'It completely changed my life': Calvin Parker, MS man allegedly abducted by aliens, has died

Parker on alien abduction: 'It's just a deal in life that happens and you don't have any control over it. Maybe if I was a little older I would've handled it better, but I wasn't and I didn't.'

Calvin Parker of Moss Point, Mississippi, one of two men who claimed to have been abducted by aliens in Mississippi in 1973, has died following a life that was dictated by the alleged event.

"It completely changed my life," Parker told the Clarion Ledger on Nov. 7, 2022. "It's just a deal in life that happens and you don't have any control over it. Maybe if I was a little older I would've handled it better, but I wasn't, and I didn't."

Parker, who was 19 at the time, said he and coworker Charles Hickson were fishing from a pier on the Pascagoula River near Pascagoula on the night of Oct. 11, 1973, when he noticed blue light reflecting off the water. He said at first he thought it was coming from law enforcement officers coming to tell them to leave the property.

Then he looked up and saw a craft that he estimated was 80 feet long with blinding light coming from it. He said it was hovering and a hissing sound was coming from it. He described it as being football-shaped.

Parker avoided unwanted attention

Parker said the two were levitated into the craft by three aliens with hands like crab claws, examined by something that looked like a large eye and then returned to the river bank.

The two reported the incident to law enforcement and as the news spread around the world, their lives changed. Hickson, who died in 2011 at the age of 80, was very public about the incident. Parker, however, didn't embrace the attention.

UFO witnesses speak: 'The story is very true. That's what has bothered me for 45 years.'

In the years that followed, Parker said he changed jobs and relocated to other towns when people realized who he was. It was just something he didn't want to discuss.

Decades later, at the urging of his wife, Waynette, Parker wrote a book about the encounter to set the record straight.

Opening up about the night of Oct. 11, 1973

"I felt like everyone deserved an explanation," Parker told the Clarion Ledger in 2018. "Everyone has an expiration date and I wanted to get this out there before I die.

"I've had some near-death experiences and I'm in bad health. I just wanted to do it."

The book, Pascagoula — The Closest Encounter, prompted others to come forward saying they saw objects in the sky that night that couldn't be explained. Like Parker, many said they had been largely quiet about their sightings for 45 years due to fear of ridicule.

The rekindling of the story also met with favor in the city of Pascagoula. A historical marker was placed along the Pascagoula River and the city now celebrates the event with an annual alien festival in October.

While Parker spent much of his life running from that October night and the attention that came with it, months before his death he told the Clarion Ledger that in hindsight, his life was better for it in a way.

"Under the circumstances now, I'm kind of glad it did happen because I got to meet a lot of people I wouldn't have gotten to meet," he said.

Parker died Aug. 24. He was 68.

"He kept it secret even from his own family for over 40 years" is yet again proven to be a pile of balls started by certain money grubbing Ufologists.

Arthur C Clarke Unmasks The Truth Behind UFOs | Our World -Some Thoughts and notes

Arthur C. Clarke was not a UFO "debunker" despite Ufologists wanting to portray him as such. He was a sceptic who wanted to see the evidence and that is what scientists should do. Of course Clarke was seeing what most people saw and that included Flying Saucer review and when you look at the content of those publications it is not impressive -though there are good cases worth noting.   

UFO news was rather limited; organisations did not send Clarke reports that they thought would stump the sceptic instead they sent or offered to send their sightings catalogues or summaries which as I can testify were poor at best. 

At the time that Clarke introduced this series a lot of re-thinking was going on. He, like many others had been influenced by science fiction and it was believed that if aliens discovered humanity it would result in major landings in world capitol cities so everyone would see and know about it. 

However, there were others who were discussing how humans would react if they found a new alien civilisation. Spying on it from afar, the odd undercover landing to get samples and try to avoid any contact and, slowly, build toward a contact if we (1) had technical superiority and (2) the planet's inhabitants were not of an hostile nature. I hate to cite Star Trek but I will; Star Fleet with it's non interference and surveillance policy building up to First Contact when it was deemed the right time is how some scientists were thinking.

