On Nov. 7, during the late-afternoon rush at Chicago’s bustling O’Hare International Airport, something truly astonishing happened. Pilots, managers and mechanics looked up from their ground positions at the United Airlines terminal and saw an odd, disc-shaped object hovering silently overhead, just below the overcast.

Some minutes later, with many eyes now fixated on it, the wingless vehicle shot straight up at an incredible speed and was gone, leaving a crisp hole through the clouds with blue sky visible at the top.

It was definitely not an airplane, or any known craft, witnesses said, many of them shaken by what they saw.

“I immediately called our operations center to confirm the sighting and the Federal Aviation Administration was contacted while I drove to the other concourse to talk to the witnesses,” a United management employee wrote for a National Unidentified Flying Object Reporting Center (NUFORC) investigation.

With NUFORC’s input, Chicago Tribune transportation reporter Jon Hilkevitch broke the story in January, which then leapt onto national television news. “The witness credibility is beyond question,” says Hilkevitch, who has spoken to dozens of witnesses.

The FAA and United Airlines initially denied knowing anything about the incident, but taped calls and other evidence revealed their communications about it when it occurred.

1. Maybe it was one of those Chinese pigeons they've got flying on remote control. nt

[Joanne98]

3. I think we're sure it wasn't a Chinese pigeon

:)

[valerief]

9. Just trying to tie in today's pigeon story. On a serious note, I don't

dismiss what people claim they saw. I trust regular people a whole lot more than the military-industrial complex.

[Joanne98]

13. They were pilots. I'd say that's trustworthy.

2. God playing Ultimate Frisbee with other gods?

:shrug:

4. I'm no tinfoilhatter, BUT . . .

. . . the more I hear about this story, the more something smells very fishy. I think people saw something - and it wasn't a "weather phenomenon."

[Joanne98]

6. It's amazing how the system is setup to stop any "talk" about this..

The pilots are especially put under pressure. I wonder what they're scared of?

[donco6]

7. I dunno, probably losing their license.

I suppose one report like this on your record and you're suspect forever. Which is a powerful tool for someone to use, should they have something to hide.

[Joanne98]

12. Yay. I know what the pilots are scared of. But what are the authorities

afraid of. They don't what people talking about this. Why?

[donco6]

15. Like I said, this incident is a truly bizarre one.

Too many saw it. It was in too busy a location. It didn't happen at night. And yet, we actually can find LESS and LESS information about it! Nothing about it makes any sense. Except that something DID happen.

[WI_DEM]

5. enough credible people saw something. The only question is what was the something?

UFO is correct--an unidentifed flying object, but that doesn't necessarily mean it was from outer space.

[Joanne98]

8. Some people think they have bases in the ocean. USO's...

Unidentified Submerged Objects. The ocean is still very mysterious. We know more about space than what's on the ocean floor.

[donco6]

11. True, but we can eliminate a lot of typical terrestrial things.

Clouds? Uh Uh. That's what they're trying to claim it was, but it doesn't make any sense at all.

[truth2power]

14. Maybe extraterrestrial, or

coulda been one of ours. Anti-gravity vehicle. :shrug:


edit> BTW...Last week on Boston Legal, one of the sub-plots concerned the O'Hare incident.
