PASCAGOULA UFO LANDING SPOT - Pascagoula, Mississippi. - The very spot where on the early morning of October 11, 1973 two shipyard workers fishing at this location on the banks of the Pascagoula River (Charles Hickson, 42, and Calvin Parker, 19) claimed to have witnessed a large, hovering, metallic UFO “land” and from which several 5 foot-tall, antennaed, wrinkle-skinned “robotic” creatures with gripping “claw-like” appendages appeared to float out of to seize and abduct the “dazed” fishermen for medical examination. This world famous alien abduction case - which was investigated by renowned UFO researcher Dr. J Allen Hynek and reported on by esteemed news anchor Walter Cronkite - is considered to be one of the best Close Encounters of the Third Kind events in UFO history.

1973 UFO ABDUCTION AT PASCAGOULA - Pascagoula, Mississippi. - On the early morning of October 11, 1973 two shipyard workers – Charles Hickson, 42, and Calvin Parker, 19, – were fishing at this location on the banks of the Pascagoula River when a large, glowing, buzzing, hovering, metallic “craft” appeared behind them. Three, 5 foot-tall, antennaed, wrinkle-skinned “robotic” creatures with gripping “claw-like” appendages were then seen to float out of the Other-Worldly UFO towards the terrified men. The strange beings seized the “dazed” fishermen and floated them into the illuminated craft. On board, the semi-conscious pair underwent a brief medical examination (by an alien “eye-like” device) before being released back onto the bank by the occupants. The craft then zipped away into the night sky leaving the confused abductees alone in the early morning dark. Coming to their senses, the panicked men debated telling their story at all, but then decided to contact the police and the military. The resulting investigations, by law enforcement and UFO investigators, gained the attention of the national and international press which resulted in a media frenzy. Walter Cronkite reported on this story to the nation on the CBS Evening News. Famed Ufologist Dr. J. Allen Hynek investigated the case. The seemingly sincere testimony of the witnesses – along with a secret police recording of a private conversation between the two – have led many to support Hickson and Parker’s claims. This famous alien abduction case is considered to be one of the best Close Encounters of the Third Kind in UFO history.

HICKSON-PARKER: PASCAGOULA CLOSE ENCOUNTER SITE - The Pascagoula River at Pascagoula, Mississippi: the location of the famous "high strangeness" Hickson-Parker Close Encounter. On the early morning of October 11, 1973 two shipyard workers – Charles Hickson, 42, and Calvin Parker, 19, – were fishing on the banks of the Pascagoula River when a large, hovering, metallic craft appeared behind them. Three bizarre creatures (five foot-tall humanoids with grayish wrinkled skin, featureless faces with "carrot-like antenna" appendages, hands that resembled "lobster claws," and "fused" legs) floated out of the UFO and pulled the pair into the illuminated craft - where the dazed men underwent a medical examination before being released back onto the bank. The alien craft then ascended into the night sky and disappeared. After Hickson and Parker contacted authorities with their strange abduction account, the resulting investigation - by law enforcement and UFO investigators (including Dr. J. Allen Hynek) - gained the attention of the national and international press and resulted in a sensational worldwide media frenzy. This famous alien abduction case is considered to be one of the best Close Encounters of the Third Kind in UFO history.

THE SOUNDSIDE DRIVE UFO - Gulf Breeze, Florida.

THE GULF BREEZE UFO ENCOUNTERS: MASS SIGHTINGS AT SHORELINE PARK - Throughout much of the 1990s, the town of Gulf Breeze, Florida was considered to be "The UFO Capitol of the World." Made famous as a result of the media frenzy surrounding local contactee Ed Walters' UFO sightings and photographs from the late 80s, Gulf Breeze was accepted as "UFO Central" by researchers and sensational journalists alike. But these titles were not given just because of the Walters Encounters, but also due to the fact he was not the only one seeing strange things in the skies. Dozens of sightings of unknown objects in the area fueled amateur skywatches and investigative efforts which brought even more reported encounters and hundreds of alleged sightings. Seemingly, everyone was seeing UFOs around Gulf Breeze. One of the more popular locations for nighttime aerial observation throughout the decade was on the beaches of Gulf Breeze's Shoreline Park. Hundreds of reported encounters are said to have taken place at this location during the Gulf Breeze Wave - with many photographs and videos taken as supportive evidence. Some of the encounters consisted of large groups of witnesses having mass sightings of objects. Whether the observed unknowns were the result of misidentifications, hysterics, or visiting extraterrestrial craft, all agree that - for a time - this spot was the place to be to explore the enigmatic UFO mystery.
