An UFO event over O’Hare International Airport happened on November 7th but is only now making the major news media. Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center<\/a> gave a report on November 15th on the Coast to Coast radio show<\/a> but I missed it.<\/p>\n

A saucer or elliptical shaped object was initially spotted hovering at approximately 1000 to 1500 feet by an United Airlines employee at gate C-17. It was witness by around a dozen United Airlines employees.<\/p>\n

What makes this sighting particularly interesting is that it was witnessed by around a dozen United Airlines employees (a number of which were pilots and very familiar with aircraft), it was a daytime sighting, and it left by accelerating rapidly straight up through the cloud deck at 1900 feet (1500 feet by some accounts), punching a hole in the clouds in the process. The description is close to what I saw 38 years ago and that adds some personal experience.<\/p>\n

The FAA tower manager says that it was a weather phenomena,<\/p>\n

“Our theory on this is that it was a weather phenomenon,” she said. “That night was a perfect atmospheric condition in terms of low [cloud] ceiling and a lot of airport lights. When the lights shine up into the clouds, sometimes you can see funny things. That’s our take on it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is laughable in light of the fact that the sighting was a daytime sighting. Anybody wanna buy a bridge? How about some Arizona beach-front property?<\/p>\n
