The Pascagoula incident took place amid the 1973 UFO flap -- a spate of UFO reports in the US South, particularly Louisiana and Mississippi.
Around 8 PM on October 11, service station operator Larry Booth called the sheriff to report seeing a strange craft with a blinking colored light pass overhead. Around 11 PM, 45-year-old Charles Hickson and his 17-year-old relative Calvin Parker arrived at the Jackson County, Mississippi sheriff's office to report a strange encounter.According to Hickson, the pair had been fishing off a pier on the west bank of the Pascagoula River when they heard a whirring/whizzing sound, saw two flashing blue lights, and observed an oval shaped object 30–40 feet (9–12 m) across and 8–10 feet (2–3 m) high. Hickson explained that the young Parker fainted and remained unconscious during the examination. Hickson claimed three "creatures" with "pincers" took them aboard the object and subjected them to an examination, before returning them to the wharf.
According to the pair, they initially decided not to report the incident but instead went to the Mississippi Press office to share their story. On learning no newsmen were present, the pair continued on to the sheriff's office to make a report. Captain Glenn Ryder later told press that he was initially skeptical and suspected a prank but soon came to believe the men were sincere. Ryder smelled alcohol on Hickson's breath, but Hickson explained he had only drunk whiskey after being released. Ryder told press that the men were not drunk. Officers left Hickson and Parker alone in a room, secretly recording the conversation between the two hoping to catch them in a lie, but their stories remained consistent with their original testimony.
On October 12, 1973, the Mississippi Press of Pascagoula reported on the two men who claimed to have been taken onboard a UFO by strange creatures the previous night.

Still more probable than Epstein killing himself