Humans are wiping out wildlife and the environment at an alarming rate despite having the knowledge that we are doing so. Humans are also killing each other by the thousands in wars, crime and for other 'reasons'.  Who would want open contact with a civilisation like that?  A civilisation that is already in a space race to fight over and claim mineral deposits on the planets and asteroids - would you give such a civilisation your home address and zip code?

Clarke was also unaware (to a degree) of stealth technology and how each power block -Soviet Union and United States was blocking each others space detectors and the claim that a pencil could be detected in space is somewhat odd when we have had several very large asteroids pass close-by and meteors hit Earth and no one knew they were coming. And they were a LOT bigger than a pencil. In a way those were more innocent times and we have to remember that "arch sceptic" (Ufologists claimed) Sir Bernard Lovell "laughed at" and "ridiculed" UFO reports. In fact, Lovell was looking for the evidence to back up the reports and when you consider that in the late 1990s Walt Andrus of MUFON was asked (by me) for the best 10 "solid" UFO cases for an official presentation he responded that he did not think that one case could be found that was solid evidence!

I have spent five decades looking at CE3K/AE reports and although there are very credible cases none of them is 100% solid or proof of extraterrestrial visitation. They are anecdotal evidence that provide a glimpse at possible visitors but what we really need is an item stolen by a percipient in a UFO encounter or even material from a UFO that appears to be undergoing maintenance or some quick repair. It needs to be made very clear: no fragment or part of a seemingly constructed non-terrestrial craft has ever been recovered and all that we have to date are con stories.

Looking at CE3K/AE reports takes you away from what might be constructed craft which leave us puzzled in many cases and let's us look at who or what may be operating them. Are there consistency in reports of this kind? Yes and I have listed some in my books. Some types it seems Ufologists have never noted because they do not treat seriously or even consider such reports.

I have no idea how or why they dismissed the debunkers claim that Robert Taylor had an epileptic seizure (probably due to the physical evidence) but some at the Ministry of Defence had seen a report on the Livingston Incident or Dechmont Woods Encounter West Lothian, Scotland in 1979.  The conclusion (private) was that this was a "very interesting incident" which raised my eye brows!  Debate over a case is something that should be welcomed but if you hear of an incident and your mind is already set on it being "explainable" then you lose your argument. I know people who have epilepsy and some are astronomers; they do not all go into seizure when they see Venus or any other astronomical object -the Moon is big and bright but we do not get a huge influx of reports epileptics collapsing in waves at a full Moon.

There is a fear of UFO (as in aliens who are superior to humans) being real amongst many and in science it is so obvious that it becomes embarrassing. Carl Sagan, Arthur C. Clarke and many others in the science community believed that it was possible that aliens visited Earth in the past but we really needed to find ancient alien artefacts to prove this. 

We live in a world where UFO fakers, 'ghost hunters' and cryptozoologists will fake and even distort the facts to their own ends. We know they have faked reports. 'Ghost hunters' like to dress all in black and go on "night hunts" in which if a floor board creaks or a piece of rubble in a derelict building is a sign that 'ghosts' or 'demons' are active and, yes, they do fake clips and the 'ghost' walking left to right or right to left is the biggest fraud and at the last count I had seen 95 such clips. Ghost hunt during the day when everything can be seen and adding to clips later is more difficult.

We look for evidence and if all we can get is anecdotal evidence then we will take that and build on it rather than decide a pinpoint of light in the night sky is an alien spacecraft when it is...a pinpoint of light.

Alien Entity -CE3K

CE3K/AEs and Why Ufology is NOT a Science and never will be.

 Let me be very clear about something as it is very important and shows why current and past Ufology was very -very- far from a "science" and why that will never change.

Firstly, while the flying saucer believers of the late 1940s and when they got more organised into clubs in the 1950s, accepted that things whizzing about the sky in daylight and at night were very likely from an extra-terrestrial source they were unwilling to listen to reports of landings and encounters.

