The article reports on the 11 October 1973 Charles Hickson/Calvin Parker UFO
incident (occurred in Pascagoula , Mississippi ).
A short time after Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker’s
UFO encounter in Pascagoula , Marion County
civil defense official James Thornhill of Columbia ,
Mississippi , picked up an unknown
object on his radar set.
Quote from the article:
“ ‘I observed what I thought to be an aircraft,’
Thornhill told officials. ‘It got rather close to the station, about three
miles, then it became stationary and all of a sudden my radar just completely
jammed.’
‘I’ve never seen anything quite like this, except
perhaps during World War II,’ he said.
Thornhill said the radar unit developed streaks when
the UFO returned later. Area residents, he said, reported seeing a craft with bright
blue lights Sunday night.”
