Initial data
Bill McMorris and his son were driving home from an evening fishing trip near Hidalgo, Illinois. Driving North on highway 130 through the depressions South of Greenap, they saw an object on the roof of a farm house owned by Walter Gable.
"It was the size of a house," said McMorris, publisher of the Greenup newspaper. He said it was at least three-quarters of a mile away, and it looked like it was descending."
He lost sight of it as he descended into the gap in the road, and when he reached the other side of the hill, it was gone. He also said that it was evenly lit, no spot was brighter than any other.
Original news
Aug. 4, 1973; Greenup, IL
Evening. Bill McMorris and his son were on their way home from an evening of fishing near Hidalgo, Ill. Coming north on Route 130 through the hollows south of Greenup they saw the object across the top of a farm house owned by Walter Gabel. “It was as big as a house,” McMorris, publisher of the Greenup newspaper, said. It was at least three-fourths of a mile away and seemed to be coming down, he said. He lost sight of it when he went down into a dip in the road, and when he came up the other side of the hill, it was gone. He too said it was evenly illuminated, no one spot any brighter than any other. (SL-71, page 5)