With an exception: tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyed Venusians, Saturnians, Uranians and so on. The contactees were the ones spreading the st6ories of visiting "space brothers" and in many cases just reading the accounts showed that they really did not make much sense. There is a big clue in the descriptions of these "space brothers" as well as some of the books, papers and magazines from the 1950s and 1960s that looked down at the "lessers" like Jews and black people. It is no secret if you look into it that contactee organisations were run by right wing, white and quite racist people. It is interesting that those involved in flying saucer 'investigation' promoted these groups that were very unscientific.

There were people who genuinely believed that they had been in contact with space brothers and there were those who found that such accounts could be big earners. Money they found was more interesting than the truth.

Of course for flying saucer groups and the rapidly growing lecture circuit there was no better draw than a contactee and one of the biggest hoaxers was George Adamski who got to travel the world, treated like a celebrity and, of course, "not earning a penny" because this was all about spreading the words of our "space brothers".  George Adamski (who 100% was NOT a professor) managed to link up with Flying Saucer review editor Desmond Leslie who was not beyond adding the odd fictional story into FSR.  It was Leslie who backed up Adamski's claim of having no navel. Interesting as prior to one 1950s UK event Adamski had to change but with his back to one of the organisers -but the reflection from a mirror near Adamski showed that he did most definitely have a navel.

Leslie and Adamski wrote The Flying Saucers Have Landed in which many historical cases of meteorites, comets, etc suddenly become "manoeuvring disc shaped objects" and all of those reports can be checked at the source and I did so in 1980 and immediately binned the book as being useful for nothing.

Adamski is still hailed by many today in 'scientific' Ufology as genuine -some trying to be vague so as to provide themselves a "get out of gaol" clause "in case".  

Contactees were accepted as they pulled in the punters -paying bums on seats and that is what flying saucer and UFO groups wanted. Even in the late 1970s I was chastised at a meeting of the British Flying Saucer Bureau for "speaking ill of Mr. Adamski" while my interest in reports such as those of Betty and Barney Hill were dismissed as "silly stories" (in the Hills case of course it was a "mixed race" couple which offended a few even though both were quite human and no other unknown race was involved). At a talk I was invited to give at the BFSB I was interrupted several times by senior members with "But we know of course from Mr Adamski's account that" and "which is hard to accept as Mr Adamski quite clearly described those people (aliens) he met".

Ufology has always jumped on the band wagon that generates the most cash. Contactees then, as digital cameras emerged, "orbs" and "rods" -all naturally explainable but that type of thing made money and drew people in to talks. The paranormal and UFOs, Bigfoot and UFOs -all these emerging at times when TV or movies promoted paranormal programmes and Bigfoot documentaries.  The Spielberg movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind was a major money-spinner for UFO groups. 

Then things waned until Budd Hopkins introduced the false abduction scenario in the early 1980s and that took off. Money was raked in by all sides and then people wanting in on the cash flow started digging out "alien implants" and much more. Those people got in on the lecture circuit and TV gravy train. Every UFO sighting was an alien abduction of a human being no questio9ning allowed. Every pre 1980s CE3K/Entity case was then rebooted to involve "The Greys" including the account of the Hills. People observing a UFO landing and entities that lasted a couple of minutes -they looked at their watches or clocks- were dismissed unless they were willing to accept they had been abducted and undergo hypnosis.

Of course, when the decades of money from abductions started dwindling the 'researchers' sold off private percipient information and even MUFON sold such material (to Robert Bigelow) and big scandals that were washed over by those wanting to keep fat wallets full.

We know that in the United States NICAP (headed by a well known racist, Donald E. Keyhoe) was infiltrated by the CIA. In fact NICAP actively recruited ex intelligence people into top positions so the question is whether this was infiltration or taking over through invitation. Either way Keyhoe lost no money and still had book deals and TV work.

