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?

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.
