American shipyard foreman. With Calvin Parker, reported the 1973 Pascagoula River abduction. His unwavering accounts up to his death made the case one of the most discussed of the period.
Charles Hickson was a shipyard worker who experienced the terrifying 1973 Pascagoula alien abduction alongside the younger Calvin Parker. Hickson reported that after a glowing craft descended, three levitating entities paralyzed them and transported them inside for a medical examination. Hickson's key contribution was his willingness to immediately report the incident to the military and law enforcement, and his subsequent passing of a polygraph examination. Unlike Parker, Hickson openly discussed the event for the rest of his life, becoming a well-known figure in the UAP community. The verifiable panic he displayed during the secret police recordings lends significant psychological weight to his claims.
