It is widely regarded as a hoax, even by believers of UFOs and alien abductions. Walton was employed by future brother-in-law Mike Rogers on a federal contract. On October 20, Rogers acknowledged in writing that the job had fallen seriously behind schedule and might not be completed by the deadline. That night, Walton and Rogers watched ''The UFO Incident'', a movie about the alleged abduction of Barney and Betty Hill.
