It was just short of 50 years ago when Parker and Charles Hickson claimed they were abducted and examined by aliens in a UFO and returned to the banks of the Pascagoula River that same night.The city now has a permanent reminder of the extraterrestrial tale. A memorial plaque describes the account and notes it is one of the best-documented cases of an alien abduction, with two witnesses.
“I was thinking, we’re fixing to go to jail, we’re trespassing, we’re on private property,” he said. “So I turned around and looked — and all of a sudden, a bright light hit us.”
