Steve Pierce witness:

Kate’s Guest: Steve Pierce has become well known as the main wit­ness in one of the most famous cases in ufol­ogy, the ‘Travis Wal­ton Abduc­tion.’ A movie of the event was filmed called ‘Fire in the Sky”.

Steve was only sev­en­teen years old, when work­ing as a log­ger as a crew of sev­en near Snowflake, Ari­zona. All sev­en men saw some­thing that would for­ev­er change their lives when they encoun­tered an out of place bright light on the evening of Nov. 5, 1975. As the men got clos­er to the light, they could see it was a craft hov­er­ing just above the trees. One of the men, Travis Wal­ton, exit­ed the truck and head­ed towards the craft. Steve, hav­ing a win­dow seat in the truck, wit­nessed a beam of light bolt from the craft and hit Travis, send­ing him fly­ing through the air. The men took off sud­den­ly, and upon return­ing a short time lat­er, Travis was nowhere to be found.

The towns­folk became divid­ed, when Steve and five co-work­ers were accused of mur­der­ing Travis. Reporters from all over the world arrived in the small town of Snowflake and hound­ed the men and their fam­i­lies. Steve took a poly­graph test which showed he was telling the truth of wit­ness­ing an unusu­al craft. The poly­graph also showed Steve was telling the truth when he claimed he had not mur­dered Travis or knew of any­one else that mur­dered Travis or knew of Travis’s where­abouts.

Steve went into hid­ing for almost four decades, but was being tracked in those ear­ly years by UFO skep­tic, Philip Klass. Klass offered Steve a large sum of mon­ey to change his sto­ry and claim it was a hoax.

Steve speaks at UFO con­ven­tions and appears on numer­ous radio pro­grams. He also appeared on the tele­vi­sion pro­gram ‘Para­nor­mal Wit­ness’ titled ‘The Abduc­tion’ in Octo­ber 2012.

Steve decid­ed to try to bring out more of his mem­o­ries through hyp­not­ic regres­sion with Yvonne Smith where he under­went three regres­sions in 2013.

Steve has only recent­ly come out to tell his side of the sto­ry and what’s hap­pened to him since he went on to become a long haul truck dri­ver and is now retired. Steve is also in the midst of writ­ing a book about his life sto­ry
