Any posters remember this abduction story from 1973 on the Pascagoula River?

quote:

They told the police and the media that the 3 aliens were tall, with leathery grey skin and long claws. One had no neck, while another appeared more ‘feminine’. They had no eyes, just a bizarre bump on their face and only a tiny slit for a mouth. The aliens approached the two men, grabbing them by the forearms and pulling them onto the hovering ship. Some reports indicate that Calvin fainted due to shock, leaving Charles alone to deal with the situation. Once on board, Calvin claims that a bizarre ‘eye shaped’ object subjected him to intense examinations. The aliens did not hurt the pair, nor did they conduct any tests that would have harmed them.


quote:

Captain Glen Ryder admitted, “We did everything we knew to try to break their stories.” The pair were subjected to lie detector tests and intense interrogations. The Sheriff’s Office even admitted to secretly recording the pair during their interview. At one point, the officers left the room and kept the recorder rolling, hoping to catch the pair in a lie, but they didn’t. Not once did Charles and Calvin stop talking about the terror and fear that had been struck into their hearts. Their stories remained consisten.


quote:

In 1974, Charles Hickson reported 3 more alien encounters, although it is unclear whether these were the same aliens that abducted him on the Pascagoula River. His son, Eddie Hickson, confirmed that the encounters were peaceful, and his father’s message to the public was clear “We are not alone in the universe.”

Definitely visit the Bonfire Memorial near campus. Not sure if Kyle Field is open, but you should try to walk inside if it is.

Dixie Chicken for a beer. Republic Steakhouse for dinner.

Not sure if you've already booked a hotel but the TAMU Conference Center is great. Right next to Kyle Field and has a rooftop pool.

Looking like a 2:30 kickoff
Kids loved it and it was nicer than I expected.

Just get there right when they open so you can grab a table and avoid the crowds. I wouldn't spend all day there but tolerable for a few hours.

The kids liked the amusement park too but it gets hot as hell. A few hours is plenty

Are the Peak 9 restaurants/bars still open and will the chair lifts still operate when the peaks are closed for skiing. Thanks!

I’m going to Breckenridge next week. Not even planning to ski. But I will be eating well and having a good time.


Did you ski? How were the crowds around town? We're headed out next week

Also, any talk of the resort closing soon?

Thanks for all the great information. I’m in Lillian Alabama fishing Perdido River and out into the bay.

Posted by Palmetto08 on 1/17/26 at 1:55 pm
Any of you guys slow troll for specks this time of year? If so what are you trolling with? Ive only done it a few time but the past week I’ve seen see a few boats slow trolling in the creeks and mouths of bay having decent success.

Thanks for your time!

2023 was the last season it was hosted on campus.

The expanded structure of the College Football Playoff will feature 12 teams, with the first round games being hosted on college campuses. Should either Alabama or Auburn be eligible to host a first-round contest, the AHSAA Super 7 would interfere with the field conditions of both schools, as well as the championship site rotation.


Birmingham will host in 2025 and 2027 and Mobile in 2026 and 2028.
All games played at Protective Stadium in Birmingham. Games will be moving to Mobile next year.

Awesome video and Bama fans were all fantastic. The hospitality shown to these Brits was through the roof!
