Disc-Shaped Object Sighted above O’Hare Airport Chicago, Illinois

On November 7th 2006 at approximately 4:30pm (Central US Time) Federal authorities at O’Hare Airport in Chicago Illinois received a report that a dozen witnesses were observing a small, round disc-shaped object which was metallic in appearance hovering above Gate C17. The object was first spotted by an employee who was working on the ramp, who was engaged in the “pushing back” Flight 446 that was due to depart for Charlotte, North Carolina.

The employee reported the object to his supervisors and told then that the object appeared to be almost directly above his location at Gate C17 he also told them that the object seemed to be perfectly round, and that the size was approximately equal to a US quarter, held at arms length. The object had a metallic appearance, according to the first witness and was spinning. The first witness contacted the flight crew of Flight 446 and told them about the object above their aircraft and the NUFORC (National UFO Reporting Centre) reports that both the Pilot and his First officer witnessed the bizarre object also. The witness proceeded and contacted his supervisors who also witnessed the strange unknown object, which was seen for around 2 minutes.

When the two minutes had elapsed the object was seen suddenly accelerating straight up at a very rapid speed and it “shot” through the solid overcast sky, which was at 1,900 feet at the time of the event. The witness added that the object appeared to leave a sort of hole in the clouds where it had broken through.

During this time a taxi mechanic was also witnessing the phenomena he reported that at around 4:30pm he heard a pilot made a comment on the radio about a circle or disc shaped object hovering over gate C-17. At first the witness thought it was a joke but then he overheard yet another pilot comment on the radio saying that the object was around 700 feet above ground level. At the time the witness was taxing a Boeing 777 from the International Terminal to the Company Hanger on the North side of the Airport. As he passed the C Terminal on the Alpha taxiway he observed a dark grey hazy round object hovering over the Airport. The witness firmly states that it was over the C terminal and was holding very steady and appeared to be trying to stay close to the cloud cover. The witness continued with his job and after parking he noticed the craft was no longer in the air but did notice an almost perfect circle in the cloud later were the craft had been. He reported to the NUFORC that the hole vanished a few minutes later.

The National UFO Reporting Centre who investigated this case said they were highly impressed with the witness’s credentials and they consider all witnesses to this event as “highly credible.”

I'll sound like a crazy ho, I know. But I absolutely believe in UFO's. I won't even begin to tell the story of why.

On that same note, I don't believe that aliens are some crazy green monster looking things, either, LoL. They probably look just like us with a few modifications.

I somewhat agree with your post. I believe there is other intellegent life in the universe, and I think they do probably look more like us then we realize, but I'm not totally convinced on the whole UFO thing. I think it is certainly possible, however, and that the USA Government knows a lot more about them then they are saying. There is no telling what kind of information the Government is hiding from us these days.

Well, I don't tell this story often, because people tend to think I'm crazy when I tell it, LoL. But I swear to you, with every bit of truth I have (unless I really AM crazy) that this happened.

Anyway, I was staying at my grandma's house. I was thirteen or fourteen, and my grandma lives in this small town in the middle of the country... think "Mayberry," LoL Anyway, it was the middle of the night and I was asleep on the couch. The phone rang, waking me up, and it was my aunt on the phone. As my grandma talked to her on the phone, I was sort of half awake/half asleep listening to my grandma yap her loud mouth while I was trying to sleep when I heard her suddenly go a little bit crazy. I raised up to find out what the hell was wrong, and I just saw her looking out the window. I turned around and looked out the window from the couch and I sh!t you not, there was a UFO, LoL. It was right across the road, hovering over the backyard of the house next door. It wasn't even that high in the air! I'd say, maybe 8 or 9 stories up? It didn't make any noise, it wasn't bright, it just hovered there. Me and my grandma were totally amazed and couldn't say a word while we were looking at it. My grandma was still on the phone with her sister and couldn't say a word, though I heard my aunt on the other side shouting, "What?!" I don't even remember how long it was there... couldn't have been more than a minute or so, and then it shot off out of sight in about .2 seconds. Literally, like the snap of a finger. When something takes off that fast, you'd imagine a loud noise, or at least a streak of smoke behind it, something... but there was nothing. It took off just as silently as it was as it was hovering there, and when it took off that fast I literally screamed, LoL. It scared the holy hoo-ha out of me!

My grandma and I spent the rest of the night awake on the phone telling everyone what we saw and to this day, nobody believes us. Oh well. At least I know I'm not crazy.

