On October 11, 1973 in Pascagoula, Mississippi, on a night on a river bank three normal individuals claimed to come face to face with a number of alien beings.
The three individuals in question were a then 19-year-old Calvin Parker, 42-year-old Charles Hickson and Maria Blair – who watched the events unfold from the other side of the river.
The men claimed at the west of the bank of the Pascagoula River on the fateful day they saw two blue flashing lights and observed two mysterious oval shaped objects approaching them.
The two men claim they were taken aboard the flying objects and examined by extra-terrestrial beings. Hickson claimed the three other-worldly beings which had leathery grey skin and crab-like claws appeared in front of the men.
At first he thought they were robots as the beings took them by the forearms and levitated them aboard the craft. He said once aboard the craft something that looked like a large floating eye appeared to examine him.
The men claimed that in the alien’s examination of the body: “They gave a thorough, I mean a thorough, examination to me just like any doctor would.”
On the experience Calvin Parker claimed: “It completely changed my life.
“It's just a deal in life that happens and you don't have any control over it. Maybe if I was a little older I would've handled it better, but I wasn't, and I didn't."
At one point, he wasn't even sure the creatures were aliens. "They might have been demons." He said: "I'm a firm believer in God and where there's good, there's bad,"
After the encounter Hickson, then 42, claimed he needed three shots of liquor from a bottle in his car to calm his nerves before deciding to report what happened to the police.
Initially in the years following the alleged encounter Parker changed jobs and relocated to other towns.
During this time of his life he didn’t want to speak about the encounter due to fears of being ridiculed. However years later Parker’s wife Waynette urged her partner to write a book to set the record straight.
The Pascagoula – The Closest Encounter was published in 2018 and prompted others with extra-terrestrial experiences to come forward saying they saw objects in the sky that night that couldn't be explained.
To chronicle the events of the alleged abduction throughout their lives and battling whether to expose their story to the world.
Amazon Prime has produced a 4 part documentary series of the alleged abdication in Pascagoula in 1973.
