But where "Fire in the Sky" differs is that it's based on a true story whereas the previously mentioned movies were works of fiction.
"Fire in the Sky" tells the story of a group of loggers who witness an alien abduction and one of their members (played by D.B. Sweeney) is supposedly taken captive on an alien spacecraft where he is subject to their experiments.
"Fire in the Sky" is certainly not a bad movie, but where it falls short is that it was marketed as an "alien" movie, without many appearances by actual aliens.

`Fire in the Sky" tells another one of those stories about an innocent human victim who is abducted into an alien spacecraft and subjected to bizarre medical experiments before being dumped back on Earth.
Interview God." In the case of "Fire in the Sky," my advice to the filmmakers would be, forget the five pals and their problems, and spend more time with Travis Walton inside the spaceship.
I have a hunch that their answer might be, "Gee, sorry, but this is based on a true story, after all, and that's all that poor Travis was able to remember." It's at times like this you wish a guy like Considine had been sucked into the orange.

 Fire in the sky | Life | Guardian Unlimited
For about a month between June 23 and July 20, English skies were thick with a "peculiar haze" or "smoky fog" while terrible lightning storms left people cowering in their homes.
As the cloud settled over England, many began to fear that the end was nigh, with apocalyptic fervour climaxing on August 18 when a huge meteorite - then still something of mystery to science - was logged by observers from Sheffield to Canterbury before exploding spectacularly over the English Channel.
An 11-year-old Oxfordshire boy named Luke Howard was inspired by the extraordinary cloud to start studying ordinary ones, and as an adult he would give them the names by which they are still known today.

Lily, the daughter of Nathaniel and Elizabeth Bonner, is the focus of "Fire," although cousin Jennet from Scotland, and Hannah (Nathaniel's daughter from his first marriage to an Indian woman) are not shortchanged.
Lily has been hiding a secret, or so she believes: she thinks she is in love with a man married to a childhood friend, yet she finds herself attracted to Simon Ballentyne, the business partner of her half-brother Luke.

FIRE IN THE SKY is the comprehensive story of a logger named Travis Walton who mysteriously disappears in 1975 only to turn up bloodied and bruised five days later.
Fire in the Sky is one of the most memorable films of the nineties for me, It had it all, compelling characters, the right pacing for a thriller, and quite possibly the scariest conclusion one could hope for.
Another note, the film is suposedly based on a real story, and the story does pout forward arguments that leave the viewer wonderung weather it could have been possible, since it presents all the possible sides.
