Travis Walton's new theory.

Travis Walton has gone on record that he no longer believes his abduction was due to malicious intent. He now believes that the light-beam that hit him was either entirely an accident or affected him more severely than the aliens had intended. He was brought onto the alien ship because they knew, if left alone, he would die.

Everything in his account of what happened on board the ship fits this theory. The object on his chest (probably an attempt to keep him breathing), the aliens who in no way attempted to harm him after he woke up, the fact that they left him alone (probably to give him time to calm down and gather his thoughts)...it all makes sense to Travis now.

I dont know, if the beam was an accident why was it aiming at him?

Maybe they were taking soil samples and then realised that a human got in there way... OH *beep* lets bring him up and revive him :)

I think his speculation is that the effect of the beam was unintentional. Perhaps they cast the beam on him intentionally, but expecting that it would only act as a greeting, or help him tie his shoe, or what-not. Being new to the neighborhood, they had no idea that it would incapacitate him in the way that it did.

Yeah, he comes up with some new insight or theory periodically. Keeps him in the news.

In the movie he dives into a gutted corpse due to zero gravity.

Google him, the book is different, that didn't happen. His website, Walton that is, has excerpts from the book.

The book was almost nothing like the film. The real account is interesting, but not enough to make for that interesting of an abduction sequence.
