'I floated inside': Man returns to site of 1973 UFO 'abduction' as it gets a historical marker
What is certain about the night of Oct. 11, 1973, is this: When Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker Jr. arrived at the sheriff's department in Pascagoula, Mississippi, they were frantic. They told authorities they had just been abducted by aliens. Each had a puncture wound in one arm. Police tried to catch them in a lie, but it didn't work. Both men later passed polygraph tests.
On Saturday, the river bank where the men said the close encounter happened got a historical marker, calling it one of the "best documented" cases of alien abduction. After decades of avoiding media attention, Parker was there for the dedication. Hickson died in 2011.
In 1973, Hickson was Parker's foreman at a shipyard. The two had gone fishing after work at an abandoned boat launch and were still there after the sun went down.
"I was just getting ready to get some more bait," Hickson told The Washington Post in 1975, "when I heard a kind of zipping sound. I looked up and saw a blue flashing light. Calvin turned around too. We saw a 30-foot-long object with a little dome on top."
