STRANGER THINGS Fishermen saw ‘robot-like creatures with slit mouths and crab pincers in most bizarre alien abduction ever’, secret hypnosis files reveal

THE two men involved in one of the most bizarre ‘alien’ encounters on record recalled seeing “creatures with slit-like mouths and crab pincers” while under hypnosis, top secret files obtained by Sun Online reveal.

Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker claim they were captured by three alien creatures and taken into a UFO while they were fishing in Pascagoula, Mississippi, on October 11, 1973.

Now never-seen-before handwritten notes of a secret interview conducted on them under hypnosis reveal how they both described strange creatures looking like robots with unusual eyes, grey skin and crab pincers for arms.

The interview was conducted in 1973 by case investigators Professor J Allen Hynek and Dr James Harder – and the terrified men’s account was enough to convince the pair that they were telling the truth. 

Dr Harder’s files include notes from the interview and other information he gathered – and offer a unique insight into the infamous sighting almost 45 years ago.

On one handwritten page Dr Harder writes: “I asked what the ‘creatures’ looked like and got a description which included 1. No neck, no helmet 2. crab-like hands, two digits … 3. slit-like ‘mouth’.”

The beings did not communicate and had a “robot businesslike attitude”, the men recalled during the hypnosis session.

Charles, 42, and Calvin 19, were sat on the banks of the Pascagoula River, when they claim they heard a whizzing sound overhead.

They said that an oval shaped “craft”, some 8ft across, suddenly appeared near them and seemed to levitate about 2ft above the ground.

A door opened and three creatures – who were “humanoid” in shape and about 5ft tall – emerged and seized the men, “floating” them into the UFO, they later told police.

Both men reported being paralysed and numb – while Calvin claimed that he had fainted due to fright.
