At the Jackson County Sheriff's Department, deputies initially suspected both men were drunk.
Then-Capt. Glenn Ryder, who still works for the sheriff's office, said he laughed at the report, but met with the men. Parker and Hickson stuck to their story.
After the formal interview, deputies left Hickson and Parker together in a room with a hidden tape recorder, hoping to catch them in a lie.
"Me and the other investigator got up and left to let them talk, to see if they were going to say, `Well, we got them fooled,' but they didn't," Ryder said. "They were really concerned."
On the tape, Hickson tells Parker, "It scared me to death too, son. You can't get over it in a lifetime. Jesus Christ have mercy."
"I don't know what happened to them," Ryder said. "I wasn't there with them, but I know you don't fake fear, and they were fearful. They were fearful."
The next afternoon, the story was splashed across the front pages of newspapers in Pascagoula and Gulfport. Overnight, Pascagoula became a magnet for news reporters and UFO investigators.

Or thicker. I swear, his finger must have been about two inches thick and 8 inches long.......Why would it take two minutes for a prostate exam????????
Nope, no conversation. Just poison, gasoline and flat shoes, whatever it takes to get rid of them........No conversation even considered.
Hope that's not the attitude of our visitors......

Well, it's certain they haven't been thinking about how to avoid fishing nets........
I remember this story very well. I was working at a small, daytime radio station in Tupelo at the time. There was a rash of UFO sightings across the mid-South at the time. We had been aware of them, and one evening my boss contacted me (I hadn’t left the station yet) and said he had been told of sightings there in Tupelo. I think he came down to the station with a couple friends. We were on a dirt road parallel to a railroad track; at the head of the dirt road was a dive bar called the Roundhouse. As we walked outside in the darkness of this semi-isolated area, all of a sudden, something swooped up over the Roundhouse. I will never forget it because it was so bizarre. That was two or three days before this incident in Pascagoula. The point is, the location was changing every night across the South, culminating in Pascagoula. I don’t think they could go any farther south than that.
As we were all involved in country music, back then they had these wonderful DJ conventions in Nashville every October. So there we were, at the Capitol Records show, and Brush Arbor sang the “Trucker and the UFO.” It was a lot of fun, but I believe most of it was real.
I don’t consider the angels part of this physical creation. Sorry, should have been more specific.
My brother and I saw a UFO in 1974. My brother was so traumatized by it he would not talk about it for years. I was 16 he was 14.
We know what we saw. These things are out there. Why I don’t know. People can make fun all they want. I know what I saw and it scared me half to death. There are things we just don’t understand.
Some of you just might want to open your minds up a little bit to the possibilities out there.
It is easy to make fun when it has never happened to you or a member of your family! Not so easy to laugh when you have personally been traumatized.
Hang tough. We'll get to the bottom of this eventually.
Hey, she brought me my food exactly as I ordered it and she was very pleasant about it. Was I not supposed to tip her?
HaHaHaHa, very funny. :-)
