有一个短粗的杠杆，顶部有一个形状奇特的模制手柄，放在某种深棕色材料上。右扶手上有一个发光的青柠绿色屏幕，约五英寸见方，上面有以各种角度相交的黑线。
当沃尔顿推动杠杆时，他报告说星星围绕他缓慢旋转。当他松开杠杆时，星星停留在新位置。他决定不再操作杠杆，因为他不知道它可能做什么。
他离开椅子，星星消失了。沃尔顿认为他在圆形墙壁上看到了一个矩形轮廓——也许是一扇门——于是去寻找它。
就在这时，沃尔顿听到身后有声音。他转过身，以为会看到更多矮小、大眼睛的生物，但惊喜地看到一个高大的人形身影，穿着蓝色连体服，戴着玻璃头盔。当时，沃尔顿说，他没有意识到这个人的眼睛有多奇怪：比正常人大，而且是亮金色。
沃尔顿说他随后问了这个人一些问题，但这个人只是咧嘴笑，示意沃尔顿跟着他。沃尔顿还说，由于这个人的头盔，他可能听不到他说话，所以他跟着这个人穿过走廊，走廊通向一扇门和一段陡峭的坡道，下到一个大房间，沃尔顿描述说类似于飞机机库。沃尔顿说他意识到自己刚刚离开了一个碟形飞行器，类似于他在森林中被蓝光击中前看到的那个，但这个飞行器可能大两倍。
在类似机库的房间里，沃尔顿报告说看到了其他碟形飞行器。这个人带他进入另一个房间，里面有另外三个人类——一个女人和两个男人——与戴头盔的人相似。这些人没有戴头盔，所以沃尔顿说他开始问他们问题。他们以同样呆滞的笑容回应，并拉着他的胳膊带他到一张小桌子前。
一旦他坐在桌子上，沃尔顿说他意识到那个女人拿着一个类似氧气面罩的装置，她把它放在他的脸上。在他能反抗之前，沃尔顿说他昏了过去。
当他再次醒来时，沃尔顿说他在亚利桑那州希伯的加油站外。一个碟形飞行器正悬停在高速公路上方。过了一会儿，飞行器飞走了，沃尔顿跌跌撞撞地走到电话旁，打电话给他的姐夫格兰特·内夫。他以为只过了几个小时。
听完沃尔顿的故事后，吉莱斯皮推测他可能头部遭击并被下药，随后被送往普通医院，在那里他将常规检查的细节与更离奇的情节混淆了。沃尔顿对此予以否认，指出医学检查未发现头部创伤或体内药物痕迹。他向吉莱斯皮警长表示愿意接受测谎、吐真剂或催眠来佐证自己的说法。吉莱斯皮称测谎即可，并承诺秘密安排，以免被日益壮大的媒体马戏团干扰。
杜安和特拉维斯随后驱车前往亚利桑那州斯科茨代尔，与APRO顾问詹姆斯·A·哈德会面。哈德对沃尔顿实施催眠，希望挖掘失踪五天的更多细节。克拉克写道：”然而，与其他许多被绑架者不同，沃尔顿的意识记忆与潜意识’记忆’完全一致，他只能回忆起失踪五天中最多两小时、甚至更短的时间。奇怪的是……沃尔顿遇到了无法突破的心理障碍，并表示如果继续回溯，他会’死’。”（克拉克，637页）
被压制的测谎与争议与此同时，斯波尔丁向媒体宣布，他和”博士”斯图尔德对沃尔顿进行了两小时讯问，发现了其陈述中的矛盾之处，足以”彻底推翻这个故事”。（克拉克，637页）《凤凰公报》刊登了斯图尔德的报道，称”沃尔顿一家害怕精心编造的谎言被揭穿”。（克拉克，638页）
吉莱斯皮警长安排了测谎，但消息泄露给媒体后，杜安取消了测试，认为吉莱斯皮违背了保密承诺。吉莱斯皮后来坚称自己并未泄露测谎消息，并指出此案已过于轰动，任何秘密都难以长久保持。
《国家询问报》希望沃尔顿尽快接受测谎，并安排了一次测试，前提是杜安和沃尔顿有权否决任何公开测试结果。哈德认为沃尔顿情绪过于激动不宜测谎，但测试员——亚利桑那测谎实验室的约翰·J·麦卡锡——表示他会考虑沃尔顿的紧张状态。
在测试前访谈中，麦卡锡从沃尔顿口中套出两项承认：第一，他曾吸过几次大麻，但从未规律使用；第二，他和迈克·罗杰斯的弟弟几年前曾篡改工资支票实施支票欺诈。这是他唯一一次严重触法——沃尔顿完成两年缓刑，未再惹事——但支票欺诈事件仍让他深感羞愧。（顺便提一句，菲利普·J·克拉斯指出，沃尔顿曾声称因此罪入狱，但实际上作为初犯仅被判两年缓刑。）
随后麦卡锡实施了测谎，这一测试至今争议不断。沃尔顿声称麦卡锡行为不专业，而麦卡锡坚称沃尔顿不仅未通过测谎，还试图作弊。沃尔顿称，麦卡锡曾问他是否与任何人”合谋”制造骗局。沃尔顿表示不懂这个词，并报告说麦卡锡以对抗性、咄咄逼人的态度回应称，合谋就是与他人策划或共谋，就像沃尔顿合谋偷窃并伪造工资支票一样。
测试完成后，麦卡锡判定沃尔顿在撒谎。克拉克引用麦卡锡的官方报告：”根据所有图表上的反应，本测试员认为沃尔顿与他人合谋，试图制造UFO骗局，他从未登上任何飞船。”（克拉克，640页）后来，麦卡锡还声称”有时特拉维斯会屏住呼吸，试图’欺骗机器’。”
沃尔顿一家、APRO和《国家询问报》随后同意对此次测谎结果保密，主要理由是质疑麦卡锡的方法和客观性。八个月后，当这一决定被公开时，又引发了更多关于欺骗和掩盖的指控。沃尔顿后来两次通过测谎，但第一次被压制的测试结果始终如影随形，至今几乎每次讨论此案时都会被提及。
