Hosted by Tempe resident bibliophile Tracy Sobers
The Book: Fire in the Sky: The Walton Experience (2018), by Travis Walton. 370 pages
Very special book club meeting! This book was suggested by Dominik, who is Tempe's resident expert on all things UAP. Dominik knows the author personally. The author has provided autographed copies of this book to the book club.
On November 5, 1975 a group of loggers in the mountains of northeastern Arizona observed a strange, unusually bright light in the sky. One of those men, Travis Walton, recklessly left the safety of their truck to take a closer look. Suddenly, as he walked toward the light, Walton was blasted back by a bolt of mysterious energy. His companions fled in fear. When they reported an encounter with a UFO - something they would have considered impossible if they had not witnessed it themselves - the men were suspected of murder. For five days authorities mounted a massive manhunt in search of Walton - or his body. Then Walton reappeared, disoriented and initially unable to tell the whole story of his terrifying encounter. In Fire in the Sky Travis Walton relates in his own words the best documented account of alien abduction yet recorded, the story of his harrowing ordeal at the hands of silent captors and his return to a disbelieving world of hostile interrogators, exploitative press and self-styled debunkers.
What to Bring? You do not need to bring anything. Simply read the book OR watch the feature film "Fire in the Sky" OR watch the documentary before attending the meeting. It can be useful if you bring your physical or digital copy of the book. We will be scheduling watch parties for both the feature film AND the documentary, to take place BEFORE the book club meeting.
Who? This is a fun book club event that men and women from the neighborhood potluck list are invited to, along with everybody else who is interested.
