The original taped interview of Charles Hickson
and Calvin Parker, Jr. by the Pascagoula, MS Sheriff's Department
This recording was obtained from Wendy Connors and William Jones, who have
agreed that this audio clip should be made available to researchers.
Recorded within a couple of hours following their abduction, this 30 minute
recording was made without Mr. Hickson or Mr. Parker's knowledge and had not
been known to exist to the general crypto-aeronautic community until now.During the early 1960s and through the 1970s, researchers would record radio newscasts, etc. on reel to reel tape recorders and share these and taped letters among themselves. Richard T. Lee was one of these early researchers who was interested in the metaphysical, including the crypto-aeronautic phenomena. It is from his collection that this tape (much deteriorated) has been recovered, preserved and prevented from being lost to future generations of researchers and crypto-aeronautical historians.
This recording is extremely valuable both to abduction researchers and for its historical aspects. The sound quality is rather substandard, as normally found with law enforcement recordings from the period, but is listenable. The recording has been digitally preserved and transferred to CD format. The interview lasts approximately 30 minutes with Hickson and Parker promising to return the following day to the Sheriff's Department to give a formal statement.
Perhaps the most crucial importance of the recording lies in the fact that Hickson and Parker relate the experience within a few hours of the abduction and the listener can hear their confusion, fear and astonishment (not just to the Sheriff's deputies, but among themselves when they remain alone in the room) at what they had just experienced.
Warning- The audio quality of this old recording is poor. At present this is available only as a single downloadable file. Two versions are offered:
Hickson/Parker Sherrif's
Department Interview (5.4 MB) [24-bit, Stereo]
Hickson/Parker Sherrif's Department Interview (1.8 MB) [8-bit, Mono]
