In this episode of "Mysteries of UFOs," we explore the Pascagoula Abduction, one of the most chilling alien abduction cases in history. On October 11, 1973, two fishermen, Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker, were night fishing on the Pascagoula River in Mississippi when they encountered a strange, glowing craft. Three humanoid beings with claw-like hands allegedly abducted them, subjected them to a bizarre medical examination, and then returned them unharmed.
Their terrified report to the local sheriff led to an investigation that even involved UFO researcher Dr. J. Allen Hynek. Despite skepticism and theories of hallucination or a hoax, both men passed polygraph tests, and their fear seemed genuine. Decades later, additional witnesses came forward, claiming they saw an unusual craft that night.
Was this a real extraterrestrial encounter, or is there another explanation? The Pascagoula Abduction remains one of the most well-documented and debated UFO cases in history.
