Airline employees report UFO over Chicago airport

Published: Tuesday, January 02, 2007
CHICAGO (AP) -- U.S. officials said it was probably just some weird weather phenomenon but a group of United Airline employees swear they saw a mysterious, saucer-shaped craft hovering over O'Hare Airport last fall.

The workers, some of them pilots, said the object didn't have lights and hovered over an airport terminal before shooting up through the clouds, said a report in yesterday's Chicago Tribune newspaper.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration acknowledged a United supervisor had called the control tower at O'Hare, asking if anyone had spotted a spinning disc-shaped object. But the controllers didn't see anything and a preliminary check of radar found nothing out of the ordinary, FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said.

At least one O'Hare controller, union official Craig Burzych, was amused by it all.

"To fly seven million light years to O'Hare and then have to turn around and go home because your gate was occupied is simply unacceptable," he said.

1. Who says they flew 7 million light yrs? I reject that premise.

2. The air traffic controllers at ORD are not to be messed with.

ORD Ground probably sent the UFO to the "penalty box."
