Calvin Parker didn't say much when he and Charles Hickson went to the police on the night of October 11, 1973.  He allowed Hickson to do the talking for him and as time goes on, Parker says he has grown to regret that decision.  He wrote a book in 2018 telling his side of the story regarding the Pascagoula Abduction.  In recent years, others have also come forward validating the two men's story.  They too had seen craft and lights in the Mississippi night sky.  This is the Pascagoula case, revisited.

Sounds to me like Mothman, only this time the witnesses call it, "The Man Bat of The Mississippi."
