    • Quotes

      Blake Davis: We got a proposition for ya'll. I want you to take a lie detector test. If you're telling the truth, it'll sure strengthen your cause.

      Mike Rogers: [looks at the others] We'll think about it.

      Blake Davis: I got a good man right here in the state. I mean, you can take it today, tomorrow, anytime that ya'll feel...

      Mike Rogers: I said, we'll think about it!

      Lieutenant Frank Watters: Why don't we have a little talk, Mike. Outside.

      [they both go outside]

      Lieutenant Frank Watters: Young Greg told us the truth about the cut on Dallis's hand. It wasn't a paper cut, was it? He had an altercation with Travis on the day of the disappearance. Isn't that true?

      Mike Rogers: I guess.

      Lieutenant Frank Watters: I think you're startin' to get a pretty good feel for who I am, Rogers. I've been at this line of work for a long time. You know what's startin' to bug me? I think maybe you didn't kill your friend. But for the life of me, I can't figure why you're coverin' up.

    Try this if you like UFO movies.
    "Fire in the Sky" can be appreciated only if you are into UFO movies, and if you like scary alien abduction scenes. The film is based on the allegedly true story of Travis Walton's alien abduction. After seeing the film, and becoming extremely interested in the subject, I read the book by Travis. Reading it, I found out that the abduction scene was changed in the movie. Whether what happened in the book was real or not, the change in the film was good, because those ten minutes of abduction scene are, quite possibly, among the most frightening pieces of footage in film history! I couldn't go to sleep for a month after that. It was tough to deal with. I recommend it because I know that there are some of you out there who like UFOs, and like a good scare!