当克拉斯公开被压制的测谎消息后，许多原本相信沃尔顿叙述（或至少认为他相信自己的叙述）的人开始以更怀疑的眼光重新审视此案。沃尔顿、杜安和APRO成员辩称麦卡锡有偏见，故意问沃尔顿尴尬、无关的问题，以制造更可能产生负面结果的动荡条件。据克拉克称，公认的测谎专家对麦卡锡测试的适当性意见分歧：哈里·里德支持麦卡锡测试的有效性，而犹他大学心理学家戴维·拉斯金则断言麦卡锡的方法”过时了30多年”。
菲利普·J·克拉斯——职业是航空记者，也是著名的UFO打假人——对沃尔顿的说法发起了持续、系统的批评，尤其认为整个事件有强烈的经济动机。克拉斯称，罗杰斯知道自己无法完成与林务局的合同，于是策划了一个方案，援引合同中的”不可抗力”条款，从而无责解除合同。其他人反对这一观点，指出违反林务局合同未必是克拉斯暗示的灾难：罗杰斯此前曾两次未能完成林务局合同，但仍被重新雇用，且无明显偏见。此外，尽管罗杰斯对合同感到焦虑，但在沃尔顿失踪后，他从未援引或试图援引”不可抗力”条款。
克拉斯等人还指出，沃尔顿失踪前几周，NBC播出了《UFO事件》。这部电视电影改编自希尔绑架案，这是首个广泛报道的外星人绑架案例。克拉斯等人推测沃尔顿受到了该节目的启发。沃尔顿否认看过该节目，但克拉斯指出迈克·罗杰斯至少看了部分内容。克拉斯认为，沃尔顿在UFO上的经历与希尔案大相径庭，而且”截至1975年11月，公开讨论的沃尔顿叙述与其他任何绑架故事之间没有太多相似之处”。（克拉克，649页）
后续影响1978年，沃尔顿出版了《沃尔顿经历》，详细叙述了事件及其后续影响。同年，比尔·巴里出版了《终极遭遇》，认为各种打假者，尤其是克拉斯，未能提出有说服力的论据，而沃尔顿及其他声称有类似经历的人，大致上如实叙述了他们相信发生的事件。
马西森认为，沃尔顿的书犯了一些根本性错误，严重削弱了他的可信度。沃尔顿”自以为是地宣称”只打算叙述事件而不”解读”它们，但马西森写道，”读者几乎立刻就会发现，书中大部分内容不过是高度推测、纯粹想象的重构”。（马西森，109页）例如，在被蓝光击昏后，沃尔顿提供了精确、小说式的对话，描述同事们在恐慌中驾车离开时的交谈。然而，沃尔顿从未说明他是根据他们的转述来 paraphrase 这些话，还是采访了其他人以确定谁说了什么，或者只是假设了他们的对话。马西森认为，这体现了”对字面准确性的漠不关心，读者不禁怀疑这是整部作品的典型特征”。（马西森，110页）
最初的轰动平息后，沃尔顿留在斯诺弗莱克，最终成为一家锯木厂的工头；他娶了达娜·罗杰斯，育有数名子女。除了根据他的遭遇改编的电影外，沃尔顿偶尔会出现在UFO大会或电视特别节目中。
《天火》1993年，沃尔顿的书被改编成电影《天火》，由罗伯特·利伯曼执导，D·B·斯威尼饰演特拉维斯·沃尔顿，罗伯特·帕特里克饰演迈克·罗杰斯，斯科特·麦克唐纳饰演沃尔顿的兄弟丹·沃尔顿。克拉克写道，该片取得了”中等成功，评价褒贬不一，UFO研究者抱怨其不准确和夸张”。（克拉克，650页）尤其不准确的是描述他在UFO上经历的部分，几乎与原叙述毫无相似之处。编剧特雷西·托尔梅甚至给许多UFO研究者写信，声称改动是制片方要求的，并为对沃尔顿叙述做出如此重大修改而道歉。（兰德尔和霍夫，188页）
沃尔顿和迈克·罗杰斯进行了几次宣传亮相以支持电影；他们在《拉里·金现场》上与克拉斯辩论。有一次，克拉斯发怒，称罗杰斯是”该死的骗子”。（克拉克，650页）在书中，克拉克未提供任何背景来解释克拉斯在《拉里·金现场》上的言论。
在这部电影引发的再度关注中，沃尔顿、迈克·罗杰斯和艾伦·达利斯应“一位持怀疑态度的UFO研究者杰里·布莱克”的要求，同意接受测谎测试。（克拉克，第650页）测试再次由赛·吉尔森主持，三人均坚称他们所描述的事件属实。吉尔森得出结论，三人对1975年11月5日事件的回答均为真实。
在电影上映时，沃尔顿以与电影相同的标题重新发行了《沃尔顿经历》，并扩充内容以反驳克拉斯（Klass）的评论。

简介：1975年11月5日，美国伐木工特拉维斯·沃尔顿在亚利桑那州国家森林中遭遇不明飞行物并失踪五天后突然现身。此案成为UFO研究史上最具争议的第四类接触事件之一，拥有多名目击证人证实其遭遇。沃尔顿声称被一道蓝绿色光束击中后失去意识，醒来时发现自己身处外星飞船内部。
Travis Walton (born February 10, 1953) is an American logger who was supposedly abducted by a UFO on November 5, 1975, while working with a logging crew in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in Arizona. Walton could not be found, but reappeared after a five-day search.
