Fire in the Sky released in March, and the X-Files premiered in September of the same year. The movie came out first, not to mention the story, before the X-Files had even shown episode 1. Huge fan of them both, and it's just something dumb I wanted to pointed out lol

[@RustCole01]

Dude, I remember the X-Files being HUUUUUGE when I was a kid. Like 9-13 years old. I was obviously too young to grasp a show like that, but I do remember watching a little bit of 1 episode and I was afraid to watch it ever again. It was that episode with the Human-Fluke monster. I couldn't even go in murky water without thinking about that goddamn thing. It wasn't until about 5 or 6 years ago, that I actually attempted to watch the show on Netflix or whatever platform it was on. I was absolutely stunned how great of a show it was. I bet I burned thru the entire TV series in less than a month. And then I immediately rewatched it because there were so many details that I just missed the 1st time around. I was familiar with the show and references to it and I knew who Mulder and Scully were, but I didn't watch it until I was in my 30's. It is crazy how well the show holds up. Chris Carter is a genius and I have to imagine that he was plugged in to some seriously well-informed people that operated in the UFO arena. I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like there have been weird stories that have been confirmed or leaked over the last 20 years that were very similar to plots that occurred in the X-Files. I gotta say, 2 of the funny episodes are among my favorites. That episode with the grandfather from "Everybody Loves Raymond", where he plays the clairvoyant still cracks me up til this day. And "Jose Chung's: From Outter Space" might be my favorite episode ever. The layers of comedy and conspiracy are silly, but at the same time, the episode does present a very believable possibility that helps explain why the topic of UFO's/aliens, has remained so mysterious over the years. Such a great show.

Summary of the abduction: Travis was on a logging crew in the Northern Arizona mountains. As they finished up and headed down the mountain in a pick-up truck, they saw a very bright light. As they got closer they saw the light was coming from a hovering object; they stopped the truck and Travis jumped out and ran toward the object. A beam of light hit Travis and he was knocked back a good distance. The others became alarmed and took off down the trail, but came back later and couldn't find Travis. Travis says he woke up on a table surrounded by gray aliens, who left the room after a frightened Travis challenged them (the grey aliens were never seen again). Then Travis walked around the craft and entered a "control room" with a map of the galaxy on the ceiling. He took a seat in the "pilot's" chair, fiddle with a few of the manual controls, which caused the map to shift around. He then was approached by two "Nordic" aliens, tall and blonde human looking beings wearing space suits. This comforted Travis, and Travis was then led to another area of the ship. The Nordics then placed a what seemed to be an "oxygen mask" on him and Travis quickly lost consciousness. He then woke up next to the highway. It should be noted that grey aliens are generally perceived as alarming to outright malevolent by alien contactees, while Nordic beings are perceived as pleasant and reassuring. There is a theory that they are two different beings with much different agendas. Perhaps the Nordics intervened to help a distressed Travis? While Travis was missing, the others reported the incident to the police who suspected they had killed Travis and hoaxed the abduction to get away with it. But Travis was eventually found, although heavily malnourished and in a confused and agitated state.

Yes they all passed the lie detector tests as well. And to clarify on the summary, the Nordics didn't transfer him to another area of the ship. They transferred him to a completely different ship.

He got zapped and the aliens said we gotta fix this dude we can't leave him like this

[@allisonhunter1063]

That was my thought. That the aliens aboard the ship didn't intentionally attack him. It must have been a security feature of the ship, like it was on sentry mode. Then, once the aliens realized Travis was fatally injured, they knew they needed to fix him. In his story he says they did things to keep him there but never HURT him. Then once he was healed they dropped him off quite near the pay phone he used to call his brother, who initially hung up on him, believing he was a prank caller and Travis was dead. Even the police were investigating the other loggers for murder. I believe all but one of them passed their initial polygraph exams before Travis came home.

Love Joe Rogan, he's always open minded, and straight to the point. Fire in the sky was a brilliant movie with a brilliant cast, it freaked the hell out of me, especially when you got to the "inside the craft" part and the aliens, those images will stay with me and haunt me forever.

[@manhalen7046]

Well........no, actually the movie was damn near a total bastardization of what Travis Walton actually experienced while on board the ship. Assuming he was actually still on the ship (which we all assume, as does he) while all this happened. The producers/director turned the movie into a horror story which couldnt have been further from what happened, according to Walton. After they had him on board and fixed whatever was messed up with him because he stood too close to the ship, they pretty much showed him around the place. It's really a cool story, not a HORROR story to sell movie tickets.

