I think it is fair to say that I have hunted high and low for information on the
1973 Pascagoula case. I have been assisted by a great many people, especially
my friend and colleague Dr Irena Scott from Ohio. Dr Scott is also the co-
author of our new book ‘BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT – The Pascagoula
Alien Abduction’ which is out now on Amazon.
Much to my amazement at the end of 2023 another respected friend and
colleague in the USA, David Marler, Executive Director of the National UFO
Historical Records Center in Albuquerque announced that he had acquired the
long ‘lost’ APRO Files (https://nufohrc.org/). These files were not really lost but
had simple been inaccessible for decades. David now has them in his
possession. David knew of our work on the 1973 Pascagoula encounter and it
wasn’t long before he contacted me with what I believe is a truly historical find.
In the APRO files there were 5 separate recordings all related to the Pascagoula
case. One of these recordings was the hypnosis session of Calvin Parker by Dr
James Harder on October 14 th 1973, just three days after the encounter on
October 11 th .
I had hoped that something might turn up in the APRO files simply because Dr
James Harder was one of many scientific advisors APRO had at their disposal.
Dr. Harder of course attempted to put Calvin under hypnosis shortly after he
arrived in Pascagoula. Calvin was too traumatized and the hypnosis was cut
short. You can decide for yourself if I am correct or not. It is nonetheless a
fascinating piece of the puzzle.

It is hard to make out all parts of the hypnosis but I have done my very best to
transcribe it as accurately as possible.
Dr James Harder (Doctor) Calvin Parker (Calvin).

Doctor: “What did you see after you heard the zips. ? What was the next thing
that happened?”
Calvin: “The light.”