Look at how the USAF Office of Special Investigation and its main agent, Richard Doty, infiltrated Ufology. It bribed and gave William Moore false information to feed Ufology and it is also rumoured that among the other "prominent Ufologists" Doty gave false info to and also paid were Hopkins and Leonard H Stringfield who told a colleague of mine that his source was in the AFOSI.  Doty even helped drive one person, Paul Bennewitz insane. Doty was outed decades ago and was observed talking to Hopkins, David Jacobs and even Vallee at UFO conventions. Conventions where rather than being asked to leave or being a target of verbal abuse he is welcomed and given free reign  and allowed to "spill the beans" to those interested.

How is this all possible?  Because Ufology is not and never was a science although it did and does attract scientists to it based on data rather than a belief. Investigation by such scientists soon turn up the truth: the Vallee catalogue of UFO landings involve known hoaxes, weather phenomena and reports never investigated just taken from an odd news item. The Phillips Physical Trace Catalogue, from what can be found -ditto as with Vallee. Ufology itself has not turned out any truly scientific evidence in documents that can be peer reviewed by scientists. Scientists who do ask to see such material are asked "Paying by cheque or card?"

Again, and I have stated this in writing numerous times,  although anecdotal (anecdotal evidence is still acceptable to build up a data base) there are still highly rated CE3K events. Looking at my archive only around 2% of all the cases from 1947-2000 were looked into. Major incidents were ignored based on percipients/witnesses being black, single females and even "too far to travel" (within the state) -prejudices and almost a need to not want to believe that there might be living(?) entities in the objects they are supposed to be trying to get to the truth of and find answers -all play a part.  1973 saw a peak in reports and in one short space of time, around the date of the Pascagouls incident, encounters were ignored because those involved were black -the same investigators who flatly refused to look into these cases were willing to travel all across the state for a LITS (Light In The Sky) report when it came from a white person.

Another thing to note is that the UFO Wave is almost certainly a fiction. The 1954 UFO Wave was a mix of misidentifications, newspaper hoaxes and other factors. There were what appear to be genuine incidents but there were not "thousands of "genuine, investigated and documented UFO sightings".  Note; that some Italian and French investigators who did look into reports some 35, 40 and 50 years after the event, were quite angry that journalists had got details wrong. They were journalists out to sell newspapers not carry out scientific investigations...that was supposedly the Ufologists job?  Even today there are those who are in Ufology "intellectual elite" who openly state that they do all their investigations sat in a comfortable chair and by reading news items and based their findings on those.  Why has Ufology not proven UFO reality?  

The 1973 "World wide UFO wave" can be seen as per 1954. In fact, a peak(s) in CE3K incidents do not occur in those years but, of course, Ufologists do not notice this obvious fact because there are only the Hills, Walton, Pascagoula CE3Ks...right?  All of this means that UFOs are not flying across the sky by the thousands each year but are rarer than is thought -Ufology has created a myth that it pushes as factual such as Thomas Mantell having been shot down while fling a jet by a UFO. Never happened. Roswell and the 65 UFO crashes that I listed before giving up -never happened.

https://terryhooper.blogspot.com/2022/12/check-facts-do-not-be-deceived.html

And we know that British Ufologists from the 1970s on faked UFO incidents -sightings and encounters- and were caught out at a UFO conference. No push-back from Ufology and they have never stated which reports were faked or for what reason meaning that from the 1970s on all UFO reports are marked as "dubious" unless personally investigated.

Fraudsters are running Ufology and people have no problem with that. Why hear the truth when fantasy is more Dr Who or X Files orientated and fun?  Look at the 'genuine' interest in these reports -my books do not sell because they are not sensationalist lies. The UFO history series of books Haunted Skies I cannot recommend enough but sales are hardly there. Why? Because they are not published in an era where people want to learn and educate themselves with facts.

I have spent from 1974 looking at these reports and it is depressing  to see that some are simply 2-4 lines from a newspaper and that is it. Ufology has also been very good at sweeping good reports under the carpet because they do not fit in with the prevailing crowd. This is why individuals get more done because they are not jumping on the money wagon -which is how you make money in Ufology.

Ufology is NOT a Science and never will be.