The Walton case received mainstream publicity and remains one of the best-known instances of alleged alien abduction. UFO historian Jerome Clark writes that “Few abduction reports have generated as much controversy” as the Walton case. It is furthermore one of the very few alien abduction cases with corroborative eyewitnesses, and one of few abduction cases where the time allegedly spent in the custody of aliens plays a rather minor role in the overall account.
UFO researchers Jenny Randles and Peter Houghe write that “Neither before or since has an abduction story begun in the manner related by Walton and his coworkers. Furthermore, the Walton case is singular in that the victim vanished for days on end with police squads out searching … it is an atypical ‘Close Encounter: Fourth Kind’ (CE4) … which bucks the trend so much that it worried some investigators; others defend it staunchly.” (Randles and Hough, 186)
Discovery in the woods
The case began on Wednesday, November 5, 1975. Then 22 years old, Walton was employed by Mike Rogers, who had for nine years contracted with the United States Forest Service for various duties. Rogers and Walton were best friends; Walton dated Rogers’ sister Dana, whom he later married. Others on the crew were Ken Peterson, John Goulette, Steve Pierce, Allen Dallis and Dwayne Smith. They all lived in the town of Snowflake, Arizona.
Rogers was hired to thin out scrub brush and undergrowth from a large area (more than 1,200 acres) near Turkey Springs, Arizona. The job was the most lucrative contract Rogers had received from the Forest Service, but the job was behind schedule. As a result, they worked overtime to fulfill the contract, typically from 6 a.m. until sunset.
Just after 6 p.m. on November 5, Rogers and his crew finished their work for the day and piled into Rogers’ truck for the drive back to Snowflake. The crew reported that shortly after beginning the drive home, they saw a bright light from behind a hill. They drove closer and said they saw a large silvery disc hovering above a clearing and shining brightly. It was around 8 feet (2.4 m) high and 20 feet (6.1 m) in diameter.
