• Calvin Parker of Moss Point (pictured above), Mississippi was with his older friend, Charles Hickson, fishing from a bank of the Pascagoula River on the night of Oct. 11, 1973, when they were abducted by aliens. The two said they were levitated by the aliens into a football-shaped craft, examined and then released. They reported the incident to the Sheriff’s Office and they both passed sobriety tests as well as polygraph tests. And they both maintained their story their entire lives.
• Parker describes the UAP Task Force UFO report released by the Pentagon and the Director of National Intelligence on June 25th as ‘too little, too late’. The preliminary report relates a number of credible sightings of UFOs travelling at considerable speed and demonstrating advanced flight characteristics, without discernible means of propulsion. But the government offers no answers. It even leaves open the possibility of extraterrestrial technology or origins by the use of a catch-all category of “other”.
• “I don’t believe they’re being straight up,” said Parker. “The Department of Defense could come a little cleaner about what they’ve got. I just really believe there’s more out there than what they’re saying.” “They’re just trying to satisfy everybody by telling them just a little bit….They [don’t] want to cause a panic.”
• Parker, who’s 67 and battling health issues, said he hopes more information is released that will shed light on what he and Hickson said happened them, but he’s not sure if it will. “I wish they’d tell us so I can go to my grave knowing what they know,” Parker said. “I’d just like to have some kind of answer before I die and that’s not a long ways away. But I don’t think we’re going to get it from Congress or the Department of Defense.”
• Rosey Nail of Moss Point was hundreds of miles away from Pascagoula the night Hickson and Parker were abducted, but said she also witnessed something that was not from this world that night. In the town of Bruce, Mississippi, Nail saw a light moving across the sky. It separated into two lights. One orb moved closer to her and became as large as the sun and began changing colors. It then rejoined the other object and shot out of sight. “It was other-worldly,” said Nail. “It was purposeful …It maneuvered. It went up and down and it went sideways and it shot up in the sky.”
• And regarding the government’s UFO report, Nail ruled out the military of any country. “I think with technology advances, they would know if it was from other countries. Whatever the truth is, I think we should know about it.”
• Maria Blair and her late husband Jerry Blair of Theodore, Alabama, were on the opposite side of the Pascagoula River from Hickson and Parker on the night of October 11, 1973. The two said they watched a blue light move across the sky and hover before it landed about 150-200 yards away. Jerry was waiting for a boat to pick him up to take him to his job offshore and paid little attention to the light. When the boat arrived, Maria said she heard a splash in the water as she walked down the pier. She looked down and saw what looked like a person in a wetsuit in the water. After she heard Parker’s description of the aliens he said he was abducted by, it matched what she saw.
• After watching television newscasts on the UFO report, Maria Blair realized that the government wasn’t going to offer alien lifeforms as a possible explanation. She believes government officials are withholding information. “Ever since that night in 1973, the world knows we’re not alone,” Maria said. “The government knows we’re not alone. These humanoids are not from other countries. They’re so more advanced than us. I’ve never gotten over what I saw that night. These humanoids are not from this Earth.”
An anticipated preliminary report from the federal government was recently released
on UFOs encountered by military personnel dating back to 2004, and its contents, or lack thereof, has some Mississippians upset.
While the report doesn’t deny some may be extraterrestrial lifeforms traveling to Earth, it doesn’t offer that as a possible explanation, either.
“I don’t believe they’re being straight up,” Calvin Parker of Moss Point said. “The Department of Defense could come a little cleaner about what they’ve got. I just really believe there’s more out there than what they’re saying.”
Parker was a part of one of history’s most famous UFO cases. He, along with now-deceased Charles Hickson, claimed they were abducted by aliens the night of Oct. 11, 1973, while fishing from a bank of the Pascagoula River. The two said they were
levitated by aliens into a football-shaped craft, examined and then released.
The two contacted the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and reported the incident. According to Parker, the two passed sobriety tests as well as polygraph tests. Parker said he also passed a voice stress test.
Parker remained largely quiet about the event until he wrote a book in 2018 giving his account of what happened and later a second book.
US GOVERNMENT UFO REPORT
The report was released to the public on June 25 by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and refers to UFOs as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. In Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, the Pentagon’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force gives an overview of 144 observations by U.S. government sources.
One object was determined to be a partially deflated balloon and 80 of the
observations involved multiple sensors. In a handful of cases, advanced technology appeared to have been demonstrated.
“In 18 incidents, described in 21 reports, observers reported unusual UAP movement patterns or flight characteristics,” the report stated. “Some UAP appeared to remain stationary in winds aloft, move against the wind, maneuver abruptly, or move at considerable speed, without discernible means of propulsion. In a small number of cases, military aircraft systems processed radio frequency (RF) energy associated with UAP sightings.”
The report indicated the observations could likely be explained by five possible things: airborne clutter, natural atmospheric phenomena, U.S. government or industry developmental programs, foreign adversary systems, and a catchall “other” bin — but no mention of extraterrestrial crafts.
Parker said the investigations and report are too little, too late.
