Summary

Now with better audio and fewer ads: On the evening of October 11, 1973, co-workers 42-year-old Charles Hickson and 19-year-old Calvin Parker told the Jackson County, Mississippi Sheriff's office they were fishing off a pier on the west bank of the Pascagoula River in Mississippi when they heard a whirring/whizzing sound, and saw two flashing blue lights and an oval shaped object 30–40 feet across and 8–10 feet high. Parker and Hickson claimed that they were "conscious but paralyzed" while three "creatures" took them aboard the object and subjected them to an examination before releasing them. Gene and Randall presented Calvin Parker to discuss this experience and another, 20 years later, as told in his book, "Pascagoula — The Closest Encounter: My Story." After fighting a long illness, Parker died on August 24, 2023 at the age of 68.

0:40.3	I guess didn't do quite as well as I might have helped before the show started
0:46.3	because I think people kind of sort of expected a different kind of program.
0:51.3	What do you think, Randall?
0:53.3	Yeah, it was kind of a surprise to me how it went as well.
0:58.0	And it was pretty difficult for me to relate to it because I think so differently about religion and vampires.
1:07.0	And it's right out there in the fringe for me.
1:10.0	But Doug was taking it pretty seriously.
1:12.7	Given everything that we had to work with, we did a pretty good job for people who are
1:19.1	saying maybe getting a little tired of just the, you know, the same UFO stuff all the time.
1:24.3	Well, this week we have the same UFO stuff.
1:27.3	But we've got somebody this week who's been
1:31.0	around for a while and was, I guess, became almost a celebrity or something back on October 11,
1:40.2	1973. And before I introduced Calvin Parker to us, Randall, you were a young whippersnapper
1:48.5	in 1973. Where were you? I was out in BC, actually, living in Windermere. And I was just going to
2:00.6	school. I was hanging out with my friends. And I was just going to school.
2:01.1	I was hanging out with my friends and that was about it.
2:05.7	I remember the story being on the news.