They stopped their car below it and stared at it. It was producing a ton of heat. Anyway, in the aftermath the one lady that actually got out of the car to get a better look lost a ton of her hair. And was very sick throwing up, had a lot of issues. They all did, but especially her, because she was the closest one. All of these are classic radiation symptoms.

I saw a ghost as a seven year old, I remember it like it was yesterday, a grey shadowy figure walked off a six foot wall onto our coal bunker and then onto the back yard. it then headed into the outside toilet by way of traveling through the toilet door. its since crossed my mind that it looked like a grey of ufo mythology. though taller with typical human face. no genitals mind. naked. really freaked me out.

[@nikapol25]

I would want to know, and not be believed if that was the cost.

[@SkeetoBurrito1]

There's different levels of being that alien guy. The one who believes vs the one who says he's been abducted. Even though more and more people believe now these days, I think telling people you've been abducted can really make it hard on you in life. Hard to find a job, keep friends, and be considered a reputable sources.

[@DavidMartinez-fg1hh]

Fire in the sky was of all-time favorite

[@GlockNdDip]

Did the people report the incident as soon as or at least before he reapeared?

[@steveharris3068]

Not a cell phone, a pay phone 🤣

[@doughill6579]

Joe, they weren’t using cell phones in the 80s. Lol.

[@nosidam1989]

I share his opinion in that I’ve always wanted to witness a paranormal event just to stoke the flame of faith again!!

[@sgt.lincolnosiris4111]

Yeah if God exists, it needs to get on that. My faith has diminished with all the souless trash in the world.

[@codubhlaoich]

I don't get the connection with aliens and an afterlife though

[@vincentvega5686]

the fact they dont know about travis walton and his ufo story shows just how young these kids are

[@kstars101]

Calls someone on a cellphone? Lol must have borrowed it from the aliens.

[@AdamSmith-ew2xd]

No shit. Lol

[@NeverStopin247]

Aliens DUI causing problems😂

[@kimdawcatgirl]

They want this experience, but dont want what God offers, which is better.

[@Madocthevindicator]

If you've lived in the mountains where there are no city lights, you will see things in the night sky that will educate you on this subject.

[@solidsnake3861]

that movie about Walton is great

[@WilliamPrice-s1s]

How do you get trees in Arizona, it's a big desert.

[@bobhoward6676]

Kids, This is why you never go into the forest to take acid or mushrooms. Stay home and be safe.

[@davidstolove8685]

I had very similar experience with five people in 1991

[@innerjon]

Didn’t think they had cell phones back then.

[@trybebill7865]

it was in the 70's joe. he definitely wasn't calling anyone on a cell phone. it was a pay phone.

[@dylanstewart2766]

This title is so misleading. Travis Walton is one of the most infamous alien abduction cases. The title suggests something happened to one of “Joes friends”. He only knew Travis because of his event in the 80s…

[@treauxvidieaux5668]

Dang it Joe. This was not a good summary of the Walton incident. Fire in the sky was a movie based on the incident. The event happened in 1975 (no cell phones). The movie was released in 95. Walton is 70 now. There was so much to that story, the dehydration, the man hunt, the accusations that his buddies killed him, the lie detector stuff etc... You usually do a much better job Joe. For the listeners who never heard of this story you brief synopsis comes off a little under whelming.

[@debbierichards8182]

I believe him, I remember this, he did pay the price to go public.

[@codubhlaoich]

What do aliens have to do with an afterlife though lol

[@justmejm]

Rogan says "He Calls someone on a cell phone" hahahahaa #joerogan #70s

[@Zetaret7318]

Love how Hollywood depicts this movie as these evil beings who he was abducted by

[@warlords1775]

Good flick. He called from a phone booth.

[@patbryant8968]

Great Video 😆😘💙💞

[@peterolsen9131]

used to have a bob lazar bobble head called "little bob" someone stole it , but it was from way back when the story came out, loved little bob ...

[@farinshore8900]

Not sure those people qualify as friends.

[@jerryvonb205]

There were no cell phones then, Joe!

[@MegGibson-b2x]

“Aliens” are fallen angels

[@travisstamp7428]

Travis' name and him being gone for 5 days, was the only thing Joe got right about that entire story....and hes met the man!!
