Unidentified Flying Threats (UFOs)
New York Times ^ | July 29, 2008 | Nick Pope

ON the afternoon of Nov. 7, 2006, pilots and airport employees at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago saw a disc-like object hovering over the tarmac for several minutes. Because nothing was tracked on radar, the Federal Aviation Administration did not investigate. Yet radar is not a reliable detector of all aircraft. Stealth planes are designed to be invisible to radar, and many radar systems filter out signals not matching the normal characteristics of aircraft. Did it really make sense to entirely ignore the observations of several witnesses?

On Dec. 26, 1980, for instance, several witnesses at two American Air Force bases in England reported seeing a U.F.O. land. An examination of the site turned up indentations in the ground and a level of radiation in the area that was significantly higher than ordinary. More witnesses at the same base reported the U.F.O. again on subsequent nights. The deputy base commander reported that the aircraft aimed light beams into the most highly sensitive area of the base — a clear security breach.

There are flying saucers and little green men and Eric Cartman getting an anal probe. And we faked the lunar landings.

There’s a crop circle thread currently active that I haven’t clicked on, but I’m sure it will solve all this controversy.

“The exposure/disclosure of the subject . . . and springing it overtly onto the world’s populace is underway.”

Yeah, the network news piece a couple of years back was a big change on this topic.

“Almost everyone has a cell phone that is capable of taking pictures and or video and nobody caught the hovering image at O’hare?”

Actually there were reports at the time that a ground crew member had pics, but they never appeared in public, in any event. Based on projected altitude, only a small number of folks (ground crew/atc/some pilots) would have been able to look up high enough to see the object, the angle up was too high for terminal passengers to see it, at least without placing their face against the glass in the terminals it might have been possible from, something they had no reason to.

Given the number of apparent professional pilots and others who would be considered expert witnesses in terms of viewing objects in the sky on any other topic, the ORD event was certainly interesting. Even on FR, not many people tried the character-assassination approach on the witnesses.

I’ll check the link.

Last I heard, Klass was still sounding like an idiot government shill.

Unless I’m mixing blokes up.

There was something about it at the Aztec 2008 March Symposium but it was amidst a bunch of other stuff. I don’t know if it’s in my notes, or not. I’ll try and check.

I’m certain there were at least 12 clusters or so of people looking at it in the parking lot. And there may have been 20 something. And there were several cameras sighted being used.

Supposedly one or two were slated to share their photos but I’ve never seen such. I don’t know what happened with such plans.

Klass is still clueless.

There have been quite unusual implants extracted and analyzed.

There are more than 3,000 trace elements cases scientifically verified etc. etc. etc.

Klass is still clueless or a well paid government shill.

The recent Larry King interviews with such as Dr Edgar Mitchell—6th man on the moon . . . have been much more of a sea change.

Yeah. That was kind of interesting to see above average FR respect for those witnesses.

“hovering for several minutes”

Long enough to get your cell camera out.

I keep a camera in my car for that specific reason. Well, that and bigfoot.

Klass is dead, as dead as the brains of believers in flying saucers.

Not at an airport where one will be arrested for using a camera.

There are a lot of photographs and movies of UFOs. There is even a film made in the 50s of several objects in a V formation flying behind the US Capital building. That film has been shown to be be legitimate.

What a slick personally assaultive post.

BTW, my relative who worked around the craft with some famous physicists was certainly far from brain dead.

Are you calling me a liar?
