Astonishing Legends, we'd like to thank Quince, Car Gurus, Mint Mobile,

our contributors at patreon.com, and you, our listeners, for making tonight's show possible.

In part one of our series of the Pascagoula abduction, we discussed the night that forever

changed the lives of Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker.

At first glance, some investigators will lean on the bridge tenter just down the river who

said he didn't see anything at all.

But they might be leaning a little too hard on that, because it turns out what happened to Hickson and Parker didn't occur in a vacuum, as so many close encounters do.

The ripples of it spread far beyond the banks of the Pascagoula River, reaching out thousands of miles in every direction and half a century in time.

It turns out there were far more eyewitnesses that night than anyone realized.

There was the crane operator working late at the shipyard,

and the woman putting her children to bed in her home close by.

Even cousins, unknown to one another, saw lights near the area that night,

each with their own

fragmented piece of the puzzle. But there's another account, one that has

remained hidden for decades. A husband and wife, Jerry and Maria Blair, were

waiting on a pier across the river for a captain to show up so Jerry could go aboard a

vessel for offshore work.

It turns out the Blairs also witnessed something that night.

What exactly they saw and the decades-long pact Jerry made with those beings is a story more bizarre than Hickson and Parker's.

Tonight we delve deeper into the Pascagoula abduction. We'll

explore suppressed memories, the caveats that come with those, and the lingering questions.
