| The Pascagoula Incident involved two men, nineteen-year-old Calvin
Parker and forty-two-year old Charles Hickson, both of Gautier, Mississippi,
who were fishing in the Pascagoula River when they heard a buzzing noise
behind them. Both turned and were terrified to see a ten-foot-wide, eight-foot-high,
glowing egg-shaped object with blue lights at its front hovering just
above the ground about forty feet from the river bank. As the men, frozen
with fright, watched, a door appeared in the object, and three strange
Beings floated just above the river towards them.
The Beings had legs but did not use them. They were about five feet
tall, had bullet-shaped heads without necks, slits for mouths, and where
their noses or ears would be, they had thin, conical objects sticking
out, like carrots from a snowman's head. They had no eyes, grey, wrinkled
skin, round feet, and claw like hands.
Two of the beings seized Hickson; when the third grabbed Parker, the
teenager fainted with fright. Hickson claimed that when the Beings placed
their hands under his arms, his body became numb, and that then they floated
him into a brightly lit room in the UFO's interior, where he was subjected
to a medical examination with an eyelike device which, like Hickson himself,
was floating in mid-air.
At the end of the examination, the Beings simply left Hickson floating,
paralyzed but for his eyes, and went to examine Parker, who, Hickson believed
was in another room. Twenty minutes after Hickson had first observed the
UFO, he was floated back outside and released. He found Parker weeping
and praying on the ground near him. Moments later, the object rose straight
up and shot out of site.
Expecting only ridicule if they were to tell anyone what had happened,
Hickson and Parker initially decided to keep quiet; but then, because
the government might want, or ought, to know about it, they telephoned
Kessler Air Force Base in Biloxi. A sergeant there told them to contact
the sheriff. But uncertain about the reception their bizarre story might
get from the local law, they drove to the local newspaper office to speak
to a reporter. When they found the office closed, Hickson and Parker felt
they had no alternative but to talk to the sheriff.
