A big story has been breaking about United Airlines pilots and employees seeing a UFO at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport floating above Concourse C on November 7th. These reports are being followed by Jon Hilkevitch, a transportation writer at the Chicago Tribune (here’s video of a recent interview he did about it). The FAA is not going to investigate the sighting and is saying that it probably has to do with “weird weather”. Ah yes, the old “weather” excuse. Can’t they come up with something new?

Here’s more coverage of the O’Hare UFO sighting:

“In the sky! A bird? A plane? A … UFO?” (Jon Hilkevitch, Chicago Tribune)

“UFO Is Reported at O’Hare; Feds Are Silent” (NPR)

“FAA blames UFO report on weird weather” (CNN)

“Airline workers say they saw UFO” (MSNBC)

UFO over Chicago airport (Boing Boing)

Here are some other recent UFO recent from around the world:

“UFO ’seen burning up in sky’” (Moorhouse Close, Wellington, UK)

“People claim seeing a UFO in Istanbul” (Yenibosna, Istanbul, Turkey)

“UFO crash still a mystery” (Lephalale, South Africa)

UPDATE: Here are some Chicago O’Hare Airport UFO Art images .

They’re finally coming to pick us up and take us home.

By now it should be obvious to everyone who is paying attention that something about these sightings is being covered up. That they are evidence of extraterrestrial visitation is debatable; that they are being ridiculously underplayed by government agencies is not.

Of all the funny excuses you hear from official attempts to debunk the phenomenon, perhaps the funniest is, “If there was a conspiracy, there would have been leaks. You can’t cover up something like this.”

Darn tootin’ you can’t. They haven’t been able to, either.

Where are the pics? Who doesn’t have a picture phone, dig camera. We have cameras every where security cameras people on vacation,video phones, they are ubiquitous. Every thing odd becomes an x-file, and if you say it didn’t happen then it’s a cover up.

Yes, civilizations foreign to this planet have paid us visits in the past. Some technology was indeed retreived by the Air Force (cfr. colonel Philip Corso’s testimony), and during the 2nd half of the 20th century our corporate and military people have worked around the clock to study and then copy ufo-like craft. Covertly, that is. Now, 50 years later, our technology is virtually indistinguishable from the real deal. Which means our own government is now able to stage any attack apparently perpetrated by an alien hostile force. The appearance of UFO news in the mainstream media could well be the foreplay to such an attack.

Put in a freedom of information request for the radar images for that day, the news article states that the craft punched a hole in the clouds as it went straight up, therefore a hole should appear on the radar map for that day.

Everyone is taking these things too egocentrically. I am sure that we are being “visited”,but I doubt that it’s to save us or enslave us.Maybe there’s a wormhole here that connects to another one somewhere cloe by,and like any traveler, the aliens check out the local yokals during a layover. Maybe they’re offduty military types on leave, and we’re the nearest place to kill time. (They do behave much like half drunk sailors, wanting to stir up a little trouble, yet not enough to get their officers to notice-maybe there are standing orders to not bother the locals.) This could be the equivelent of our local drag stip where teens go to party and race their cars, and get a kick out of being a bit reckless.There are a lot of things we don’t know, and one guess is as good as another.
The fact is, they are not intending to make any meaningful contact with us that might cause a largescale change in our overall system. That may tell us more than we want to admit about how important we really are to them. Over the decades, maybe centuries, they have had plenty of chances to reveal themselves on a grand scale, and have chose not to. It doesn’t matter if they are here to teach new star pilots to navigate in a dense planetary atmosphere,hence all the purposeless flitting about,or they are methane miners taking a break from their toils on Jupitor, for some reason we are not to be formally aware of their presence. So one would gather that whatever their power structure is, someone(thing) higher on the food chain doesn’t want us underfoot with a bunch of silly time consuming questions and discusions. Ask any admiral how he really feels about the native population coming out to watch the troops train.
There have been too many sightings and contact(5percent of all reports would still be a lot)for there too be nothing at all. If we’re ever to know for sure what is going on, we will have too shoot down a ufo or capture one of them on the ground. They are never going to park on the White House lawn. The trick is to do it in such a way that we don’t p88s them off enough to shoot back.
So lets stop being chicken littles and worrying that they’re here to rob us of something,or worse, and get our scientific a88es in gear and solve this once and for all.(And no, they aren’t benevolent space brothers waiting for the right time to save either!)
The plan of action first and foremost should be to ignore the conspiricy-on-every-corner bunch, right along with the love-will-come-from-the-stars group, and maybe have the END-TIME-IS-NEAR herd locked up in a sanitairium while we’re at it, and put our collective minds to work on ways to go find these intruders.After all, they came into our space and are acting in ways that bother our citizens. That alone is reson enough for us to pressure the governments of Earth to put a stop to it, or at the very least, get some answers from somebody. Don in the border country

This story IS true. My husband is the supervisor who called the tower. He told me about it at the time of the occurrance. He was VERY concerned about this as well as being concerned that if he released this information he might be reprimanded in some way.

I really hope that as the technology improves, becomes more widespread and affordable, that somebody will soon video tape a close up of a real UFO. Hopefully this will happen within my life time.