Rogers stopped the truck and Walton leaped out and ran toward the disc. The others said they shouted at Walton to come back but he continued toward the disc. The men in the truck reported that Walton was nearly below the object when the disc began making noises similar to a loud turbine. The disc then began to wobble from side to side, and Walton began to cautiously walk away from the object.
Jerome Clark wrote that just after Walton moved away from the disc, the others insisted they saw a beam of blue-green light coming from the disc and “strike” Walton. Clark went on to write that Walton “rose a foot into the air, his arms and legs outstretched, and shot back stiffly some 10 feet (3.0 m), all the while caught in the glow of the light. His right shoulder hit the earth, and his body sprawled limply over the ground.” (Clark, 628-629)
The searchAbout 7:30 p.m., Peterson called police from Heber, Arizona, near Snowflake. Deputy Sheriff Chuck Ellison answered the telephone; Peterson initially reported only that one of a logging crew was missing. Ellison then met the crew at a shopping center. They related the tale to him — all the men distraught, two of them in tears — and though he was somewhat skeptical of the fantastic account, Ellison would later reflect “that if they were acting, they were awfully good at it.” (Clark, 629)
Ellison notified his superior — Sheriff Marlin Gillespie — who told Ellison to keep the crew in Heber until he could arrive with Officer Ken Coplan to interview the men. In less than an hour, Gillespie and Coplan arrived, and they heard the tale from the crew. Rogers insisted on returning to the scene immediately to search for Walton, with tracking dogs, if possible. No dogs were available, but the police and some of the crew returned to the scene. Crew members Smith, Pierce and Goulette were too upset to be of much help in a search, so they elected to return to Snowflake and relate the bad news to friends and family.
At the scene, the law enforcement officers became suspicious of the story related by the crew, mainly because there was nothing in the way of physical evidence to back up the account. Though more police and volunteers arrived to search the area, they found not a trace of Walton. Winter nights could be bitterly cold in the mountains, and Walton had worn only jeans, a denim jacket and a shirt; police were worried that Walton could fall victim to hypothermia if he were lost.
Rogers and Sheriff Coplan went to tell the news to Walton’s mother, Mary Walton Kellett, who lived on a small ranch at Bear Creek, some 10 miles (16 km) from Snowflake. Rogers told her what had happened, and she asked him to repeat the account. She then asked calmly if anyone other than the police and the eyewitnesses had heard the story. Coplan thought her reserved response was odd; this factor contributed to the growing suspicion among police that something other than a UFO was responsible for Walton’s absence. On the other hand, Clark noted that Kellett was known as being generally guarded, and had furthermore raised six children largely by herself under often trying circumstances, which “had long since taught her to not to fly to pieces in the face of crises and tragedies. Yet in the days ahead, as events overwhelmed her, she would show emotion before friends, acquaintances and strangers alike — a fact that would go unmentioned in debunking treatments of the Walton episode.” (Clark, 631)
About 3 a.m., Kellett telephoned Duane Walton, her second-oldest child. He left his home in Glendale, Arizona, and drove to Snowflake.
By morning on November 6, officials and volunteers had scoured the area around the scene where Walton went missing. No trace of him was discovered, and police suspicions were growing that the UFO tale was concocted to cover up an accident or homicide. Saturday morning, Rogers and Duane Walton arrived at Sheriff Gillespie’s office “explosively angry” because they had returned to the scene and found no police there. By that afternoon, police were searching for Walton with helicopters, horse-mounted officers, and jeeps. (Clark, 361)
PublicityBy Saturday, word of Walton’s disappearance had spread internationally. News reporters, ufologists and the curious began travelling to Snowflake. Among the visitors was Fred Sylvanus, a Phoenix UFO investigator, who interviewed Rogers and Duane Walton on Saturday, November 8. While repeatedly expressing worry for Walton’s well-being (and criticizing what they saw as a halfhearted search effort by police), both men would make statements that would return to haunt them, when seized upon by critics.
