MISSISSIPPI NAVY RETIREE SAYS HE ALSO SAW SPACESHIP
PASCAGOULA -- Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal 10/21/01 by Natalie
Chambers states. "When Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker told the world in
1973 they were abducted by aliens while fishing on the Pascagoula River, few
people believed them. Now after 28 years, it appears they weren't alone in
their experience on that October 11, night. A retired Navy chief petty
officer recently contacted The Mississippi Press about the sighting that he
can't forget. Mike Cataldo of Rotonda West, Florida said he was on the
pre-commissioning crew of the USS Tunney under construction at Ingalls
Shipyard. Dusk was setting in as he and crewmates Ted Peralta and Mack Hanna
were on US 90 heading to Ocean Springs. Peralta was driving, Hanna was in
the front passenger seat, and Cataldo was in the back seat. "We saw a very
strange object in the horizon going from northwest across Highway 90. It was
going pretty fast and went down into a wooded area and into a marsh. It
hovered over the tree line, for a minute. We actually pulled off the road
and watched it. We said, 'My God, what is that."' Cataldo said. "We saw it,
no question about it. The object looked like a large tambourine with little
lights flashing on it. "As quickly as we saw it, it just vanished," he said.
Cataldo said he had a second sighting minutes later, this time in St.
Andrews as he neared his home. "It wasn't as high up as we saw the first
time. It was real," he said. Cataldo said he rushed and told his wife what
happened. "I was almost hyperventilating. I wasn't shook up, but I was
excited I saw this thing," he said. The next morning, Cataldo contacted his
executive officer on the submarine and made a report. This helps confirm the
famous Hickson and Parker story of being taken aboard a spacecraft. Thanks
