The report
On October 11, 1973, Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker, two shipyard workers in Pascagoula, Mississippi, claimed to have been abducted by an alien craft while fishing on the banks of the Pascagoula River. The men described the craft as having a glowing blue light, and the beings inside as robotic in nature. The incident was widely covered in the media, and the men passed lie detector tests about their experience. Despite skepticism from some experts, the Pascagoula abduction remains one of the most well-known UFO cases in the United States.