On the recordings made by Sylvanus, Rogers noted that because of Walton’s disappearance and the subsequent search, he would be unable to complete his contract with the Forest Service, and he hoped the search for his missing friend would mitigate the situation. Duane Walton reported he and Walton were quite interested in UFOs, and that some twelve years earlier, Duane had witnessed a UFO similar to the one witnessed by the logging crew. Duane reported that he and Walton had both decided that if they had a chance, they would get as close as possible to any UFO they might see. Duane also suggested that Walton would not be injured by the aliens, because “they don’t harm people”. (Clark, 631) Without intending to do so, Rogers and Duane Walton had laid “the foundations for an alternative interpretation of the case” with their statements. (Clark, 632) Walton would later report that he never had a “keen” interest in UFOs, even after his supposed abduction, but the tape recorded statement of his brother Duane, while Walton was still missing, runs contrary to Walton’s statements.
Shortly after the Sylvanus interview, Snowflake town marshal Sanford Flake announced that the entire affair was a prank engineered by Duane and Travis. They had fooled the logging crew by lighting a balloon and “releasing it at the appropriate time”. Flake’s wife disagreed, suggesting that her husband’s story was “just as farfetched as Duane Walton’s”. (Clark, 632)
In the meantime, Police officers were making repeated visits to Kellett’s home; Duane once returned there to find her in tears as she was being questioned in her living room. Duane told the police to leave unless they had something new to relate, or to ask. Duane suggested that she speak with police only on the front porch, which would allow her to end the interview anytime she chose by simply going inside. She did exactly that after Marshal Flake arrived to relate a message, which Clark notes, contributed to the feeling among skeptics that Kellett was “hiding something. Or someone”. (Clark, 632)
Duane also spoke with William H. Spaulding of Ground Saucer Watch. Spaulding suggested that if Walton ever returned, GSW could provide a doctor to examine him in confidence. Spaulding also suggested that if Walton returned, he should save his first urination after returning so it could be tested.
PolygraphOn Monday, November 10, all of Rogers’ remaining crew took polygraph examinations administered by Cy Gilson, an Arizona Department of Public Safety employee. His questions asked if any of the men caused harm to Walton (or knew who had caused Walton harm), if they knew where Walton’s body was buried, and if they told the truth about seeing a UFO. The men all denied harming Walton (or knowing who had harmed him), denied knowing where his body was, and insisted they had indeed seen a UFO.
Excepting Dallis (who had not completed his exam, thus rendering it invalid), Gilson concluded that all the men were truthful, and the exam results were conclusive. Clark quotes from Gilson’s official report: “These polygraph examinations prove that these five men did see some object they believed to be a UFO, and that Travis Walton was not injured or murdered by any of these men on that Wednesday”. If the UFO was fake, Gilson thought, “five of these men had no prior knowledge of it”. (Clark, 633)
Following the polygraph tests, Sheriff Gillespie announced that he accepted the UFO story, saying “There’s no doubt they’re telling the truth.” (Clark, 633)
In 2009, Walton was a participant on game show The Moment of Truth. When asked if he was abducted by a UFO in 1975, he responded, “Yes”, an answer which the polygraph examiner determined to be deceptive prior to taping. Walton, in response to this outcome, said that polygraphs are 97% accurate, even in the best of cases.
The “medical” examDuane remembered Spaulding’s promise of a confidential medical examination. Without having notified authorities of Walton’s return, Duane drove him to Phoenix, Arizona, late Tuesday morning, where they were to meet with Dr. Lester Steward.
The Waltons reported that they were disappointed to learn that Steward was not a medical doctor as Spaulding had promised, but a hypnotherapist. Spaulding and Steward would later report that the Waltons had stayed with them for over two hours, while the Waltons insist they were at Steward’s office for, at most, 45 minutes, most of which was occupied with trying to determine the nature of Steward’s qualifications. The precise time spent with Steward would later become an issue in the case.
Walton’s return makes the newsBy Tuesday afternoon, word of Walton’s return had leaked out to the public. Duane took a telephone call from Spaulding, and told Spaulding not to bother the family again. Clark writes that after this telephone call, “Spaulding became a sworn enemy in the case.” (Clark 363)
Among the other telephone calls after news of Walton’s return was one from Coral Lorenzen of APRO, a civilian UFO research group. She promised Duane that she could arrange an examination for Walton by two medical doctors — general practitioner Joseph Saults and pediatrician Howard Kandell — at Duane’s home. Duane agreed, and the exam began at about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Clark writes that “between Lorenzen’s call and the physicians’ examination, another party would enter, and hugely complicate, the story”. (Clark, 636) Lorenzen was telephoned by an employee of the National Enquirer, an American tabloid newspaper known for its sensationalistic tone. The Enquirer employee promised to finance APRO’s investigation, in exchange for APRO’s “cooperation and access to the Waltons”. Since the Enquirer’s financial resources were far greater than APRO’s, Lorenzen agreed to the arrangement. (Clark, 363)
The medical examination revealed that Walton was essentially in good health, but they did note two unusual features:
- A small red spot at the crease of Walton’s right elbow that was consistent with a hypodermic injection, but the doctors also noted that the spot was not near a vein.
