O'Hare International Airport UAP 2006

On November 7, 2006, approximately 12 United Airlines employees at O'Hare International Airport simultaneously observed a metallic saucer-shaped disc hovering below the 1,900-foot overcast cloud layer over United Gate C-17 in Terminal C. The witnesses included mechanics, ramp workers, and United Airlines pilots who were in the area. The disc hovered for approximately 5 minutes, completely stationary. It then shot straight upward at high speed, punching a circular hole in the cloud layer through which blue sky was visible — a physical hole that closed over the following minutes. The FAA initially denied having any radar contact. The Chicago Tribune filed FOIA requests and obtained FAA radio communications showing that O'Hare tower had been contacted about the sighting. The Tribune published the story in January 2007, generating national and international media coverage. The FAA and USAF both stated they had no explanation. The physical evidence of a hole in the cloud layer was described by multiple independent witnesses.
