On October 11, 1973, the then 19-year-old Calvin Parker and his friend, Charles Hickson, were fishing in Pascagoula River in MS. They were abducted by three humanoids, taken into a glowing craft. On board the alien ship, both were subjected to a physical examination, before being returned to the river bank. When the ship departed, they found a telephone and called the sheriff.

The next day, their encounter was national news which seemed to kick off the October 1973 wave of UFO sightings. Last year Parker told his story in detail for the first time including his regression sessions conducted by the late Budd Hopkins. Since publication of the book, other witnesses have been located and Parker has related additional past encounters with the aliens. His latest book is Pascagoula – The Story Continues.
