On November 5, 1975 in Snowflake, Arizona, logger Travis Walton, and his co-workers head to work in the White Mountains. Driving home from work, the loggers come across an unidentified flying object. Curious to learn more, Walton gets out of the truck and is struck by a bright beam of light from the object and is sent flying several feet backwards as if pushed by an unseen force.
