UFOs In the News
Several readers have let us know about a report on MSNBC that France's space agency has announced plans to publish its archive of UFO sightings in a month or so. The archive includes some 6,000 reports relating to around 1,600 incidents over 30 years. In a separate development, many readers have sent in word of the reported UFO that at least six United Airlines workers saw over Chicago's O'Hare International Airport last November. National Public Radio picked up the story with an interview with the Chicago Trib reporter who wrote about it yesterday. United is, strangely, denying that any such incident was ever brought up. The FAA admits there was an incident but is not investigating it.
I on duty that night. I did not see anything. I do know the people who claimed they saw the UFO. All of them together do not possess enough mental energy to warm a cup of tea. Just because "pilots" claimed they saw it does not make it so. Knowing many pilots, I would not fly on their plane if they were the last flight out of hell! The City of Chicago was installing new lights at the United terminals and I would bet that was the source of the UFO. They are VERY bright. So bright the FAA tower complained and they had to be re-aimed. If they were looking for intelligent life, they would not find it at United Airlines. How come UFO's never appear at Havard or MIT? It is always some half-baked nimrod who thinks drinking Schlitz is "worldly".
