ON the afternoon of Nov. 7, 2006, pilots and airport employees at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago saw a disc-like object hovering over the tarmac for several minutes. Because nothing was tracked on radar, the Federal Aviation Administration did not investigate. Yet radar is not a reliable detector of all aircraft. Stealth planes are designed to be invisible to radar, and many radar systems filter out signals not matching the normal characteristics of aircraft. Did it really make sense to entirely ignore the observations of several witnesses?

On Dec. 26, 1980, for instance, several witnesses at two American Air Force bases in England reported seeing a U.F.O. land. An examination of the site turned up indentations in the ground and a level of radiation in the area that was significantly higher than ordinary. More witnesses at the same base reported the U.F.O. again on subsequent nights. The deputy base commander reported that the aircraft aimed light beams into the most highly sensitive area of the base — a clear security breach.

There are some very odd craft flitting about these days, but they are much, much more likely to come from Burbank or Palmdale than from outer space.
It was Benny Hill, not Monty Python.
An inadequate explanation, imho.
Thx for the thread.
Not according to my relative who worked around them routinely.
And you know this how? Not that I'm suspicious or anything.
Given that the NYSlimes is a major mouthpiece of the puppet masters . . . this is an interesting article.
” . . . not investigated . . . since 1969 . . . “
Soooooo misleading. Mostly a brazen lie.
Working with the critters and flying similar craft of our on that they partly taught us to build . . . and keeping a very close watch—as best we can—on all their doings . . . may not fit some defs of “investigated” but it does mine.
The exposure/disclosure of the subject . . . and springing it overtly onto the world’s populace is underway.
Virtually weekly and sometimes daily a new incremental bit of data will flow out.
This is NOT accidental.
Almost everyone has a cell phone that is capable of taking pictures and or video and nobody caught the hovering image at O’hare?
Perhaps we should start a pool . . .
When will FR powers that be decide that the UFO news topic has become central enough to daily life in a hard news sort of way to quit automatically relegating such articles to CHAT?
What should the closest date guess get as a prize?
Who would provide the prize?
What would the criteria be? Sometimes some mods leave up news stories about UFO’s from bona fide sources and MSM media for several days before relegating to chat. How long should we wait to establish that a sea change has occurred?
Any other suggestions about such a pool?
I think it has been established that there were 12-16 or more people in the parking lot at the time—many taking photos with various kinds of equipment, including cell phones.
I don’t recall if any have surfaced. Most folks did not want the exposure and publicity.
There may have also been some threats against publishing the photos.
When there is something substantial to report about UFOs would be my guess.
I’ve worked with all of those guys.
How would you define
SUBSTANTIAL?
And why is the bar so unrealistically high on this topic alone?
That bar will still be reached and it appears that it will be far sooner than I’d prefer.
But there’s plenty of substantial info out there already.
The Edgar Mitchel Larry King interviews are a case in point.
Is the Quix Challenge anything like the Klass Challenge?
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/aliens/philipklass.html
SUBSTANTIAL?
Something definite. I've seen nothing but vague references and blurry pictures.
Oh.I thought there were no pictures because no one bothered to take any.
How many pictures of a shooting or the momement of collision in an automobile accident have been captured on cell cameras? About none, yet we know both occur.
Was the chalice looking thingie up on the shelf a rough personality to work with? 0_o
Nah, that was for after hours.
The aliens were attacking with BANANAS!
There are flying saucers and little green men and Eric Cartman getting an anal probe. And we faked the lunar landings.
There’s a crop circle thread currently active that I haven’t clicked on, but I’m sure it will solve all this controversy.
;)
And the fruit bats ate them and...how ya doin'? ;-)
“The exposure/disclosure of the subject . . . and springing it overtly onto the world’s populace is underway.”
Yeah, the network news piece a couple of years back was a big change on this topic.
“Almost everyone has a cell phone that is capable of taking pictures and or video and nobody caught the hovering image at O’hare?”
Actually there were reports at the time that a ground crew member had pics, but they never appeared in public, in any event. Based on projected altitude, only a small number of folks (ground crew/atc/some pilots) would have been able to look up high enough to see the object, the angle up was too high for terminal passengers to see it, at least without placing their face against the glass in the terminals it might have been possible from, something they had no reason to.
Given the number of apparent professional pilots and others who would be considered expert witnesses in terms of viewing objects in the sky on any other topic, the ORD event was certainly interesting. Even on FR, not many people tried the character-assassination approach on the witnesses.
I’ll check the link.
Last I heard, Klass was still sounding like an idiot government shill.
Unless I’m mixing blokes up.
There was something about it at the Aztec 2008 March Symposium but it was amidst a bunch of other stuff. I don’t know if it’s in my notes, or not. I’ll try and check.
I’m certain there were at least 12 clusters or so of people looking at it in the parking lot. And there may have been 20 something. And there were several cameras sighted being used.
Supposedly one or two were slated to share their photos but I’ve never seen such. I don’t know what happened with such plans.
Klass is still clueless.
There have been quite unusual implants extracted and analyzed.
There are more than 3,000 trace elements cases scientifically verified etc. etc. etc.
Klass is still clueless or a well paid government shill.
The recent Larry King interviews with such as Dr Edgar Mitchell—6th man on the moon . . . have been much more of a sea change.
Yeah. That was kind of interesting to see above average FR respect for those witnesses.
What’s in Burbank and Palmdale?
Shouldn’t it be “UFT”? ;’) Thanks Quix.
UNIDENTIFED FLYING TARGETS???
UFT???
DOH,
THE THREAD TITLE! I see it now.
I should go to bed!
“hovering for several minutes”
Long enough to get your cell camera out.
I keep a camera in my car for that specific reason. Well, that and bigfoot.
Klass is dead, as dead as the brains of believers in flying saucers.
Not at an airport where one will be arrested for using a camera.
There are a lot of photographs and movies of UFOs. There is even a film made in the 50s of several objects in a V formation flying behind the US Capital building. That film has been shown to be be legitimate.
What a slick personally assaultive post.
BTW, my relative who worked around the craft with some famous physicists was certainly far from brain dead.
Are you calling me a liar?
True. That film is legitimate.
Wormhole traveling space monsters don’t exist.
I’m skeptical about wormhole travel, as well.
Reportedly there are 3-4 DIFFERENT ways around the speed of light issue.
And whether one understands that the critters are
watchers/fallen angels/ nephilium/ ET’s . . .
the label probably doesn’t make a great deal of difference . . .
I’m not even sure it makes a great deal of difference whether they come from a spiritual dimension and/or distant galaxies etc.
They are here.
They’ve been here for evidently millenia.
They are in cahoots with satan to establish the global government predicted in The Bible and which will be horrific tyranny.
If someone doesn’t believe that basic outline . . . then they haven’t been paying the least bit of attention with the least bit of fair-mindedness.
Or, perhaps they are terminally poorly read and have no reliable folks in their social network who’ve ever worked in the field.
They do in many Hollywood investment accounts.
Yes and no.
Will try and elaborate when I get back from errands.
The info he learned in his job fit well such Biblical scenarios.
He also believes similarly.
I spoke in general terms of the psychological makeup of those who believe that aliens traveled gazillions of miles just to vandalize farmland with graffiti, to obsess with the sphincters of only one species during their REM stages, and to collude specifically with the Catholics.
And how could I possibly call you liar over hearsay? ;)
60 years of bad luck and bad timing. Yep, that’s the ticket.
Timing is everything!
How many pictures of a shooting or the momement of collision in an automobile accident have been captured on cell cameras? About none, yet we know both occur.
A collision in an accident doesn’t occur over several minutes.
