The Pascagoula Abduction
In 1973, two men named Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker were fishing on the Pascagoula River in Mississippi when they claimed to have been abducted by aliens. The men reported seeing a glowing object descend from the sky and hover over the river, before three strange beings emerged and grabbed them. The men were subjected to a series of medical examinations before being released unharmed. While the incident has been widely debated and scrutinized over the years, it remains one of the most famous cases of alien abduction in history.

Multiple witnesses reported seeing a tall winged humanoid in Elk Grove Village, Illinois
Date: April 9, 2022
Time of Sighting: Approximately 2300
Location of Sighting: Elk Grove Village, Illinois
Description: Winged humanoid was seen on top of the garage by seven witnesses
Status of Case: Under Investigation – referred to Phantoms and Monsters Fortean Research Team
Manuel Navarette of the UFO Clearinghouse recently received the following report from a witness in Elk Grove, Illinois, who stated that she and several relatives witnessed a winged humanoid perched atop a nearby garage during a family birthday party on April 9th at around 11 p.m.
Sighting Report:
We were at my niece’s birthday party, and I joined some family members outside for a drink and to smoke a cigarette. We were standing behind the garage when my cousin got everyone’s attention and pointed toward the neighbor's garage. There on top of the garage was what looked like a really thin man, except he was hunched over and had extremely long arms, freakishly long arms that he was propping himself up with. He stood there hunched over on his knuckles, looking at us with these bright red glowy eyes that did not blink. He had a pair of large wings that seemed to come out from his back and were slowly moving, they looked like he was slowly moving them up and down while he stood there looking at us. We were about 50-60 feet away from this thing but we could still see it from where we were standing. He shifted up and down, almost like he was examining us and trying to figure out who or what we were, as curious about us as we were of him. There were seven of us out there, and all of us had a good view of this thing as it stood there on top of the next-door neighbor’s garage. My two younger female cousins said they were scared of this, calling it a demon. Their dad, my uncle, kept telling them that they were going to be ok as long as they stayed by him and the group. It stood there looking at us fo 30 seconds before it started flapping its wings, jumped off the garage, and flew away. It looked extremely tall and thin like it was all skin and bones, and weighed less than I did. I’m petite, like half the size of my cousins, and used to get teased about it growing up, but this creature looked even thinner than I was. It looked like a tall version of those starving children you see on the news every once in a while. It was greyish black and had a head that looked like it was shaped kind of like a praying mantis, except it had glowing red eyes that never blinked, not even once. When it jumped off the garage roof, it made my cousins and even my uncle scream as it flew off and over the trees in the backyard of my grandmother’s house, and it was gone. I know we had been drinking during the party but no one was drunk, not even tipsy and I know we all saw the same thing, which means unless we were all seeing things, this thing was there.
