Source: Local Law Enforcement Interview
There is no official line-for-line textual transcript of the original interview between police and Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker following the 1973 Pascagoula incident. However, the foundational details of their statements to law enforcement are well documented.On October 11, 1973, shipyard workers Charles Hickson (42) and Calvin Parker (19) rushed to the Jackson County Sheriff's Department in Pascagoula, Mississippi, claiming they had been taken aboard an extraterrestrial craft. Skeptical of their claims, officers left the two men alone in a private room with a hidden recording device. To the police's surprise, the secretly recorded audio captured the men in a state of genuine terror, earnestly discussing the harrowing events without any indication of a hoax.The primary details they described in these initial interviews include:The Encounter: While fishing off the west bank of the Pascagoula River, the men heard a whirring/whizzing sound and saw flashes of blue light. An oval-shaped object emerged, hovering above the water.The Beings: Three creatures glided out of the craft, described as having grey, wrinkled, elephant-like skin, bullet-shaped heads, slit mouths, and crab-like pincers.The Examination: Completely paralyzed but fully conscious, the men were taken aboard. Parker was placed on a floating table and examined by a small, rotating blue box.Aftermath: After the event, they were released and dropped back on the riverbank before driving straight to the police station.Original recordings of the hidden police interrogation have surfaced online and in news archives in recent years.
