The Abduction of Calvin Parker
Channel: HISTORY (DStv 186)
TX Time: 12h55
Genre: Documentary Series, Paranormal
This is the story of Calvin Parker, a man at the epicentre of one of the greatest mysteries of our era: the Pascagoula Abduction of 1973, in which Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker claimed they were abducted and examined before being released by aliens while fishing near Pascagoula, Mississippi.
Fifthy years on, the accounts of Charlie and Calvin remain unchanged.
What happened that fateful night in October 1973 on the bank of the Pascagoula, is best told by those who lived through it.
Unidentifiable lights, close encounters, photographic evidence of puncture wounds, a secret police interrogation tape, a sonic boom over the heartland of the United States, its size unmatched by all except the Krakatoa volcanic eruption of 1883.
The lengths taken by Air Force personnel to assess the alleged abductees adds to the mystery that something did indeed happen.
But what... remains to be explained.
This account is not a case of hook, line and sinker.
In this exclusive original series, hear first hand testimony from over 20 witnesses to unexplainable activity along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, including Calvin Parker and Eddie Hickson (Charlie Hickson's son), as well as investigators Dr. Scott and Philip Mantle.
Many eyewitnesses, in the twilight of their lives have revealed their truth for the first time, confronting the inevitable ridicule that comes with a belief not held in the mainstream.
Guy's Grocery Games 34
Channel: Food Network (DStv 175)
TX Time: 17h00
Genre: Reality Competition, Food
Guy Fieri sends four talented chefs running through the aisles in a high-stakes, high skills, grocery store cooking competition.
From students to grannies to celebrities, the competition is always fierce.
Each episode sees the chefs hit by real-world challenges like finding workarounds when all the essential ingredients are suddenly "out-of-stock," or having to create a masterpiece when they can only cook with "5 items or less" or on a $10 budget.
In the end, the food does the talking, as the last chef standing has the chance to make some serious cash.
In the Season 34 premiere, "DDD All Day": Guy invites chefs from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives to compete in Flavortown Market for the very first time by giving the judges a taste of their all-day menus.
They attempt to make a big first impression with their best-selling brunch using only ingredients they can fit in a very small shopping bag.
Then, they must serve an updated diner dinner featuring some very retro diner ingredients, including strawberry ice cream.
Ultimately, the winning DDD chef will head into the sunset with up to $20,000.
