The 1973 Pascagoula event

The Betty/Barney Hill alien kidnapping
This UFO related incident is one of the more intriguing in
UFO lore.
You can read about here, the Wikipedia account and a Washington
Post report:
I’m a Facebook “friend” of Calvin Parker, pictured here with
Charles Hickson:
Calvin has a popular book about his experience, and I
suggest you get/read it; it’s a gem, an authentic witness account of a truly
remarkable incident, no matter what it ultimately turns out to be.
I’ve written, in the past, that these two good ol’ boys had
a folie à deux moment:
The “psychiatric” incident brought on by, maybe, some bad
liquor or other ingested material(s).
Reading Calvin one might disagree.
But were the two fellows “abducted” by extraterrestrial
visitors? Or taken by some other paranormal entities from elsewhere?
There is little doubt in my mind (and the mind of others)
that Calvin and Charles had what they say happened to them.
If it was a delusion, it was a good one.
Although psychiatry and psychologists (plus science itself)
think, generally, even totally, that delusions are false experiences.
But there are excellent delusions in the literature and
“history”:
The meeting of Jesus (after his death/Resurrection) by two of His disciples on the Road
to Emmaus
The voice(s) that afflicted Joan of Arc, causing her to
battle (and be martyred)
The alleged dream of Abraham Lincoln in which he foresaw
his death (assassination)
And if Calvin and Charles experienced a shared delusion,
that was an excellent one also.
José Caravaca’s Distortion Theory provides an hypothesis
that explains the Pascagoula episode.
The ETH oriented explanation doesn’t sit well with me, for
the reasons often enumerated here.
So what happened to Calvin Parker? He had a unique experience,
that’s certain, but the true nature of it remains a mystery, a good one, but
still a mystery.
