Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on February 10, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Travis Walton! Here's hoping your special day is truly out of this world—though perhaps not quite as literally as that unforgettable five-day cosmic vacation you took back in 1975. Your legendary encounter has inspired countless stories, documentaries, and late-night campfire tales; clearly, aliens have impeccable taste when choosing their earthly ambassadors.

In all seriousness though, your courage to share such an extraordinary experience continues to captivate imaginations worldwide. May this year bring you plenty of joy—and fewer unexpected intergalactic detours. Keep shining bright (but maybe steer clear of mysterious beams of light). Cheers to another stellar trip around the sun!
