October 11th marks the 51st anniversary of the Pascagoula UFO/Abduction incident involving Calvin Parker and Charles Hickson. This has been an important case for many years.
According to their account, they saw a strange, oval-shaped craft hovering above them and emitting a glowing blue light. Then they claim three humanoid creatures emerged from the craft who took them aboard. The aliens reportedly conducted medical examinations on them before releasing them. Hickson and Parker went to the local authorities and reported the incident, which garnered widespread media attention and sparked a national debate about the existence of extraterrestrial life. The two men underwent hypnosis and polygraph tests, which supported their claims of abduction.
A well known and interesting aspect of this case is that while at the sheriff’s station reporting their incident, the Sheriff hid a tape recorder and left the men alone. He was hoping to catch them in a lie. However, the recording captured the two men discussing the incident in a sincere and consistent manner, leading the sheriff to believe that they were telling the truth about their experience.
I recently found an interesting documentary on Youtube, made not by a filmmaker, but one of the 1st hand witnesses of the UFO that night. I thought it was very interesting, as he had Calvin Parker recount his recollections first hand of what happened that night, and was also able to locate other witnesses who saw a UFO right in that area on that same night. Additionally he was able to obtain some recordings of Calvin Parker recounting the abduction as well which are quite compelling.
