🛸 Chapter 9: The Abduction of Travis Walton

Travis Walton was a logger who was abducted in 1975 while working in an Arizona forest. His coworkers witnessed him disappear into a beam of light below a glowing disk, and he was missing for 5 days before showing up on a road outside of town, severely disoriented and dehydrated. Campobasso will keep you on the edge of your seat as he guides through the details of this intriguing abduction case.

🛸 Chapter 11: Shag Harbour

An awesome connection to Nova Scotia, The UFO Hotspot Compendium covers the Shag Harbour UFO incident from 1967 on the south shore of our beautiful province. The event is one of the most well-documented cases in Canadian UFO-history. Witnesses in the area reported seeing a bright, pulsating sphere descending from the sky and disappearing into the Atlantic Ocean. Campobasso detailed the official and unofficial investigations that followed, and we promise that the facts of this case will haunt you; it's well-worth a deep dive if you're from Nova Scotia like us!
