Didn’t that one involve two guys night fishing off a sandbar in the Pascagoula River, a campfire and whiskey?

The two painters were fishing off the dock at Gulf Cities Fisheries below the Pascagoula River bridge when they were picked up by a “light”. What was unique was there were two sheriff patrol cars on the bridge that night that observed the incident. The USS Shark was in dry dock one mile South of the fisheries at Ingalls. The men afterwards were taken to Keesler AFB and interrogated by the USAF, several of the interrogators were people with which I served. They thought the two men unable to make up such a story and with witnesses there was quite the interest. Something unique happened to them IMO. The men were not inebriated and were scared witless.
