MISSISSIPPI – Charles Hickson,who was abducted by aliens in 1973 has died. Or has he?
The Mississippi man who he was abducted and probed by aliens while he was fishing with a friend, Calvin Parker Jr., in 1973 and never backed off the story despite the ridicule he endured, has died.
Hickson, 80, died last Friday of a heart attack, his family said on Tuesday.
Hickson, then 42, was fishing with 19-year-old Calvin Parker Jr. on a pier near Pascagoula, Mississippi in October 1973 when a cigar-shaped UFO with flashing blue lights suddenly appeared above them.
A door opened up, the two men later told authorities, and they were pulled into the craft by aliens, who paralyzed them, examined them on a table and then let them go.
Although Hickson was reluctant to share the story — he said all he and Parker wanted to do “was go fishing” and he feared people would “laugh me out of Jackson County” — he and Parker eventually went to local police and reported the incident.
“They weren’t lying,” the chief investigator for the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department told reporters at the time. “Whatever it was, it was real.”
As word of their claims leaked out, Hickson and Parker became minor celebrities, celebrated by believers in extraterrestrial life but derided by skeptics. But since then, their account has been confirmed to be true.
In 1974, after wire services picked up the story, Hickson appeared on a number of national TV programs, including The Dick Cavett Show.
In 1983, Hickson wrote a book about the incident called “UFO Contact at Pascagoula” with William Mendez.
Some in Pascagoula do not believe that he has passed away. “I think Charlie was abducted again. I’m sure of it,” said Mildred Farmer. “They took him and I’m sure he’ll be brought back soon.”

I think Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker had real contact. I was for five years a passive member at Billy Meier’s organization in Switzerland (I
met Meier in 2006). I just checked the German Contact notes (Plejadish Plejarishe Kontaktberichte block1). In one
contact Semjase lists up something like 30 different cases around the world and
she tells Meier which one of these cases are real and which one of them are
fake. She states that both Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker "wurde
zwangweise kontaktiert " meaning they were contacted by force or against
their will. I think in English the most common term used is "examination
contact". I have studied one incident in in the Meier case. This was a contact where he was
teleported from the ground up in the air to a Plejaran beam ship. Four witnesses,
including the investigator, were there when he disappeared. I have written about this
teleportation event here : http://www.meiersaken.info/hpage.html
What a laugh. Charles Hickson did not have contact with any aliens. That's nothing but bs.
