On November 7, 2006, several United Airlines employees reported seeing a UFO hovering above Gate C17 at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Based on eyewitness reports, the sighting occurred sometime between four and four thirty in the afternoon (central time). The witnesses may have included a ramp worker, an aircraft mechanic, one or more pilots and some passengers waiting to board planes.
The UFO was described as a dull grey disc-shaped object which might have been twenty to thirty feet in diameter. That is a classic description and size for most daylight disc sightings. According to the witnesses that saw it depart, the disc moved upward at an incredible speed leaving a ‘hole’ in the cloud cover which was at about 19,000 feet on that day.
To understand what happened at O’Hare on that day, I contacted a friend. To assure his anonymity, I’ll call him Bob. I have known Bob since 1988. In the spring of that year there were a number of UFO sightings above and near both LaGuardia and JFK Airports in New York City. I first became aware of these when NYC Fire Fighters contacted me. Working out of a Fire House near LaGuardia, they had a habit of sitting in lawn chairs on the roof when things were slow and the weather was nice.
The Fire Fighters began to notice strange objects that seemed to come in from the west and travel through the LaGuardia airspace. These objects were cigar-shaped and had a dull gray color. This went on for several days. One of the Fire Fighters called the airport, but they blew him off and said nothing like that had been reported. Frustrated, they called me after seeing my UFOS Over Long Island cable TV show.
After mentioning the sightings during a guest spot on WABC Talk Radio, I received a call from two excellent sources. One was an Air Traffic Controller and the other was Bob. I later met the Controller in person. After I was satisfied that he was an Air Traffic Controller working in the NYC area, we talked. He told me that the objects hadn’t been tracked by him, but that calls came into his work area about the unidentified objects on several occasions. These were passed on to the FAA since no immediate threat to aircraft in the area could be discerned.
Bob spoke with me on the phone a few times before we met for lunch in suburban New Jersey. He was an experienced military and civilian pilot. More importantly, Bob worked as an Aviation Security Consultant. He made it clear that it would be impossible for him to say anything about what he did or didn’t learn about the UFO phenomenon while in the Military. However, he agreed to brief me on procedures and practices that the FAA and Airlines had in place for dealing with UFO sightings. His descriptions were cautious and carefully worded.
“Nothing ever happens with known aircraft in the sky that the FAA doesn’t know or find out about,” he began. “If an experimental aircraft was scheduled to enter and pass through New York City airspace, they would be told as far in advance as regulations and procedures might allow. A log entry would be created.” Bob indicated that he would have access to that information and that no such entry existed for the dates in question.
Bob explained that the best way to approach the Fire House sightings was to eliminate what the guys didn’t see before thinking about what they did see. After working with me for almost three weeks, he eliminated most every logical explanation including weather phenomenon. Bob had a knack for attention to detail and loved throwing charts, graphs, weather reports and statistics at me to prove his point. Based on all that and my own investigation, we concluded that the objects were unidentified and probably under some sort of intelligent control.
I speak with Bob on the phone a few times a year. When I decided to take a look at the O‘Hare sighting, I gave him a call. Although he has no personal knowledge about this matter beyond what has been reported online, Bob is always more than helpful when it comes to understanding UFO sightings involving pilots, airports and aircraft. He agreed to allow me to record our phone conversation and use a few quotes:
“People believe when something strange is spotted over an airport, all kinds of alarms go off. That’s not the case, “he began. “There are federal, state and local agencies that have jurisdiction over airports in the United States. They make sure those facilities are safe and operate efficiently. Contingency plans are in place to handle emergencies based on the big picture. That picture doesn’t include anything out of the ordinary. A UFO hovering over the airport would be an example of something not included in those plans.”
“Nothing flies without Federal Government permission. Nothing happens at the Airport unless federal, state and local governments, airlines, employees and unions can agree on what should happen, when and how. Nothing works at an Airport without the cooperation of the Airlines. They can’t get a single aircraft off the ground without the cooperation of their employees. That’s the pecking order. It’s not a process designed to immediately cope with unexpected situations.”
Evidence of the truth in Bob’s statements to me can easily be seen by the reactions to the eyewitnesses that called to report their UFO sightings at O‘Hare. Those reactions ranged from laughter to a complete a disregard for the witnesses and the situation they were reporting. This one wasn’t in the playbook, so it was going to be ignored until it could be ignored.
The National UFO Reporting Center was the first (as far as I know) to report this situation and they did so based on an eyewitness report filed with that organization. The report appeared on their website about a week after the sighting. That may seem like an unreasonable amount of time for the release of such important information, but I’m sure they just wanted to be certain this wasn’t some hoax or silly prank. And from a practical investigative standpoint, it just takes time to verify something like that. I’m sure almost everyone they called from the Government Agencies to the Airlines had no interest in seeing this go public.
Agencies like the FAA and the TSA still adhere to the time-proven practice of pleading ignorance, denial or just stalling when it comes to any inquiries. Even Freedom of Information requests have limited value. There isn’t a federal employee out there that doesn’t know whatever they put down on paper may come back to haunt them. That’s why many UFO Researchers depend on eyewitnesses and whistleblowers to get the most valuable and reliable information about any sighting or encounter.
Pilots, people that work at Airports and those who live nearby tend to be the best UFO witnesses. That’s because they are used to seeing things fly around the sky all day and night. When something really different comes along, they can spot it right away. That is a simple and logical conclusion to draw and one being ignored by the news media. I guess it’s just easier for them to pretend that the O’Hare UFO Sighting never happened, then to investigate the situation or try and explain it.