As for what they look like, I don't know. They're probably living right here among us, some of them, teaching us things about technology, etc. without us ever realizing who or what they are. And they couldn't do that if they looked like E.T.

They're here to kill us

I think UFO's are fascinating. I love the discussions of human life on other planets.

I believe you....there was an incident that happened near a town a few miles down the road from the town I live in here in Kentucky back about 15 or so years ago where someone saw a UFO. It made it to tv news in nearby Louisville, and made it sound like people around here were crazy.

Here is more on the story I talked about in my response to the previous post....

I live in Clarkson, KY (the 'nearby town' mentioned in about the middle of the article)...the city limits of Leitchfield (where the incident happened) and the city limits of Clarkson, touch each along one of the major highways going through the area. That's how close I am to where some of this stuff happened.

Excerpts From the "BLUEGRASS BULLETIN" and Other Anomalous Cases

KENTUCKY CASEFILES:

The "LEITCHFIELD LIGHTS"

As background for our study of the phenomena that took place near Leitchfield, Ky. during the early to mid 1980s, we're reprinting these excerpts from a 1992 article by Danny Brandenburg which appeared in "UFO Universe." After video of a bright light "flitting" around the skies of Grayson County was aired on Louisville TV, reporter Brandenburg drove to Leitchfield for an on-the-scene investigation. The following is his report.

Arriving in Leitchfield, I contacted the Leitchfield "News-Gazette" reporter Jeanna Carnes, who had written the original story published the day after the occurrence. Carnes told me the New-Gazette had received six or seven phone calls that night.

Afterwards, I went to the Leitchfield Police Station and spoke to the on-duty dispatcher who told me the department had logged several phone calls concerning the lights and had sent officers out to investigate. I asked for the Emergency 911 logs and found that Officer #104, Joe Brad Hudson, had been the closest to the light and had chased it a considerable distance.

I drove directly to the area the residents believed the main and brightest light to have been located. This is where I met Allan and Marlene Sheckles who first saw the light at about 10:00 p.m. after their neighbors, Roger and Julie Casey, contacted them. The Caseys had been watching it for just over and hour before calling the Sheckles. The couple described a blue "halogen-looking" light sitting stationary about 35 to 45 degrees above the eastern horizon. From time to time, explained Sheckles, there would also be some smaller red lights flashing on the object he described as being about two to three times brighter than Venus. He told me he had used his binoculars to view the light but could not see any features or apparent movement.

Over the next few days, I attempted to speak with Officer Hudson several times to no avail. Never would he return my calls. I was, nevertheless, able to piece together part of Hudson's story from television interviews and from information obtained at the police department.

About 15 minutes after the first call to the Leitchfield Police, Officer Hudson rushed down Highway 88 to meet the light. According to one interview, Hudson claimed he did indeed observe the object he described as hovering stationary over him. The officer explained the UFO was probably a weather balloon or an atmospheric distortion of Mars, a theory given to him by another caller to the police station. Even with such an explanation, Hudson appeared to have been very excited about the event. To him, apparently, the UFO did not seem at all a natural astronomical occurrence.

[brandenburg was unable to interview other 911 callers, Chris Lee and Tim Wilson, but did speak with Tina Hartlage, the first to contact the local police.]Hartlage claimed she and two of her children, Stacy and Jason spotted an object at about 8:45 p.m. Stacy saw it first, exclaiming, "Look, Mom, a UFO!" In response to her child's cry, Tina slowed the car, looked to the sky and replied, "Oh, my God, I can't believe it's real!" Tina described the rotating craft as "saucer and egg-shaped" with large windows, perhaps three, running from nearly the top to the bottom of the object. The "windows," which appeared only as white lights, seemed to be the only light source. She stopped the car to look at the object for a moment, it appeared to be descending in her direction and then [it] slowly moved away. "It was so close, you could see what it was. You didn't see just lights..."

Frightened, Tina locked the doors on her car and quickly left the scene, heading for the safety of her home where she called the police department. "The lady at the police station asked me if I could have mistaken the lights from an airplane. I lived by an airport for several years and used to watch them waiting to come in and land. What I saw was no airplane!" Hartlage, and her family, went back to the area almost an hour later and didn't see anything.

