Today he sent us a scan of one of his news releases from that time. This is no smoking gun, but it is a valuable piece of UFO (Pascagoula case) history. As you can see from his email below, he is going to send us more in the mail.

23 August 2025:
Hope all is well with you.

1.  The attached is what I wrote for the newsreader to intro and wrap up the story when the interview was first broadcast.

The “————————“ at the bottom of page 1 indicates where the film interview played.  

Reviewing those files was a brutal reminder of how ‘quick and dirty’ broadcast writing was in those pre-word processor days.  Overstrikes were par and misspellings were cleaned up by the newsreader as he went along…

2.  I’ve been sorting files from my days as a reporter and have a stack of AP and UPI clippings and other ephemera  that I’d like to pass along to you.  The clippings from the wire service teletypes are quite faint after 50 years and would be problematic to scan so I thought I would just send you the lot by post.  Can you provide a postal address for me?

Kind regards,

Van Payne

Don is a retired teacher and coach, now a full-time artist, trained visual artist, and filmmaker with multiple festival selections.

Asked what inspired him to write and record this new song, Smith stated: “I knew Charlie and Calvin and listened to the news reports as they happened back then in 1973 when driving home from Ole Miss to my hometown Pascagoula. I’m the same age as Calvin Parker. Thanks to new computer software I can finally afford to properly demo my songs.”

Looking, closer I discovered a row of windows dotted along the starboard breadth; unveiling what I thought was interior light shining out of those portholes. Suddenly, in a flash of the next instant, the object tilted twenty five degrees forward and shot straight up into the sky, immediately disappearing behind snaking contrails into the high mesosphere. All without as much as making a single sound.”
This gentleman was living in Louisiana at the time of the sighting and is looking for some of the other students who also saw this event. He was on his way to school at the time. We will publish this in full at a later date.

The post Pascagoula Update a New Witness appeared first on The Philadelphia Experiment From A-Z.

I have never given up hope of locating more information on this unique case and just a matter of weeks ago I was sent two historical TV recordings featuring Calvin Parker & Charles Hickson. The first was literally shot the day after the encounter of October 11th, 1973, and is the first-ever TV interview by Hickson & Parker. The second was from 1987 and shows Parker & Hickson interviewed in a TV studio. I was over the moon with these two films and I have transcribed them both. I will publish them in a new book next year.

Today, July 8th 2024 I awoke to find a number of messages on my facebook account from David Marler.  To say I was astonished with what David was telling me is an understatement. I’ll let him tell you this in his own words.

“8th July 2024,

Hello Philip. Well, Brian Myers delivered another batch of APRO material here today. And I just stumbled across the missing APRO case file on Pascagoula! It was found in a miscellaneous lot of papers in a banana box. I will try to get this scanned soon for you. Some pics are attached. 95% or more is newspaper clippings. Also, I also found a set of photocopies with it, of the case file. The receipt was included. It is dated 7/21/18. Apparently Brian made copies for someone that was never sent.

David Marler.
National UFO Historical Records Center”

Brian Myers was one of the custodians of the APRO files and he had, perhaps unknowingly, delivered the ‘lost’ documented APRO  case file. For me and my research partner, Dr Irena Scott, this is yet another historical addition to the best-documented alien abduction case on record. That, of course, was the 1973 Pascagoula case featuring Charles Hickson, Calvin Parker, and an ever-increasing number of independent eyewitnesses. Now we have, or shortly will have I should say, a copy of the lost APRO case file. I am over the moon and I cannot thank David Marler and his colleagues at the National UFO Historical Records Center (https://nufohrc.org/) enough for once again supporting us in our research and investigation into the Pascagoula case.
