The Sighting
On November 7, 2006, at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois, an extraordinary event occurred near Gate C17. It was an overcast afternoon, and multiple witnesses observed an unusual object in the sky.
The Witnesses
The incident was witnessed by United Airlines pilots, mechanics, ramp workers, and other employees. At least 12 people, all aviation professionals, observed the phenomenon.
The Object
The UAP was described as a dark grey disc with a metallic appearance, measuring between 6 and 24 feet in diameter. It hovered silently in place, spinning slowly as witnesses observed it.
The Departure
The object’s departure was dramatic and instantaneous. It shot straight up at extremely fast speed, punching through the cloud layer above. Most remarkably, it left a circular hole in the clouds that remained visible for several minutes afterward.
The FAA Response
Despite the credible witnesses and remarkable nature of the incident, the Federal Aviation Administration declined to investigate. They dismissed the event as a “weather phenomenon,” citing no safety threat. No radar data was released, and the case was officially closed.
The Aftermath
The incident received significant public attention when the Chicago Tribune covered the story. This led to national media coverage and numerous FOIA requests. Witnesses expressed frustration with the lack of official investigation, and the event remains unexplained to this day.
