The Pascagoula UFO/Abduction Incident

It was Oct. 11, 1973, when Calvin Parker and Charles Hickson went fishing on the banks of the Pascagoula River in Mississippi.

At first, when Parker saw blue lights reflected on the water, he thought police had come to tell the two to leave.

“A big light came out of the clouds,” Parker recalled. “It was a blinding light. It was hard to tell with the lights so bright, but it looked like it was shaped like a football. I would say, just estimating, it was about 80-feet. It made very little sound. It was just a hissing noise.”

Parker then claimed three legless creatures floated out of the vessel toward him. He described all three as having mitten-shaped claws, neckless and gray, and one appearing to be more feminine.

When one of the creatures reached out as though to put it's claws around Parker’s neck, his natural response of fear oddly disappeared. “I think they injected us with something to calm us. I was kind of numb and went along with the program.”

Parker alleged that he and Hickson were taken aboard the alien vessel and experimented on, then the two terrified fishermen found themselves back on the riverbank as though nothing had happened.

They drove to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and told Captain Glenn Ryder and Sheriff Fred Diamond what had happened.

“When I got in there they had me,” Hickson told the police. “There were no seats, no chain, they just moved me around. I couldn’t resist them. I just floated, felt no sensation, no pain. They kept me in that position a little while, then they’d raise me back up.”

Hickson claimed that a machine resembling a giant eye looked over his entire body. He said he was surrounded by inhuman, five-foot tall monopedal beings.

Capt. Ryder didn’t believe the two men. He stepped out of the interrogation room but left a secret recording device running in hopes of obtaining proof that their alien stories were fabricated.

But what Ryder later heard on the recording made him think twice: “Jesus Christ, God have mercy, I thought I’d been through enough of Hell on this earth and now I’ve got to go through something like this,” Hickson could be heard saying to Parker. “But they could have, you know, I guess they, well, they could have harmed us, son. They had use. They could have done anything to us.” Parker added, “I just want to cry right now. What’s so damn bad about it is nobody’s going to believe us.”

But with no physical evidence, the Calvin Parker and Charles Hickson UFO and alien abduction story still remains a mystery.

Calvin Parker stayed quiet about the incident for decades, but after Hickson’s death in 2011, he wrote a book which was published in 2018 entitled Pascagoula - The Closest Encounter: My Story.

The book prompted others to come forward claiming they, too, had seen a UFO that night.

Calvin Parker would later say, “It makes me feel pretty good knowing I’m not the only one who saw something.”
