Fly the Friendly Skies
This is 2007. A great many things have faded into history, the dial phone, beta vcrs, record albums, manual car windows, and UFOs.
Maybe not UFOs. Cue the eerie space music:
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.
Was it an alien spaceship? A weather balloon lost in the airspace over the world’s second-busiest airport? A top-secret military craft? Or simply a reflection from lights that played a trick on the eyes?
Officials at United professed no knowledge of the Nov. 7 event–which was reported to the airline by as many as a dozen of its own workers–when the Tribune started asking questions recently. But the Federal Aviation Administration said its air traffic control tower at O’Hare did receive a call from a United supervisor asking if controllers had spotted a mysterious elliptical-shaped craft sitting motionless over Concourse C of the United terminal.
Several people saw the - dare I say - UFO.
The response from the guys in the tower in traffic control:
“To fly 7 million light years to O’Hare and then have to turn around and go home because your gate was occupied is simply unacceptable,” said O’Hare controller and union official Craig Burzych.
While it certainly challenges the imagination, it’s hard to believe that a dozen United personnel were all having the same delusion at the same time and before happy hour at that.
The sighting occurred during daylight, about 4:30 p.m., just before sunset.
All the witnesses said the object was dark gray and well defined in the overcast skies. They said the craft, estimated by different accounts to be 6 feet to 24 feet in diameter, did not display any lights.
Some said it looked like a rotating Frisbee, while others said it did not appear to be spinning. All agreed the object made no noise and it was at a fixed position in the sky, just below the 1,900-foot cloud deck, until shooting off into the clouds.

I report. You decide.
Was it a UFO, a UO, or no O at all? Uh-Oh.

November 7, huh? You don’t suppose it was Hastert being whisked away as Speaker, do you? Nah.
Maybe the angels are traveling by aircraft these days?
Since I believe only earth has life as we know it I guess it has to be something like that. Which brings us to the question of is there life anywhere other than earth? Who knows?

Kathy…& Jeanette…
“Was it a UFO, a UO, or no O at all? Uh-Oh”…
Well, DUH…Yes…if they couldn’t identify it them it was certainly a UFO !!!…
At first, I thought, “This proves it !!…there is NO GOD !!! It was Ancient Astronauts…and they come back to bring peace…’Right’ the ‘Wrongs’…maybe talk to Whales…maybe even destroy EVIL MAN…
But then, Jeanette reminded me…Denny Hastert is no longer ‘Speaker’…so that means there IS a GOD !!!…
I’m really confused…
And, BTW…what were all those Kansas wheat farmers doing at O’Hare, anyway…all on the same day…all saw the same UFO…
They could have stayed home and done that…and saved a lot of $$$ to boot…

Maybe it was all that hot air from Pelosi and gang and it evaporated, just like the promises the dems made during the 06 elections.

(BTW…to all you Liberals who just ‘happen’ to “Float by” HRP and read this…IT’S A JOKE !!…So, get your thumb out of your mouth and get over it !!)…

I found the news story interesting because if you had been watching FOX news after midnight on New Years eve there were like 3 people in the crowd telling the newscaster to look up that they had just seen something unidentified flying in the air however of course the FOX staff made allusions to their being drunk and my husband and myself laughed at them as well.

Kathy asks the question, hunts down the stories and asks what you think? I personally think they are high on Union punch