- Analysis of Walton’s urine revealed a lack of ketones. This was unusual, given that if Walton had indeed been gone for five days with little or no food as he insisted (and as his weight loss suggested), his body should have begun breaking down fats in order to survive, and this should have led to very high levels of ketone in his urine. Critics would argue this inconsistency is evidence against Walton’s story.
Walton would later speculate that he had gotten the mark on his elbow in the course of his logging work; critics would speculate that the mark showed where Walton (or someone else) had injected drugs into his system. Clark dismisses this possibility of drugging as most unlikely, given that the medical doctors found no sign of it, but he also notes that perhaps “more difficult to explain is the absence of bruises, which one might expect in the wake of Walton’s alleged beam-driven collision with the ground”. (Clark 637)
Walton in the UFO Walton in the UFO hanger
Walton reported that after approaching the UFO near the work site, the last thing he remembered was being struck by the beam of light. When he woke, Walton said he was on a reclined bed. A bright light shone above him, and the air was heavy and wet. He was in pain, and had some trouble breathing, but his first thought was that he was in a normal hospital.
As his faculties returned, Walton says he realized he was surrounded by three figures, each wearing a sort of orange jumpsuit. The figures were not human. Walton described the beings as typical of the so-called Greys which feature in some abduction accounts: “shorter than five feet, and they had bald heads, no hair. Their heads were domed, very large. They looked like fetuses […] They had large eyes — enormous eyes — almost all brown, without much white in them. The creepiest thing about them were those eyes … they just stared through me.” Their ears, noses and mouths “seemed real small, maybe just because their eyes were so huge.” (Clark, 646)
Walton related that he feared for his safety and got to his feet, and shouted at the creatures to stay away. He grabbed a glasslike cylinder from a nearby shelf and tried to break its tip to create a makeshift knife, but found the object unbreakable, so instead waved it at the creatures as a weapon. The trio of creatures left him in the room.
Matheson finds this portion of the narrative troublingly inconsistent, noting that “despite his ‘weakened’ condition, ‘aching body’ and ‘splitting pain in his skull’, maladies [sic] for which no cause is suggested, he has no trouble jumping up from his operating table, seizing a conveniently placed glasslike rod, and, assuming a karate ‘fighting stance’, frightened them with this display of macho aggression, enough at least to cause them to run away.” (Matheson, 110)
Walton then left the “exam room” via a hallway, which led to a spherical room with only a high-backed chair placed in the center of the room. Though he was afraid there might be someone seated in the chair, Walton says he walked towards it. As he did, lights began to appear in the room. The chair was empty, so Walton says he sat in it. When he did, the room was filled with lights, similar to stars projected on a round planetarium ceiling.
The chair was equipped on the left arm with a single short thick lever with an oddly shaped molded handle atop some dark brown material. On the right arm, there was an illuminated, lime-green screen about five inches square with black lines intersected at all angles.
When Walton pushed the lever, he reported that the stars rotated around him slowly. When he released the lever, the stars remained at their new position. He decided to stop manipulating the lever, since he had no idea what it might do.
He left the chair, and the stars disappeared. Walton thought he had seen a rectangular outline on the rounded wall — perhaps a door — and went to look for it.
Just then, Walton heard a sound behind him. He turned, expecting more of the short, large eyed creatures, but was pleasantly surprised to see a tall human figure wearing blue coveralls with a glassy helmet. At the time, Walton said, he did not realize how odd the man’s eyes were: larger than normal, and a bright gold color.
Walton says he then asked the man a number of questions, but the man only grinned and motioned for Walton to follow him. Walton also said that because of the man’s helmet he might have been unable to hear him, so he followed the man down a hallway which led to a door and a steep ramp down to a large room Walton described as similar to an aircraft hangar. Walton says he realized he had just left a disc-shaped craft similar to the one he had seen in the forest just before he had been struck by the bluish light, but the craft was perhaps twice as large.
In the hangar-like room, Walton reported seeing other disc-shaped craft. The man led him to another room, containing three more humans — a woman and two men — resembling the helmeted man. These people did not wear helmets, so Walton says he began asking questions of them. They responded with the same dull grin, and led him by his arm to a small table.
