Ep. 69 The 1973 Pascagoula UFO Incident

On this episode of Kraken Cans Cast, we crack open Evergrain Brewing’s Mothman Double IPA—a hazy citrus punch of a beer that feels just right for a night of UFO talk. And what better story to pair it with than one of the most famous alien encounters in American history: the 1973 Pascagoula Abduction.

We dive deep into the night Charles Hickson (42) and Calvin Parker (19) were fishing along the Pascagoula River when a strange glowing craft descended, robotic-looking beings emerged, and both men claimed they were taken aboard. You’ll hear how the men reacted immediately after the encounter, including their unforgettable trip to the local sheriff’s office. From the sheriff secretly recording them in the interview room—hoping to catch a hoax—to the chilling fact that the men never broke from their story, we break down every eerie detail.

We’ll also talk about the aftermath: the media frenzy, Calvin’s lifelong anxiety, Charles’ repeated encounters, and why this case has remained one of the most debated UFO incidents for over 50 years.

Crack a can, settle in, and join us as we revisit the Pascagoula Incident, a story that proves sometimes the sky isn’t the only thing watching.
