Major Lori Rehfeldt of God, Aliens and a Cuppa Coffee recently had an intriguing exchange with authors Philip Mantle and Irena Scott, PhD. They explored a fifty-year-old incident through extensive research, investigation, and discovery. Their findings are fresh, thought-provoking, and frightening. Additionally, this story shows how social media allowed people who were on the boat or driving across the bridge to realize they weren't alone. On October 11th, 1973, Charles Hickson (age 42) and Calvin Parker (age 18) were fishing on the Pascagoula River in Mississippi. When a dazzling blue light illuminated their surroundings, both men watched in horror as a rugby ball-shaped object descended from the sky. Three bizarre humanoid entities emerged from the craft and came towards them. Later that night, the frightened pair went to their local Sherriff’s Department to report the abduction. The story soon spread around the world. While Hickson was eager to tell his tale, Parker wanted simply to be left alone. In 1983, Hickson published a book with William Mendez about his experience, but it wasn't until 2018 that Calvin Parker finally shared his story publicly for the first time. https://www.amazon.com/BEYOND-REASONABLE-DOUBT-Pascagoula-Abduction/dp/B0C9KM8RX3

As a Warrior, surrounding yourself with people who genuinely care about you is crucial. In the God, Aliens and a Cuppa Coffee Podcast, we delve into the mysteries of this world. What is our purpose? Where are we headed? And what do we believe in? The Bible and Quran are two of the most influential books ever written. They contain divine knowledge that can guide us through life. But do we truly understand their messages?

Major Lori Rehfeldt had an insightful conversation with Major (Chaplain) Countess Clarke Cooper, a Yale Divinity School graduate. Countess wears many hats and uses her voice to advocate for those who are rejected, silenced, and neglected. Religion is not meant to be used to gain power and create division, but rather to foster peace and provide relief to those in need.

Overall, Countess sees social justice as a major tenet in her work, service and ministry in the world, inspired by the prophetic verse of Amos 5:24 (NET Bible), “Justice must flow like torrents of water, righteous actions like a stream that never dries up.”

At the end of December 1980, Airman First Class George Conway was unexpectedly moved to morning duty, otherwise known as Alpha Flight. He suspected that something had occurred the night before but no one would tell him anything. Even his so-called friends were keeping silent about it. Although the situation seemed strange, he decided to let it go since he'd been stationed at RAF Bentwaters and its sister base RAF Woodbridge for a year. It wasn't until 1994 when he saw Robert Stack presenting an episode of Unsolved Mysteries about Rendlesham Forest that he found out what really happened that night—14 years later!