Once he was seated on the table, Walton says he realized the woman held a device like an oxygen mask, which she placed on his face. Before he could fight back, Walton says he passed out.
When he woke again, Walton says he was outside the gas station in Heber, Arizona. One of the disc-shaped craft was hovering just above the highway. After a moment, the craft shot away, and Walton stumbled to the telephones and called his brother-in-law, Grant Neff. He thought that only a few hours had passed
After hearing Walton’s story, Gillespie speculated that Walton may have been hit on the head and drugged, then taken to a normal hospital where he had confused the details of a routine exam with something more spectacular. Walton dismissed this, noting that the medical examination had found no trace of head trauma or drugs in his system. Walton told Sheriff Gillespie that he was willing to take a polygraph, a truth serum, or undergo hypnosis to support his account. Gillespie said that a polygraph would suffice, and he promised to arrange one in secret to avoid the growing media circus.
Duane and Travis then drove to Scottsdale, Arizona, where a meeting with APRO consultant James A. Harder had been arranged. Harder hypnotized Walton, hoping to uncover more details of the missing five days. Clark writes that “Unlike many other abductees, however, Walton’s conscious recall and unconscious ‘memory’ were the same, and he could account for only a maximum of two hours, and perhaps less, of his missing five days. Curiously … Walton encountered an impenetrable mental block and expressed the view that he would ‘die’ if the regression continued.” (Clark, 637)
Suppressed polygraph exam and controversyIn the meantime, Spaulding had announced to the press that he and “Dr.” Steward had questioned Walton for two hours, and had uncovered inconsistencies in Walton’s account that would “Blow this story out”. (Clark, 637) The Phoenix Gazette ran a story about Steward, who related his claims that the “Waltons fear exposure” of a carefully crafted lie. (Clark, 638)
Sheriff Gillespie arranged for a polygraph, but when word of the exam was leaked to the press, Duane canceled it, thinking that Gillespie had broken his promise to keep the test a secret. Gillespie would later insist he had not leaked word of the polygraph, and that the case had become too sensationalistic to keep anything secret for long.
The National Enquirer wanted Walton to take a polygraph as soon as possible, and arranged for one, after Duane insisted that he and Walton have the power to veto any public disclosure of the test results. Harder thought that Walton was too distraught to take a polygraph, but the examiner — John J McCarthy, of the Arizona Polygraph Laboratory — said he could take Walton’s nervous state into consideration.
In interviewing Walton before the exam began, McCarthy extracted two admissions from him: First, that he had smoked marijuana a few times, but had never used the drug regularly, and secondly, that he and Mike Rogers’ younger brother had committed check fraud a few years earlier by altering payroll checks. It was his only serious brush with the law – Walton completed two years probation without further incident – but Walton remained deeply embarrassed about the check fraud episode. (Incidentally, Philip J. Klass notes that Walton once claimed to have been jailed for this crime, though he actually received two years’ probation as a first-time offender.)
McCarthy then administered the polygraph, which remains mired in controversy. Walton asserts McCarthy behaved unprofessionally, while McCarthy insists Walton both failed the polygraph and tried to cheat. At one point, says Walton, McCarthy asked if Walton had “colluded” with anyone to perpetrate a hoax. Walton said he was unfamiliar with the word, and Walton reported that McCarthy replied, in a confrontational and aggressive manner, that collusion was planning or conspiring with another, just as Walton had colluded to steal and forge payroll checks.
After completing the exam, McCarthy determined that Walton was lying. Clark quotes from McCarthy’s official report: “Based on his reaction on all charts, it is the opinion of this examiner that Walton, in concert with others, is attempting to perpetrate a UFO hoax, and that he has not been on any spacecraft”. (Clark, 640) Later, McCarthy would assert that “sometimes Travis would hold his breath, in an effort to ‘beat the machine.”
The Waltons, APRO and the National Enquirer then agreed to keep the results of this polygraph a secret, due in large part, they insisted, to doubts about McCarthy’s methods and objectivity. Eight months later, when word of this decision was made public, there would be more charges of deception and cover-up. Walton would later take and pass two additional polygraph exams, though the suppressed results of the first exam would shadow him and earn mention in nearly every discussion of the case to the present.
