What story would you want to hear? I am sure I can come up with something.

I suppose Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker came up with something too, they even had the guts to deceive the police department, you know, just for fun. But the sheriff was somehow smarter, so he brings the two men together into a wired room and waited for the inevitable: they'll expose themselves as hoaxers after speaking with each other. Easy indeed! Oh... wait.

I could care less about old newspapers that published 3rd hand accounts of UFO sightings. Chances are I've already seen them anyway. They are stories;They are interesting anecdotes; But they are proof of nothing.
Of course UFOs, by definition, exist. I've never claimed otherwise. But to assume that any of them are of extraterrestrial origins, without any evidence of such, is ludicrous.

I was waiting for one of you to post! Let's define "proof"
proof
1. evidence or argument establishing or helping to establish a fact or the truth of a statement
I think I have established an argument helping to establish a fact?

OK. So they didn't hoax it. Are you then saying its impossible for 2 people to be convinced of something like this without it actually happening?

So you want a story with two witnesses? Is that what makes it work for you?
Parker told officers, he had passed out at the beginning of the incident and failed to regain consciousness until it was over (United Press International 1973).
Give me a better explanation. remember, you have TWO witnesses at the same time.
Curtis was overcome with fright. Before he could make a move of any kind, a door opened on the side of the craft and an entity came forth. He stood eight foot tall, his skin was yellowish, and instead of eyes, the creature had slits. His forehead came to a point, and his head ran straight into his chest, leaving the impression that he had no neck.
The being proceeded to float to the ground and glided toward the trapped occupants of the van. It was then that Curtis noticed the snow was melting in the wake of the creature. His body generated tremendous heat, so much so that as it came across a small rise, the snow disappeared around in all directions. In a matter of what seemed like seconds, the being came over to the right- hand side of the van where Jimi was seated and looked right through the window. Jimi seemed to be communicating telepathically with it.
...this book is the biggest piece of crap that was EVER penned in the name of Jimi Hendrix. I should have known before hand though after having read Knight's 1974 book simply entitled "Jimi" what a load of BS this was going to be. In THAT book, Curtis spent more time blowing his own out of tune horn than giving us any useful information on Jimi. You see, here is the problem. Curtis Knight was not a has been. He was a never was. A guy who never got beyond the bar band level but his one claim to fame was that Jimi Hendrix (prefame) was briefly in his band. In the first book, Curtis claimed to have seen Jimi twice since he died. Once Curtis woke up one morning with his girlfriend and looked across the bed and Jimi was laying beside her on the other side of the bed(and Curtis didn't jump up and yell WTF !!!!?) The second time he was alone one evening in a candle lit room and Jimi floated in about 3 feet off the floor wearing a long white robe (and bald no less!) Must have been some good stuff Curtis was smoking. In the book in question here "Starchild," I will give two example of why you should toss this book. Curtis spins a tale of the band doing a gig (in Jersey I think) and on the way home a snow storm causes the car to get stuck in a ditch.The band (except Jimi and Curtis are asleep and they are in danger of freezing to death when Lo and behold a UFO lands, an alien or two get out, and push the car back onto the road. Of course nobody else saw this (imagine THAT). The other steaming pile of crap is in one of the photos in the book. A shot of Curtis by Jimi's grave and the ghost of Jimi mysteriously in the background. What it is, is a really bad double exposure photo that a 1st grader would scream FAKE at.
To sum up...I am a Hendrix completist. I have most EVERY book readily available on Hendrix and some hard to find ones and they vary greatly in the quality of what they offer. THIS book I refuse to have in my collection. Someone gave me a copy and after reading it, politely gave it back. Toss this one into the nearest
trash can. (end of rant).

I dont think its impossible that two people can come to believe in something like this and tell the same story without lying.

Parker saw the ship, saw the beings.
Try again.

Calvin Parker gave an interview in 2013 to mark the 40th anniversary of the sighting , he now says he was awake during the encounter but because he didn't want to talk about it Charles Hickson told him to say he'd passed out , I think the revelation is more to do with Hickson no longer being here than a new development in the case but perhaps it is true ... who knows.
Interview starts at about 1.30
I still find the Pascagoula case an interesting one , the stuff I've seen and read from the professionals who've spoken to them over the years I still think they experienced something that day but am not sure what.
If weirdness were an indication of the truth then this encounter would be No 1.

So he lied about being unconscious, but the rest of the story is true...

I didn't say he lied about being unconscious I said he now says he was awake during the encounter and that Charles Hickson told him to say he'd passed out because he didn't want to talk about it , maybe that's true ... I don't know , and neither do you.
that pretty much destroys any credibility the rest of his story may have had.
