Bright object observed over Pascagoula, Mississippi — future abduction site (1952)

Project Blue Book Case #2143. On October 1, 1952, a bright object was observed over Pascagoula, Mississippi — a Gulf Coast shipbuilding city that would become world-famous in UFO history twenty-one years later, when Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker reported being abducted by strange beings while fishing on the Pascagoula River in October 1973. This 1952 case predated that infamous encounter by two decades. The case was classified "Unknown."
