🛸 What Happened?

As they were fishing around 9 p.m., they claimed to have seen a glowing blue object hovering above the ground, making a faint buzzing or hissing sound. Suddenly, a door opened, and three strange beings floated out of the craft.

These beings were described as:

About 5 feet tall

Pale grey in color

Had no eyes (just slits or indentations)

Had claw-like hands

Had pointed ears or carrot-like protrusions

👽 The Abduction

According to Hickson and Parker:

The creatures levitated them into the UFO.

Inside, Parker said he passed out.

Hickson claimed he was examined by a robotic eye.

After about 20 minutes, they were released and found themselves back on the riverbank.

🕵️ The Aftermath

The two men went straight to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, terrified. The sheriff didn’t believe them at first, so he secretly recorded them in a private room. The tape showed them genuinely frightened, not acting.

The story went public and made national headlines. Skeptics dismissed it, but the two men stuck to their story for decades.

🎙️ Later Years

Calvin Parker remained mostly quiet for years, later writing a book in 2018.

Charles Hickson gave many interviews before his death in 2011.

In recent years, new witnesses have come forward claiming they saw unusual lights in the sky that night.
