United Airlines employees witness Alien Spacecraft in Chicago

Compiled by Greg Jones

Recently, there were several published reports including those on CNN, about Alien Spacecraft being sighted by United Airline personnel on November 7, 2006. Several employees of the company did confirm the observation of a saucer-like spacescraft. The spacecraft 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 the United Airlines employees who observed the phenomenon. The employees are now upset because appointed airline spokesmen are denying that the sighting took place.

Although air traffic controllers denied seeing anything unusual that day on the record, as many as 12 of United's employees have stated that the event did indeed occur. The strange thing is that even though United denies it, the Federal Aviation Administration said that the air traffic tower control tower did get a call from a supervisor at United asking them about the sighting. It only makes sense that if United was asking about the sighting, they had to get their knowledge of the event from someone, and would not that have been the 12 employees that saw it?

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.

Some said it looked like a rotating Frisbee, while others said it did not appear to be spinning. All agreed the object made no noise and it was at a fixed position in the sky, just below the 1,900-foot cloud deck, until shooting off into the clouds.

Witnesses shaken by sighting

"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.

"There have been documented cases where safety appears to have been implicated, and more and more we are coming to the point of view that we are dealing with an intelligent phenomenon," said Richard Haines, science director at the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena, a private agency.

"We must be proactive before an aircraft goes down," said Haines, a former chief of the Space Human Factors Office at NASA's Ames Research Center.

Haines is investigating the O'Hare incident. He said he has determined that no weather balloons were launched in the vicinity of O'Hare on Nov. 7.

"It's absurd that the military would be conducting aerial test flights" near the airport, Haines said.

All the witnesses to the O'Hare event, who included at least several pilots, said they are certain based on the disc's appearance and flight characteristics that it was not an airplane, helicopter, weather balloon or any other craft known to humankind.
