- ==============INSIDE UFOLOGYMarch 1988==============Special Early Bird Edition--------------------------A PARANET WORLD EXCLUSIVE:NEW MOVIE
- PROJECT ANNOUNCED! ParaNet Alpha 02/24 -- In an upcoming press release, a major movie studio will announce a new film project based on a
- famous UFO abduction, the Travis Walton case of 1975. The film, called "Fire in the Sky," was written by California abduction researcher Tr
- acy Torme, who is also the new executive story editor of the hit TV series, "Star Trek: The Next Generation." There are no details at this t
- ime as to shooting schedule, featured actors, or release date, however Torme has assured ParaNet that it will be a "major" motion picture.
- The Travis Walton case is one of ufology's most celebrated. In November of 1975, Walton, a woodcutter from Snowflake, AZ, claimed to have
- been taken aboard a saucer-shaped UFO while in full view of five of his co-workers. When he did not return for five days, the other workers
- became murder suspects and were administered polygraph exams to test their incredible claim. Authorities were taken aback when none of them
- failed the exams. Walton himself, back on Earth five days later, took a series of three polygraph exams, only the first of which he failed.
- Most reviewers agree the first test results cannot be considered reliable, due to the obvious animosity of the examiner and the freshness of
- Walton's alleged experience at the time of the test. Several books have been written about the affair, including "Abducted!" by the Lore
- nzens of A.P.R.O., and Walton's own "The Travis Walton Affair." "Fire in the Sky" will be the first serious screen treatment of the rapidly
- spreading "alien abduction syndrome." Torme is the son of jazz crooner Mel Torme. His other credits include a stint as a writer for "Satu
- rday Night Live," and another movie project now in production, called "The Witching Hour." He lives in West Hollywood, CA, and will soon be
- joining ParaNet as a Special Contributor.
