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.

The FAA is not conducting a further investigation, Cory said. The theory is the sighting was caused by a "weather phenomenon," she said.
...
"I tend to be scientific by nature, and I don't understand why aliens would hover over a busy airport," said a United mechanic who was in the cockpit of a Boeing 777 that he was taxiing to a maintenance hangar when he observed the metallic-looking object above Gate C17.
"But I know that what I saw and what a lot of other people saw stood out very clearly, and it definitely was not an [Earth] aircraft," the mechanic said.
One United employee appeared emotionally shaken by the sighting and "experienced some religious issues" over it, one co-worker said.
Well? Are they wrong?

I think they saw something that would scare most any of us. Haven't a clue what it was, except I don't suppose it was the departing flight 2111 for Mars.
Wish I'd seen it!

No doubt there is some natural explanation that doesn't involve Kang & Kronos, or the Greys -- whoever they are.
With all of the security cameras scattered about airports these days, you'd think that at least one of them might have caught this event.

Nope. It was a strange craft indeed!

Several minutes, and still no one has come forward with photos of it?

No wide angle lenses on top of buildings? I don't spend a lot of time at airports -- read: none -- but if I were doing security, there'd certainly be some. Hell, even Wal-Mart has them in their parking lots.
I think that this one will fit nicely into standard, UFO legend: "We seen it, but it ain't there no more! Them aylians skedaddled in a hurry!"

| UFO at a busy airport and no one had a digital camera in a carry on bag? Now that is the strange phenomenon, screw the ufo lets investigate these witnesses. Clearly, they are from another planet. |

Abso-freakin'-lutely.
When a talentless nobody gets out of cab with no underwear on, there are dozens of photo's to choose from, but thousands of people in an airport can't provide a single usable image of a phenomenon which lasted "several minutes". Right.
I just did an (admittedly brief) google images search, and couldn't find anything of import. |
John's just this guy, you know. |
