| 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.