"When this first happened, my daughter and I had horrible migraines…that was one of the reasons I didn't want to be on camera to be interviewed [on TV] …the headaches were just so bad. Hartlage ended her story by saying, "People will think you're crazy. Ain't nobody gonna believe you unless they see it. There's nobody that can change my mind about what I saw. I know what I saw."

David and Mona Fulkerson heard about the sightings on their police scanner. With their video camera in hand, the Fulkersons went outside and began taping. They described the light as slowly rotating and changing colors from time to time. Their video, although of low quality, like most night videos, shows a white light bouncing quickly around the screen.

The Fulkersons' videotape was handed over to Officer Hudson who allowed Louisville television stations, WHAS and WAVE, to make copies. WAVE magnified the image of the UFO and distributed the video to other NBC affiliates. The police department later returned the tape to its owners.

The Fulkerson couple also mentioned that they heard another report over their police scanner that the Annetta Fire Department chased a light at 5:30 a.m. [the morning after the Leitchfield sightings.]

Austin Wooden, police chief of nearby Clarkson, claimed to have seen up to 20 lights moving randomly through the sky on two different occasions. Police Chief Wooden also described a "jumping and flitting motion." He noted that the largest of the lights was a round object that was changing colors….red, green, and light blue…. "It just kept dancing. It didn't go anywhere, it just moved back and forth."

After driving out in the country to get a better look, Wooden saw the other lights. "We noticed directly over the car about 20 more, but they were smaller. They were the same color and moved around just like the big one. Two of the small ones shot straight across the sky. They weren't falling stars, but it did only take a split second for them to cross the sky."

Leitchfield's police department made several calls to try to identify the UFO. Nearby Ft. Knox, the Indianapolis Flight Center, and the Bowling Green Airport all said they had no aircraft in the area and they simply had no information on the lights.

I spoke to many, many people while visiting Leitchfield and found that their stories, with the exception of a few minor details, all agreed. [Differences in witness vantage points] allow the object's location to be partially triangulated and indicate a relatively low altitude. This excludes a star or high-altitude weather balloon which should always be seen in the same direction.

Using computer calculations, Brandenburg also ruled out the bright planets as possible IFO's; Venus and Mars were below the horizon at the time of the reports, and Jupiter and Saturn, though visible, would have been seen in a part of the sky different from the UFO's position.]

There is still no conclusion on the identity of the lights, though there is clearly enough weight to the witnesses' reports to substantiate a very spectacular event. For now, the Leitchfield sightings are yet another mystery to add to the pages of UFO history.

I'll sound like a crazy ho, I know. But I absolutely believe in UFO's. I won't even begin to tell the story of why.

Well Kenny, I'll be a crazy ho right along with you because I absolutely believe in them as well.

Well, here's my incident. One night I an my roommate along with a bunch of other students in cars behind us were returning from partying at a club along a dirt word. Let me preface this by saying I dont drink Alcohol. It was around 4 am and the sky was overcast with clouds. Well, all of a sudden, it turned as bright as daylight. I slammed on the brakes and so did the 15 cars behind me because we looked up and we just saw this extreme light in the sky. It was unreal, it was an orb just in the sky, it was bright like the sun, except it was disk shaped. The daylight lasted for 15 seconds and then the orb, it disappeared further up into the sky and it turned back night. Now, people could chalk that up to all 20 of us being nuts, EXCEPT.......

It was seen in 4 different states. The news talked about it all day.

I totally believe in them as well. I don't know *how* we could be the only planet with inhabited life.

Back in college one night, I was driving from a boyfriends house and saw something round, just hovering over a big lake that I was passing on my way home. I slowed down and just watched and watched til it suddenly just zoomed off. It was amazing! My aunt and cousin, who are the most sane, logical people I know, also saw something just hovering above the water as it was slowly going down the river near my uncles cabin.....during the DAY, a couple of summers ago. They just sat there watching in awe, unable to move, until it took off. Neither could believe what they had just seen.

I find UFO stories so interesting, and the fact that goverment won't confirm sitings even more interesting.

They just sat there watching in awe, unable to move, until it took off.

That's how my experience was. I was just so amazed and floored and in awe that I couldn't move or speak until after it was gone. Same with my grandma, who left her sister on the phone just shouting, "What?! What?!"

I believe in them.

I'm still not sure whether aliens are the ones responsible for crop circles.

I believe in UFO's and little green men. So many people around the world have claimed to see them, and claimed to have been abducted by aliens whose descriptions pretty much match. It can't be a coincidence.
