Pascagoula, Miss., is known for building Navy ships, but city officials say it's actually famous for two other things.
First, it’s the birthplace of Jimmy Buffett. The city put up a historical marker outside his childhood home.
And then there’s the second thing: space aliens. The city put up a marker for them too.
“It was the evening of October 11, 1973 when two local shipyard workers went fishing,” the marker says, at the edge of the Pascagoula River.
The sign says Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker spotted a football-shaped craft, which took them aboard.
“Inside the craft, Hickson was examined by a robotic eye, then both men were deposited back on the river bank and the space ship shot away,” the marker says. Stamped at the bottom is the seal of the city of Pascagoula and the Jackson County Historical and Genealogical Society.
Mayor Jay Willis says when it came to writing this marker, authorities saw no reason to hedge.
