WALTON DISC CRAFT (1975 REPORT)

Luminous disc-shaped structure reported by Travis Walton’s logging crew near Turkey Springs, Arizona: roughly 20 feet wide and eight feet high, smooth and panel-lined with a mid-body ring, low hover, beeping/turbine-like sounds and wobbling motion. The broader abduction case remains controversial.
