On October 11, 1973, Charlie Hickson and Calvin Parker were fishing on the Pascagoula River after a long shift at the shipyard. Everything was going smoothly, until suddenly, they both heard a “zipping” noise behind them and saw bright blue lights. They turned around and saw some sort of craft hovering about the ground. Then, three beings came out of the craft and grabbed each man by the arm and brought them on their spaceship. The two men were then separated and put in different rooms where they were scanned by different devices. They were both unable to move as if these beings had paralyzed them. Then, the beings took the men off their ship and placed them back where they had found them.

Charlie and Calvin didn’t know what to do. At first, they agreed to not tell anyone what had happened to them. However, when they started driving away, Charlie thought of his family and worried that maybe these beings were coming back to attack. He decided he had to tell the authorities. So Charlie and Calvin went to the police station to give a statement. The police didn’t believe them at first, but after leaving the two men in a room with a hidden recording device and listening to their conversation when they thought no one could hear them, the police definitely believed them.

Charlie and Calvin were both traumatized by this event, but Calvin even more so than Charlie. This haunted him for years and years. It took him 18 years before he finally opened up to his wife about this experience. After this, he felt stronger and more prepared to share his stories with others as well.

Both men have passed away, but they both stuck to the same story until the day they died. So what do you think? Was this some shared hallucination or were they abducted by aliens?
