[iconoclastic cat]

Reptillian #1: "So, are these jerkoffs going to vote for the Republicans again?"

Reptillian #2: "Don't worry. They'll drown soon."

In the sky! A bird? A plane? A ... UFO?

(snip)

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.

Officials at United professed no knowledge of the Nov. 7 event--which was reported to the airline by as many as a dozen of its own workers--when the Tribune started asking questions recently. But the Federal Aviation Administration said its air traffic control tower at O'Hare did receive a call from a United supervisor asking if controllers had spotted a mysterious elliptical-shaped craft sitting motionless over Concourse C of the United terminal.

All the witnesses said the object was dark gray and well defined in the overcast skies. They said the craft, estimated by different accounts to be 6 feet to 24 feet in diameter, did not display any lights.

(snip, and WTF? to this one: )

One United employee appeared emotionally shaken by the sighting and "experienced some religious issues" over it, one co-worker said.
