MTAS Episode Summary: The Pascagoula Alien Abduction
Two men. One riverbank. Zero explanation. In this gripping episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, we head to Pascagoula, Mississippi, where Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker claimed they were abducted by otherworldly beings while fishing on an ordinary October night in 1973. What followed was a bizarre tale of paralysis, levitation, and strange robotic creatures that would launch one of the most chilling alien abduction cases in U.S. history.
Neal and Andrew unravel the eerie details of the encounter, play the haunting Hickson tapes, and explore how the incident became both a media storm and a cultural touchstone. Along the way, the episode dives into Alien News & Entertainment, including sightings in New York, updates from the Mars Rover, the mysterious Tic Tac UFOs, and a celebrity UFO experience from singer Kacy Musgraves. And in celebration of National Alien Abduction Day, we ask: Are we any closer to the truth—or just deeper in the mystery?
As always, we close with our verdict: Was the Pascagoula event a mostly true alien story, or just a well-timed fish tale that reeled in global attention?