My own paranormal investigations have taught me something that might explain their apathy. No matter how credible the source may be, a piece of information is only as good as people’s ability to believe it. After years of government denial and belittling of credible UFO witnesses, many reporters think that there just isn’t any proof that we’re being visited by beings from other worlds. They probably lack the confidence in their own abilities to try and convince the public otherwise. Even if a UFO landed on their front lawn, an Alien came out and asked for directions to O’Hare, I doubt most news people would believe their own eyes.

Now that’s quite odd. An atheist believes there is no evidence there is a god or other myth-faith-based entities, but somehow believes that UFO’s transport aliens and other pseudo-stuff. Rather strange!
Statistically speaking there must be life in the Universe other than just here on Earth, but science does not work that way. Logically speaking there is certainly enough metal, gas and other elements in the Universe to support the possible existence of celestial flying objects if and only if they were made by some intelligent body, but to claim as truth that UFO’s are celestial in nature is not how philosophy works. Realistically speaking some (even some atheists) may claim to have seen UFO’s, or to hold the belief that there are UFO’s, but does not necessarily express identifying them as celestial in origin.
The so-called alien autopsy is most likely a hoax. Once a UFO has been identified, it is no longer a UFO. No UFO has yet been identified as celestial in origin, because by its very definition it is unidentified. A 1:1 probability that there is life in the universe outside the Earth is only good math, and so does not in itself add to conclude what is necessary to show that UFO’s may be celestial in nature, nor does it add to conclude that aliens are visiting us. The fact that iron and rock and other real stuff on Earth comes from and actually IS (initially blown to pieces but then resettled) star-stuff should not lead to the belief in UFO’s being alien visitations. The notion that the vastness of the universe entails UFO’s or alien visits to this planet is like saying that since so many believe in a god that at least one god must be real. Speculation that some object traveling through space that may have carried to this planet some form of micro-life that was then able to flourish into all life as we know it is at this point highly speculative.
Additionally, believing in UFO’s is not the same as believing in a god or something else which could not be real. The reason why, is because UFO’s can be identified. It would mean that they would no longer be unidentified, but then identifying UFO’s should be the ideal behind studying UFO’s. UFO’s could be real, and so could be shown to be real, unlike the imaginary-stuff that is god. However, similar to the belief in a god, the belief that aliens are visiting us is not yet necessary to suggest further inquiry. The belief that some strange light-in-the-sky may be alien in origin is logically similar to the belief that the bright light some claim to see in near death experiences must have emanated from a god or some so-called afterlife.
There is no god or no Santa Claus and there are no fairies or monsters; the Earth is roughly round and not flat and UFO’s are ONLY so-called flying objects that have not yet been identified. Like the belief in a god, I welcome evidence to support the notion that UFO’s are alien visitations. Until then, they are both myths that have been considered and contemplated well-enough. To recap, UFO’s are unidentified flying objects and so do not show so-called alien visitations.

Extraterrestrial life does exist. We know this from the mathematics. There are so many stars that are like our own that reason dictates that in some solar system, not unlike our own, in some galaxy, not very much unlike our own, somewhere in this vast universe, there most certainly is life of some kind or another, but life absolutely. There is no reasonable argument against that point of view. Most every astronomer on the face of this Earth will bet his last dollar that the aforementioned statement is the truth. That’s plenty good enough for me and should be plenty good enough for anyone else.
Now, does that mean that any of these “aliens” have come calling at our doorstep? It most certainly does not. There is no evidence that can not be refuted in any of a hundred different ways to prove that we have been contacted by any form of life that did not find it’s origin on this planet. None of any kind whatsoever.
Any number of people can and have said that they were an eyewitness to the antics of some extraterrestrial vehicle flying through our airspace or having landed out in their fields. Ask anyone who investigates crimes or these types of sightings for a living and they will be quick to tell you that there is often times nothing worse than having an eyewitness. Eyesight can fail, or can be tricked relatively easily. If you doubt this statement watch a really talented magician at work sometime soon and see for yourself. That should make the point unless, of course, you are in the minority of people that believe that David Blaine or Chriss Angel really can levitate.
Physical evidence is key to proving the existence of such encounters as I have just alluded to in the paragraph above. However, none exists. That’s right, none. Crop circles have been proved to be work of industrious, albeit, inconsiderate people. Yeah, people. Just like you or me. Only they seem to have a lot more time on their hands.
Throughout the history of U.F.O. sightings not one person has ever managed to liberate a piece of “alien” debris and make it public. Not one picture exists anywhere that shows, without question, a craft or a being that can stand up to scrutiny and the history of these sightings is a very, very long one, indeed. Of all the abductees that have come forward through the years not one has been able to prove his or her case beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Of all the, so called, U.F.O. researchers that are hard at work trying to break the real story of the U.F.O. conspiracy, not one has anything to offer that doesn’t fall into the realm of speculation. Stanton Friedman, who has worked in this capacity for a very, very long while now, has no more to offer us in the way of concrete evidence than he did when he started. The “Majestic Twelve” papers are laughable on their face. His investigation into the Roswell incident proved nothing except that the government wanted to keep “Project Mogul” under wraps and put out a few too many cover stories than were really needed. There is a complete and utter vacuum of evidence to support that claim that the “aliens” are among us.
Believe me when I tell you that no one would be happier than I would to get a look at what life from another planet might look like. I’d love the chance to understand any technology that would make interstellar flight a viable possibility for mankind. But, as Carl Sagan once said – and I’m paraphrasing here – “I’ll believe when I’m close enough to them to read the license plates”. The “aliens” may get here someday, they truly might, but I’m certain that none of us will be here to greet them when they arrive.
