Background

At 10:00 p.m. a 47-year-old housewife saw the lower corner of a gigantic “mothership” outside her living room window in a southwest suburb of Chicago. The blimp-like object was so huge that she could not see its whole length or height; it extended over the whole block of houses at treetop level. She reported four different kinds of humanoid creatures, seven in all, visible through the luminous yellow hull, and heard a loud humming sound. The sighting lasted 45 minutes.
