Was Walton’s Abduction Due To A Fugue State?

In a recent interview with psychologist Nigel Watson, it was suggested that the Travis Walton abduction experience could have been the result of him entering a fugue state for several days, during which time his mind manufactured most of the experience. It sounds far fetched at first, but if Walton was honestly relaying the experience as he perceived it, then this could explain it without having to invoke either a deliberate hoax or aliens. It’s an interesting alternative to the usual hoax versus it really happened type of debate.
