Pascagoula - The Closest Encounter

My Story

De: Calvin Parker, Philip Mantle - Foreword

Narrado por: David Stifel

On October 11, 1973, 19-year-old Calvin Parker and his friend, 42-year-old Charles Hickson, were spending a frustrating evening fishing on the Pascagoula River in Mississippi. Both men loved to fish, but tonight's fishing trip would turn out to be one they would never forget.

In the early evening, the men were startled when a strange craft descended and hovered a few feet above the ground and just a few yards from their location. Before they had any chance to run, an opening appeared in this craft and out "floated" three humanoid creatures. They were absolutely terrified when these creatures grabbed them and took them aboard the craft.

On the craft, both men were subjected to an examination, and at one point, they were so terrified that they believed they were about to die. Minutes later, both Calvin Parker and Charles Hickson were deposited back on the riverbank, and the craft departed.

Taking off in their car, the two terrified witnesses eventually located a public telephone box and phoned the local sheriff. A short time later, they were being interviewed at their local sheriff's office. These two disorientated witnesses told their story of their close encounter and abduction by these strange creatures. The next day, all hell was let loose as the press descended on this unsuspecting Mississippi town.

Calvin Parker, seriously disturbed by these events, has largely remained in the background without ever detailing the full account of what happened that night, how it affected him and his life, and other close encounters he has experienced down the years. Now, for the first time, Calvin Parker tells his story in full.

This audiobook, Pascagoula - The Closest Encounter, tells the story of one of the classic close encounters currently on record. This audiobook features for the first time the full transcript of Calvin Parker's hypnotic regression session with the late Budd Hopkins, one of the world's foremost researchers of this phenomena.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Well written and solid evidence/documentation

The narrator isn’t great but there is well documented evidence. He doesn’t provide much of the abduction story until the very end when he shares the experience under hypnosis.

Terrifically Terrifying Account!!!

This is the best UFO abduction book ever written/read (IMO)! Calvin Parker is very believable and likeable...He definitely went through it and thats why he was so upset after the abduction and didn't want to talk about it. To not spoil it for my fellow UFO buffs, this account contains a lot of information I have never heard before. I recommend this book to all UFO enthusiast's and I would rate it at 7, but 5 stars is the highest.

Thank you for following through! Amazing account!

My hat comes off to you, Sir!! I also have your paperback copy. The shock that you must have gone through once hearing your tape!
A key to what's going on, and I really hope people start opening their eyes to what's going on!! I'd love to buy you a coffee and talk about things. My family seen a ufo here in Arizona on the Salt River back in about 1981. Brave, brave young man back then!! Good read!! Eye opener!

Such an interesting story!

Very much enjoyed this story, especially towards the end! The next was great! Well done!

Amazing testimony!

I admire this man for his courage and candor in telling this frightening story. Well worth listening to.

Narrator Needs Help

I love this story. I wish Calvin Parker had narrated this book. He is charming, funny (unintentionally) and real. This narrator is flat and he cannot pronounce the names of the cities. Gautier in particular. I am listening to this book and it has my total attention and then he mispronounces the name of this town and it's like being slapped in the face. It takes my attention away from the book and to the guy who is talking.

I will finish listening to this book but to all of those audio book producers - please do your homework! Ask the locals how you pronounce cities that you are reading. This happens too many times. It really takes away from the hard work that the author did in writing this book.

Amazing story

I’m so glad that Calvin wrote this book finally.
I first heard of this story in 1993 and have always wondered “where are they now?”
I had no idea he had other experiences.
I am even more intrigued and want to visit him and talk about my sightings.

Best of all my boks story & all loking for more ju

Best of all my books story & all looking for more just as good as this one. I recommend this to everyone a must read.

Simple and entertaining testimony.

The narrator was clear delivered the story in a clear and even cadence. Although, the parts that seem to be missing information (ie narrated transcripts from hypnosis session) he just states the obvious “missing “ or “inaudible”.

As for the subject material, a lot of repeats itself and some come across as a conversation with little dialogue.

I would suggest you look up the news interviews with both men, which can be found on youtube.

A must read True Event

I have studied this case and met with Calvin and his story is incredible. Given the facts and consistency over time plus multiple witness corroboration, I believe that this story is written as accurate as it gets. This is a case that should be known to all enthusiast and researchers. Calvin is a laid back country boy who will give you the shirt of his back. He never wanted this story to come out. Only after all these years since 1973 has he decided to tell his side of the story. Calvin, like many others, who have encountered such high strangeness have endured a lot of pain and struggle after surviving such events and few are able to come out and talk about these very personal encounters. Thanks Calvin for writing this book as I am sure many others feel the same way.
