UFO Over O'Hare !?!

ohare-van-doorThe Chicago Tribune is reporting that on November 7th, several United Airlines employees, including some pilots, reported seeing a UFO hovering over gate C17 at O'Hare Airport. (Don't forget to use Bug-Me-Not kids.) Witness descriptions vary between 6' to 24' in diameter and some say the saucer was spinning as it floated stationary below the low hanging clouds at 4:30 in the afternoon. FAA officials initially denied knowledge of the event, but after a Tribune Freedom Of Information Act request, said the event was most likely a weather phenomenon (a combination of low-hanging clouds, airport lights and dusk), Mulder and Scully won't be headed out to O'Hare anytime soon.

O'Hare controller and union official Craig Burzych points out the real storyline about the UFO sighting; "To fly 7 million light years to O'Hare and then have to turn around and go home because your gate was occupied is simply unacceptable."
