Anyone who believes Travis is a dope.


- He miserably failed his initial polygraph (but, I won't rely too much on that, since I think that test is crap anyway);

- He has told multiple and inconsistent stories;

- He said he was not a UFO buff, even though he, his brother and his mother all repeatedly talked about seeing UFOs;

- His "experience" occurred shortly after the Barney and Betty Hill abduction movie had aired (Harvard researcher Susan Clancy's study showed it was fairly common for someone to claim a UFO incident after recent depictions of alleged UFO activity in the media);

- Despite his traumatic and violent abduction by the evil aliens, he had no injuries other than a small mark on his arm;

- His urine test revealed no elevated ketone levels, which would have been the case had he not eaten for 5 days as he claimed;

- His mother expressed no concern upon learning of his abduction, accepting he was taken by aliens and they would not hurt him;

- The boss he was working for was in deep trouble, with his timber clearing contract having only a few days left, and if he couldn't complete it, it would be canceled - but there was an Act of God provision;

- Fake Walton claimed that, in 2014, he and friends witnessed a huge UFO that passed over him, so big he didn't think anything that large could get off the ground; despite speaking at several silly UFO conferences, he never mentioned it until years later, and still has not identified the fictional "friends";

- Travis Walton is to simple minded to keep his story straight, but gullible UFO fanatics have kept him in Keystone Light;

- No serious researcher or scientist believes him;

- For decades, he's milked an incident that didn't happen, and is laughing and all of the goobers who bought his story hook, line and sinker.

I guess I was a "dope" for years but not now. I am dope free.

Polygraphs don't really count for much. I think people are starting to realize they are based on pseudoscience.

I agree, though, he's not believable.
