"Ground Saucer Watch" Memo on the Walton Incident
Conclusions (undated: probably December, 1975)
"Ground Saucer Watch," a pro-UFO organization, was the very first UFO organization on the scene of the Walton "abduction". In cooperation with Dr. J. Allen Hynek of CUFOS, Dr. Lester Stewart of GSW began to interview the Walton family while Travis was still "missing." They immediately smelled a hoax. These are their conclusions, without any changes - RS.
1. Walton never boarded the UFO. This fact is supported by the six witnesses and the polygraph test results. [3]
2. The entire Walton family has had a continual UFO history. The Walton boys have reported observing 10 to 15 separate UFO sightings (very high).
3. When Duane was questioned about his brother's disappearance, he stated that "Travis will be found, that UFO's are friendly." GSW countered, "How do you know Travis will be found?" Duane said "I have a feeling, a strong feeling." GSW asked "If the UFO 'captors' are going to return Travis, will you have a camera to record this great occurrence?" Duane, "No, if I have a camera 'they' will not return."
4. The Walton's mother showed no outward emotion over the 'loss' of Travis. She said that UFO's will not harm her son, he will be returned and that UFO's have been seen by her family many times.
5. The Walton's refused any outside scientific help or anyone who logically doubted the abduction portion of the story.
6. The media and GSW was fair to the witnesses. However, when the story started to 'fall apart' the Waltons would only talk to people who did not doubt the abduction story.
7. APRO became involved and criticized both GSW and Dr. Hynek for taking a negative position on the encounter.
8. The Waltons 'sold' their story to the National Enquirer and the story was completely twisted from the truth.
