Vem var det som ordnade alla lögndetektortest och varför?
Klarade dom lögndetektortesten så kunde dom vinna 100,000 dollar av en tidning som sökte bevis att UFO's kom från yttre rymden och inte från vår egen planet.

Det var inte lite pengar det! Enligt dollartimes så motsvarar det cirka 440,000 dollar i dagsläget.
$100,000.00 in 1975 had the same buying power as $449,034.68 in 2014.
Annual inflation over this period was 3.93%.

Citat:
The National Enquirer tabloid newspaper, which had a long-standing $100,000 prize offered for proof that UFOs were extraterrestrial. The Enquirer advised the Waltons that if they could pass a lie detector test, they might qualify for a large payment. Travis and Duane were not very keen on this idea, so the Enquirer agreed to keep the results secret should they not pass. The Waltons agreed. The Enquirer engaged an examiner named McCarthy, who, unfortunately, described Travis and Duane's results as "the plainest case of lying he had seen in 20 years." Duane was heard shouting that "he'd kill the son of a bitch." As agreed, the Enquirer did not publish the failed examination.
