I'd be scared and shaking too if G men dressed in alien costumes approach me in the middle of the night, and in the middle of nowhere, carrying an anal probe. :)
I was a child back when this happened, and remember when the local news reported the stories. I thought they were fishing from a boat and were abducted, or was it a different case?
These men were on the Gulf Cities Fishery dock. A bright light surrounded them and they disappeared for a short while, all within sight of the Pearl River Bridge (about two miles from where the USS Shark was in dry dock)where a couple of patrol cars were sitting watching. The men then were back in sight shortly. The time elapsed was about ten minutes. The deputies went down to the guys and questioned them about what they had seen and then called the USAF at Keesler...that’s when they military took over. I think it was a Saturday night because I was left in the barracks and was the only 908 with a Geiger. After I did my thing they were questioned for hours by a panel of USAF officers. These guys were humble and IMO what they were describing was far above their level of imagination. They were still dressed in their paint stained painters clothes. One had been scared so bad he relieved himself into his pants. To this day I don’t know what to believe, these guys saw something and something really strange happened to them. Col. R.L. Hanson was the Colonel in charge of decontamination and NBC monitoring and with him was CMSGT Brent.