Once word of the suppressed polygraph was made public by Klass, many who had thought Walton had related a true account (or at least what he thought was a true account) reconsidered the case with a more skeptical eye. Walton, Duane and APRO members argued that McCarthy was biased, and had asked Walton embarrassing, irrelevant questions in an effort to create turbulent conditions more likely to produce a negative result. According to Clark, the opinions of recognized polygraph experts were divided about the propriety of McCarthy’s exam: Harry Reed supported the validity of McCarthy’s exam, while psychologist David Raskin of the University of Utah asserted that McCarthy’s method was “more than 30 years out of date.”
Philip J. Klass — an aviation journalist by profession, but also a well-known UFO debunker — launched a concerted, sustained critique against Walton’s claims, arguing especially that there was a strong financial motive to the entire affair. Rogers knew he would be unable to complete his contract with the Forest Service, argued Klass, and concocted a scheme to invoke the contract’s act of God clause, thus dissolving the contract without fault. Others argued against this idea, noting that defaulting on a Forest Service contract was not necessarily the catastrophe Klass implied: Rogers had failed to complete two of his many earlier Forest Service contracts, yet had been rehired without apparent prejudice. Furthermore, despite his anxiety over the contract, Rogers never invoked or tried to invoke the “act of God” clause in the aftermath of Walton’s disappearance.
Klass and others also noted that The UFO Incident was broadcast on NBC just a few weeks before Walton’s disappearance. This made-for-television film was a fictionalized account of the Hill Abduction, the first widely publicized case of alien abduction. Klass and others speculated that Walton had been inspired by the program. Walton denied that he had watched the program, but Klass notes that Mike Rogers watched at least a portion of the program. Clark argues that Walton’s account of his time on the UFO is quite different from the Hill account, and that furthermore, “there is not a great deal of similarity between Walton’s and any other abduction narrative” publicly discussed as of November, 1975. (Clark, 649)
AftermathIn 1978, Walton published The Walton Experience, in which he outlined his own narrative of the event and its aftermath. The same year, Bill Barry published The Ultimate Encounter, in which he argues that the various debunkers, especially Klass, did not make persuasive cases and that Walton and others alleging similar experiences related events more or less as they believed they had happened.
Matheson argues that Walton’s book makes a few fundamental errors that severely harm his case. While Walton “proclaims self-righteously” that he intends only to relate events and not “interpret” them, Matheson writes, “the reader will see almost immediately that large sections of the book are nothing more than highly speculative, purely imaginative recreations on his part”. (Matheson, 109) For example, after he is knocked unconscious by the blue beam, Walton offers precise, novelistic dialogue describing the conversations of his fellow crew workers after they drove away in a panic. Yet Walton never mentions whether he is paraphrasing their words based on what they related to him, if he interviewed the others to determine who said what, or if he simply assumed what they said. Matheson argues that this represents a “lack of concern for literal accuracy that the reader cannot help but suspect is characteristic of the entire work”. (Matheson, 110)
After the initial furor subsided, Walton remained in Snowflake and eventually became the foreman at a lumber mill; he married Dana Rogers and they had several children. Beyond the film based on his encounter, Walton has occasionally appeared at UFO conventions or on television specials.
Fire in the Sky In 1993, Walton’s book was adapted into a film, Fire in the Sky, directed by Robert Lieberman and starring D. B. Sweeney as Travis Walton, Robert Patrick as Mike Rogers and Scott MacDonald as Walton’s brother Dan Walton. Clark writes that the film found “Moderate success, mixed reviews, and ufologists’ complaints about its inaccuracies and exaggerations.” (Clark, 650) Especially inaccurate was the portion of the film detailing his time on the UFO; it bears almost no resemblance to the original narrative. Screenwriter Tracy Tormé even sent letters to many ufologists, claiming that the changes were requested by studio officials, and apologizing for making such substantial alterations to Walton’s narrative. (Randles and Hough, 188)
Walton and Mike Rogers made a few promotional appearances to support the film; they debated Klass on Larry King Live. At one point, Klass lost his temper and called Rogers a “goddamned liar.” (Clark, 650) In his book, Clark does not offer any background context to explain Klass’s remark on Larry King Live.
In the renewed publicity generated by the motion picture, Walton, Mike Rogers and Allen Dallis agreed to take polygraph examinations at the behest of “a skeptical ufologist, Jerry Black”. (Clark, 650) Again, the tests were conducted by Cy Gilson, and the men all asserted that the events as they related them were true. Gilson concluded that all three men were truthful in regard to their responses about the events of November 5, 1975.
At the time of the film’s release, Walton re-issued The Walton Experience under the same title as the film; expanding it to include text rebutting Klass’s commentary.
