Very interesting report. Strange how the FAA seems to be confirming it, yet united deny they have anything?

Just watched the video, think its one of the first I have seen on a news channel treating the UFO subject on an even keel. Thanks for posting.

There is a link to the video on the first page. Be warned though, it uses Windows Media Player

This is a very credible case, and the fact that it's hit mainstream media is especially compelling.

Here's a link to the All Things Considered/NPR piece on the sighting:

We'll try to get Peter Davenport from NURC on The Paracast soon to address more details.

Cool, the first "big" citing of 2007, even though it took place last year! I wonder if anyone snapped a pic?

If anyone finds video from the biggies (MSNBC, CNN) let us know!

I find the FAA's response frustrating, but predictable. "A weather phenomenon"? This explanation is a bit insulting to the witnesses who in this case (especially the pilot and to a lesser degree the ground crew) deal with the weather directly on a daily basis. These were not individuals unaccustomed to observing the skies. It is also generally accepted in ufology that pilots are discouraged from reporting UFOs so the fact that these witnesses came forward adds credence to their testimony in my opinion.

I believe Stanton Friedman often comments (I'm paraphrasing) that one man's testimony can send another to prison while thousands of UFO witnesses testimony is brushed aside with ease.

Looks like 2007 is off to an interesting start:

This event had some radio hosts in my area talking about it which was odd to find out about. Strange how some cases breakthrough and others don't. Last big US ufo sighting that broke through really well was Pheonix Arizona and unfortunately, the actual ufo was hardly dealt with over the "flare" decoy vids. At least the last one in the US that comes to my mind.

The video wouldn't work for me. Was it just of a news report? There's no video of the ufo, correct?

Rumor has it that there is a witness with a photo, however is not wanting to come forth. Reportedly Peter Davenport is working on it.

All the related videos I've seen are just news footage with some generic shots of O'Hare - no UFO footage - though I think one clip did have a still from the Phoenix Lights case in it.

It would be beneficial if when cases like this to break through to the mainstream news that the media included or referred to reputable cases.

In cryptozoology, whenever Nessie hits the front page they still whip out the hoaxed surgeon's photo.
