I just saw the movie made about the Travis Walton case (Fire in the Sky) and did some internet searching about it. As usual in the case of movie adaptations, the real story apparently is quite different from what was on the screen.
Either way, I have one question about it. Who is the seventh man on the logging team? I suppose I could find the answer by getting a copy of the book and finding out myself, but I'm too lazy. In all online accounts of the story, a seven man crew is referenced and then the names of only six men are given. Did the seventh guy opt out of the whole thing, refuse to have anything to do with it?  In the movie  there is a six man team.
Just curious. Did the seventh guy pdonkey the lie detector tests, too, I wonder?

The bad word filter is switched on pretty high, isn't it? Pdonkey???! Pa.s.s Anyway, to answer my own question, I've since seen a recording of the talk Walton gave to the International Scientific and Metaphysical Symposium in Australia in 2003. He names and shows pictures of all seven guys and says a little about them and their reactions to the incident. One man, whom he never names, apparently refused to leave his home after dark for years afterward and has refused to talk about what happened to this day. And Walton says not all of the men went back to the woods to search. Even though Alan Dalis has been accused of being the most frightened of all of the men the night it happened, he was one of the men who went back to look the next day and the man who accused him of being so scared has never gone back. Interesting talk. If you can find a recording of it, it's worthwhile to give it a look. There's nothing like hearing the story directly from the man to whom it happened.
Very funny moment at the end of the talk when Walton is asked why did he think he was taken, what was the cause of him being taken. He replies that over the years people have tried to tell him they - the aliens - had it planned and they were waiting for the men, but he prefers to think it happened beause he was dumb enough to get out of the truck and get too close. If he had it to do over again, he would stay in the truck.
