CONFERENCE SUMMARY

Travis Walton
The Official Travis Walton Web Site



Mr. Walton did not dissapoint the capacity audience in attendance. Beginning with a multimedia presentation,
Travis truely set the record straight as to what happened in the hills outside Snowflake Arizona the night of his abduction and in the days that followed..
In his candid, matter of fact manner, he clarified many details of his experience as well as clearly letting the audience know
when the filmakers took dramatic license with the true account of his experience. His presentation included excerpts of
TV interviews with the actual participants in his experience as well as interviews with the actors who portrayed them in the film, "Fire In The Sky".
To conclude his presentation, Travis took questions from the audience making this a memorable time for all in attendance.
Travis sold out of his recently updated book, "Fire In The Sky - The Walton Experience" and took additional orders for copies
that he would ship upon his return home. His book is also available at his web site.

Kathleen Marden, the niece of Betty and Barney Hill, brought the audience fresh insights
into the myths and facts surrounding her late aunt and uncle's legendary abduction experience.
Having occurred in the early 1960's, their abduction experience, and its subsequent unsought media publicity,
(including a "made for TV" movie), served to fuel myths and inaccuracies about them that that survive to this day.
Kathleen, with her non-nonsense, analytical approach, dispelled those myths and inaccuracies utilizing
documented evidence to "set the record straight" and provide a truely accurate picture of the events surrounding
Betty and Barney's fascinating and sometimes terrifying abduction experience. Kathleen and Stanton T. Friedman
collaborated on "Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience", a New Page Books best seller,
and she made copies of this fascinating book available to the conference attendees. It is also available from her web site:

As a bonus to the conference attendees, Kathleen gave a 2nd presentation on the conundrum of alien abduction that
pointed out many of the analytical pitfalls that researchers and debunkers alike either accidentally or purposefully
encounter that distort the facts about the alien abduction phenomenon. Kathleen clearly demonstrated that regardless
of the phenomenon's ultimate etiology, it is worthy of serious scientic study. Kathleen followed her presentations with
question and answer sessions that allowed attendees to further gain insight into her well presented subject matter.
