Illinois UFO hysteria begins with a police officer in Rock Island spotting an illuminated vessel floating in space about a half mile overhead. It reaches its climax eight days later when farmhand John Halley and local vineyard owner Adolf Wenke say that the mysterious vessel had landed three miles out of Decatur. Apparently a "scientist" (which I guess was the word for "alien" at the time) with a long beard got out and asked them where he was, told them that they land the vessel in the daytime in remote areas, and then introduced himself by pointing at the letter "M" painted on the side of the vessel.
Ken: "Whatever, dude."
