On October 11, 1973, two men, Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker, were fishing on the Pascagoula River in Mississippi when they claim to have been abducted by extraterrestrial beings. This shocking encounter has become one of the most well-documented and controversial alien abduction cases in history.

In this episode, we delve into the details of the Pascagoula abduction, examining the firsthand accounts of Hickson and Parker. We explore the events leading up to the encounter, the nature of the beings they encountered, and the physical and emotional effects the experience had on them.

Join us as we dissect the evidence, analyze the witness testimonies, and investigate the potential explanations for this extraordinary event. Did Hickson and Parker truly experience an alien abduction, or is there a more mundane explanation?
