Travis Walton, whose UFO encounter inspired the Paramount movie “Fire in the Sky,” will be among the featured speakers at Edinburg’s “Out of This World” Conference & Festival.
The day-long event on Friday, March 15 will run from 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Edinburg Conference Center at Renaissance, 118 Paseo Del Prado Road.

Walton’s UFO encounter is the world’s best-documented alien abduction story. On Nov. 5, 1975, in plain sight of six other men, Walton was blasted by a beam of blue-green light that emanated from a large UFO that hovered directly overhead. He then disappeared for five days, returning with a story about being taken aboard a UFO.
Stanton Friedman, a nuclear physicist and internationally recognized advocate of the theory that earth has been visited by extraterrestrials.

A catered box lunch will also be available for an additional $10. Admission for children under 10 is free when accompanied by an adult.
On Saturday, March 16 the festival continues from 5-10 p.m. at the Edinburg City Hall Courtyard, where there will be an array of UFO related activities, artists and music, as well as creative costume contest.
