A UFO at O'Hare? Some Pilots Thought So
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: January 1, 2007

CHICAGO (AP) -- Federal officials say it was probably just some weird weather phenomenon, but a group of United Airlines employees swear they saw a mysterious, saucer-shaped craft hovering over O'Hare Airport last fall.

The workers, some of them pilots, said the object didn't have lights and hovered over an airport terminal before shooting up through the clouds, according to a report in Monday's Chicago Tribune.

The Federal Aviation Administration acknowledged that a United supervisor had called the control tower at O'Hare, asking if anyone had spotted a spinning disc-shaped object. But the controllers didn't see anything, and a preliminary check of radar found nothing out of the ordinary, FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said.

''Our theory on this is that it was a weather phenomenon,'' Cory said. ''That night was a perfect atmospheric condition in terms of low (cloud) ceiling and a lot of airport lights. When the lights shine up into the clouds, sometimes you can see funny things.''

The FAA is not investigating, Cory said.

The AP is making a joke out of this. Of course.

What do you think?

"To fly 7 million light years to O'Hare and then have to turn around and go home because your gate was occupied is simply unacceptable," said O'Hare controller and union official Craig Burzych.

Aren't pilots renowned for being under the influence constantly?

There were many witnesses, so it's not necessarily a hoax. Maybe it's a secret, experimental military aircraft, kinda like the supposed uber hi-tech, "anti-gravity" ship TR-3b ("black triangle") that had many sightings including the ones videotaped in Belgium and Phoenix.

The one in Belgium was actually intercepted but its movements were pretty radical, like changing a of altitude of 3,000 feet in a second.

I get the feeling I'm going to be blamed for this.

UFO: Unidentified Flying Object.

So, in strict truth I seem 'em every day. Each plane overhead to me is unidentified. As are some objects that might indeed be birds...

True / false? About as relevant as how many angels can fit on the head of a pin.

Heh, false. Angels do not follow the laws of physics. And they are describing something inorganic, not like a bird. :)

Well all that money getting pumped into military research has to produce results sometimes...

I don't understand why everyone seems to be attacking the observers, there were twelve of them, seeing the same thing, hard to imagine they all were drunk.

A military research project?
They just had the first flights of some stealth fighters, how on earth should they have flying saucers already? And by the Gs those things seem to pull when accellerating, how could any livinbg beings survive that? But aliens are most likely made of rubber and jelly so they will just become pancakes on the floor while accellerating and then return to their original form.

all our airports are belong to them.

I wasn't being serious, it was probably some weird weather phenomena like the article says
