You don't get many of these anymore, but a bunch of O'Hare pilots and ground crew swear they saw a disc-shaped UFO hovering over the airport and then shooting away. Someone should dust off the ol' Project Blue Book reports...

In this day & age, where everyone has some kind of camera on them at all times, whether it be a digital or cell-phone camera, the absence of photos to corroborate this story makes it just as sketchy as any other UFO report without proof.

I don't know - not everyone has the best of mobiles. And if they do - they probably don't have great cameras. AND even the best mobile digital cameras aren't great for distance shots - so if someone DID manage to take a photo using a digital camera on a phone - the quality would be shit and people would be complaining about that.

On another note the main UFO sighting I have had involved a similar sort of story - mainly the part about the object shooting up into the sky/clouds very fast.

And another note - Chicago, Illinois - anyone here a fan of Sufjan Stevens? His Illinois album "Come on Feel the Illinoise" starts with the track "concerning the UFO sighting near Highland, IL". GREAT track.

If there really were an advanced race of being from another world, why the hell would they be interested in a planet full of hairless monkeys?

AndrewR is right, this is just another UFO story. So they saw something yet no one took a pic. Oh well. Who cares.

For Spaghetti Monster's sake, I wish people would stop using UFO as a synonym for 'alien spacecraft'.

On the news it said that it was probably just some weather phenomenon. It's always some weather phenomenon.

Maybe someone dischared a ball of plasma from themselves? A Mutant of some sort? [Smile] Was that an X-men power?
