Episode 83 - Pascagoula Aliens

The autumn of 1973 saw a wave of UFO sightings across the country, but especially in the south. While many of those sightings were mere lights in the sky, some were much more. One in particular stands out among the rest. On a warm October evening in Pascagoula, Mississippi, Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker were fishing on the Pascagoula River when they were interrupted by a strange light. At first, they thought the police had come to chase them off the run-down property. What followed would come to be known as the Pascagoula Incident and stands as one of the most widely publicized alien abduction stories since the Barney and Betty Hill story came out less than a decade before. Since then, several witnesses have come forward to corroborate Charlie and Calvin’s story including a local sheriff who secretly recorded the men and their tale.Great UFO Wave of 1973 – Nashville SceneCoyne Incident Over Charles Mill Lake – Ashland SourceThe Case of Ohio’s Best Documented UFO – Ohio MagPascagoula 73: The Ballad of Charlie Hickson’s Abduction – Available on AmazonHynek’s Close Encounters ScaleThe Secret Tape Recorded by Pascagoula Sherriff’s OfficeBook: UFO Contact at Pascagoula by Charles Hickson and William MendezBook: Pascagoula – The Closest Encounter: My Story by Calvin ParkerAlien Contact: The Pascagoula Story (2020)Netflix - Files of the Unexplained: Pascagoula Alien AbductionSend us Fan MailIf you have an experience, story, or anything else you'd like to share with us, you can email us at [email protected]   You can also follow us on Instagram,  Join our Facebook group :  Ope, A Ghost, or Follow us on YoutubeToodles!
