Fire In The Sky (1993)

Every weekday during HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST represents a different theme and today is our first discussion for Thursdays’ theme we’re calling TRUE THREAT THURSDAYS. Scary and chilling movies that are based upon true stories. Some selections are understandably more speculative than others and for our first “true threat” talk we’re delving into an adaptation of an allegedly true alien abduction whose alien experimentation scene catapults what might have been a forgettable film into a certain level of notorious cult status. People around our age might know exactly what we’re talking about when we reference THAT alien abduction scene. Thank goodness the director Robert Lieberman, as well as the writers and producers, opted to embellish Travis Walton’s abduction details. Otherwise we wouldn’t have gotten what is maybe the best alien abduction scene in film history. That’s right, we’re talking about the 1993 adaptation of the Travis Walton UFO incident called “FIRE IN THE SKY” starring Robert Patrick, James Garner & DB Sweeney. The actual story is controversial, even amongst UFO buffs, but either it’s impressively real or almost equally impressively faked. We discuss this cult classic with the one legendary scene and compare it to the actual accounts at the end of the episode and give our thoughts on the matter. Bob kind of rambles like a conspiracy theorist.
