In the sky! A bird? A plane? A ... UFO? (Over O'Hare)
Chicago Tribune ^ | 1 January 2007 | Jon Hilkevitch

It sounds like a tired joke--but a group of airline employees insist they are in earnest, and they are upset that neither their bosses nor the government will take them seriously.

A flying saucerlike object hovered low over O'Hare International Airport for several minutes before bolting through thick clouds with such intense energy that it left an eerie hole in overcast skies, said some United Airlines employees who observed the phenomenon.

The FedGov will never follow up on these, with the possible exception of a UFO landing on an aircraft and crushing it.

This Board finds "Pilot Error" to be the cause of this accident, the pilot of the Intergalactic Experimental aircraft exceeded the landing requirements of the spacecraft
and failed to follow proper proceedure at a major transit hub.

Case closed.

It is just two reporters talking about it. No video of the actual UFO.

You have to hit your F5 key really hard at exactly 1:18 into the video, and then another window pops up with video of the actual UFO. /sarc

Really, too bad Mercury 7 astronaut Gordon Cooper is dead now. I'd have paid big bucks to see you wave your "I Want to Believe" graphic under his nose. Cooper wrote openly about his encounters with UFOs. He wasn't a "believer." He was someone who's been around more and seen more than you.

Bet the farm that the employees, who saw the UFO, are all, liberal Democrats!!

Hey, Pisano, you need to get out a little more. I personally know very well two red-rock Republicans who've seen what can only be called spacecraft not likely of this earth.

I guess they couldn't find a camera-phoned teen in that several minutes in an airport full of people.

Really? Out here in the burbs, we call Jesus to mow the lawn.

In a related story, Chicago hospitals have treated a record number of depression and intoxicated related injuries due, some think, to the Bears' humiliating loss at the hands of the rebuilding Packers.

My brother used to know a white guy whose name was Jesus Justice, and who was a bad, bad boy. Ah, the irony!

Where to begin on this one:

An illegal alien ping?
A homosexual agenda, anti-alien-probe ping?
Airport security ping?

Of course! You're right. It was Venus. I've been a fool.

I was going to post this sooner, but I thought no one would believe me. I actually saw two UFO's two days ago. I wouldn't call them "flying saucers," but they were unlike anything I'd ever seen in the sky before.

At first look, they appeared to be a couple of black birds, maybe vultures. But they were only vaguely bird shaped and had no moving wings. They seemed to float, perhaps 700-1000 feet above the earth. For a moment I thought they might be toy parachutes floating back to earth. But they suddenly soared off away from me in a straight line, keeping even distance between them all the way. I watched for about a minute until they disappeared into a cloud.

I supposed they could have been a pair of oddly behaving birds, but not like anything I've every seen--and I've seen quite a bit!

"it was not an airplane, helicopter, weather balloon or any other craft known to man"

Hence the "U" part.

No need to call Jesus, He already knows. What do you think the object in Ezekiel was? What do you think the "white steed" is that He comes back on? When the Bible refers to "whirlwinds" or chariots and horses in the clouds that is what they are. Some good, some bad. They've been around forever and are shown in ancient art. I assure you they didn't know about planes, balloons, etc. then.

The little green men took one look at life on Earth and beat a quick retreat.

This incident reminds me of the Tehran UFO incident where another group of pilots saw an unidentified flying object (UFO). This sighting does not have the secondary sightings like the Tehran incident had (that we know about yet), but it is certainly interesting. I believe the Tehran sighting had radar returns, so I'm curious if there is any radar data from any site (including military) for this sighting. As usual, it is always best to assume the least and follow the data--not make crazy assumptions about spacemen.

I've read a post from someone who personally knew two red-rock (perhaps a Sedona reference?) republicans who've seen what can only be called a spacecraft not likely of this earth.
