I think one side of E concourse is the only place people MIGHT have been able to see 1500 feet above C concourse, IF they put their face on the glass and looked almost straight up.

It sounds like a tired joke--but a group of airline employees insist they are in earnest, and they are upset that neither their bosses nor the government will take them seriously.

The "U" part of "UFO" frequently refers to aircrafts well known to man. All it means is that American ground control doesn't have the transponder data.

He didn't see no star to wish on in this part of the universe. Took a beeline for greener pastures....
Nah... He caught a glimpse of the "smartest woman in the universe" and had to head straight for the bathroom to avoid staining his on-board rug! ;-P
Maybe the space aliens will take one look at our national politics and decide we're ripe for invasion, hehehe.
Was that the flight heading out from the east coast?

Of course this was when Clintoon was president and even someone as lowly as an intern had to worry about 'arkancide'...

It won't be long now before you do. Buckle up!

The big ship's coming for Farakan, though I would have thought it would have settled over Midway. It's closer to his South Side base.
