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.
A flying saucerlike object hovered low over O'Hare International Airport for several minutes before bolting through thick clouds with such intense energy that it left an eerie hole in overcast skies, said some United Airlines employees who observed the phenomenon.

Thank you! I thought of hawks, but they didn't circle, and when they left they really left! No fooling around, just a straight line departure! But I really hope they were hawks!

"Sure they will. We just won't find out about it. It's not wise to admit to the public that we can't control our airspace. I would expect them to find out how to capture one before an enemy does and then use the technology to our advantage. It would be a state secret."
You are correct. When I was in the ADA (Air Defense), the 'unspoken' rule was, "IF we can't control it, the problem does not exist".
AND the guvment has already been using UFO/alien technology. As an Eng/tech for over 30 yrs, yeah there are a LOT of devices that have 'suddenly' appeared without any (for lack of a better word) 'evolution'. Read 'The Day After Roswell', then read the one about the crash in Missouri before WWII, and about a dozen other books out there.
regards

Have you ever read about Edgar Cayce? In his trances he talked about reincarnation, even though (I think) he was a Christian. Anyway - he thought there were a finite # of souls - and that while there may be life in many forms out there in the universe - they were nothing without the souls. He said that the souls sort of migrate as a group, experiencing different kinds of lives as they go. I would always think of bugs when I read this - how they might swarm onto an apple tree for a while, use it up, then move on to something else. Requires a whole 'nother belief in something we have no proof of - souls - but could explain the lack of proof of ET's - only one place at a time is occupied by the life that has souls. Probably couldn't be further from the mind of Fermi - but interesting.

Are you referring to the vid of the Chicago Trib reporter or is there footage of the UFO?

Thanks for the considered response. Yes, I'm familiar with E.C. But Cayce just made up a little story, and that's fine, we all do it. But there is zero cause to expect one's story to be the truth. Imo, the story is probably beyond what we can grasp. Like an ant can't grasp who the big guys walking around all over the place are. 'Course, that's just my story. Say, your not my buddy, Youngman, are you?

This was on the front page of this mornings Chicago Tribune. I find it interesting that all the witnesses / evidence is ignored by the TSA.

Sounds, then, like you need a larger frame of reference. I like to read books by men such as Gordon Cooper who've done and seen extraordinary things, because it gives me a larger frame of reference. Cooper's autobiography, "Leap of Faith," is mostly about his life and very little about UFOs. That it had anything about them
at all came as a big surprise to me. Yet books like his, news reports like this, are enough to open sensible minds to the uselessness of knee-jerk skeptics who howl with derision at individuals they willfully mislabel "believers."
Of course, there's always the chance that Gordon Cooper, these airline employees, my husband and his former-Marine son (the two Republicans I was telling you about) are lying just because they love to make fools of other people. But it's not consistent in any context.
Easily consistent is the inexperienced, incurious, and insecure type who goes temporarily insane when his/her tidy assumptions about reality are upset. Denial is swift.
It cracks me up that sceptics are whining that none of these working people in their aviation day-jobs was carying a camera cel-phone or digital camera. Of course if one or several had, these same critics with the same solid conviction would be debunking the photos as frauds and rolling their eyes at the "coincidence" of one or more people oh-so-conveniently having cameras when this occurred!
