O'Hare Airport UFO-More Information

Monday January 15, 2007
There are still a lot of reports going around the Net about the O'Hare Airport UFO. Several researchers who are usually well informed tell me that in a few days there will be photographs and video of the event. Why has it taken this long? Financial negotiations. This may seem self-serving to you, but think about what you would do if you had film or photography of this event which has been discussed on major media outlets all over the world. Would you give it away, or ask for a fee? How much could this be worth? There have been a few UFO videos which have sold for as much as $20,000.00.

A few days ago, I was informed of an unedited newsroom video which showed a newscaster having a conversation with another newsperson about the O'Hare incident before going live with the story. Some remarkable details are revealed, and I checked this out before sending out the URL. A researcher who has been in the live broadcasting business for many years looked over the video, and assured me that it had every indication of being real. That being said, check it out, you will find it very interesting.

Note: The video that was linked to on this blog has been removed by the owner. I cannot say why at this point. If I had to guess, I would say that the site that carried the footage was in copyright violation, and was called down. However, where this is a will there is a way. Here is another link to the O'Hare newsroom footage.

Wow, great interview. Were the photos used in the interview actual shots of the OHare incident? If so, I can’t believe just how close they were to the tower, you could almost reach out and touch them. Kind of hard to deny with these pictures. Thanks for the update.

Has anyone ever heard a sonic boom made by a UFO?

The footage is real. This was a video uplink interview where a TV station rents time on a satellite to do a long distance interview with someone. Usually the uplink will come up on a satellite transponder about ten minutes before the actual broadcast. This allows engineers time to work out any problems before they go on air. This also allows time for the anchor at the station to do a preliminary conversation with the interviewee before they go on the air. If you have a C-band dish, you can watch a lot of these “behind the scene” conversations because people forget that once you are up on the bird, they can be seen by anyone with the right equipment.

Well, this is all just talk. I don’t see any visual evidence presented but all that is said is by the Chicago Tribune journalist reiterating what he has gleaned from one actual witness-a fellow who moves aircraft at the O’hare airport. The story sounds exciting but the apparent lack of evidence from the other witnesses is troublesome. I’m also not the least bit enthused by the fact that the only witness to speak out on the matter has said that he became outspoken about it after talking to the presenter of a nightly call-in show that deals with a panoply of bad science and paranormal events. This is not reassuring. The host name is Noory on http://www.coasttocoastam.com The original presenter was Art Bell. Based on all this I have diminished my enthusiasm a great deal and put on my critical thinking cap.

I’m pessimistic that the video or photograph(s) will ever be released. Unfotunately, they probably don’t even exist. But the great thing about this case is not the visual evidence involved, but the fact that there are about a dozen (reliable) witnesses who claim to have seen the object. In addition, given the witnesses descriptions of the object, it is difficult to attribute the sightings to “weather phenomena”. Altogether, I think this is one of the more convincing UFO cases.

Thanks for the link to view this interview. I just wish pictures/video would have been posted already. Taking this long in seeing any photos or video makes me wonder if any would be creditable. So much time has passed and so much has been said about this sighting, it is a wonder someone hasn’t already tried to pass off a fake video as the real thing.

You can get an alternative, rational and openminded debate over at http://www.OpenMinds.co.nr – check out the UFO section – there are loads of threads about O’Hare there, plus pictures, video (news leak)and articles. One stop O’Hare shop! lol!

If anyone has ANY photographic/video evidence regarding the O’hare UFO sighting, I suggest they check out http://www.abovetopsecret.com. You can submit your info anonymously if you choose to do so, and can send pics directly from your phone. Thanks, and Cheers!

Many thanks to Chicago Tribune Newsroom and Mr Jon Hilkevitch and Jim (surname) not given for an excellent and objective UFO sighting report furnished by multiple witnesses, pilots, mechanics, and some senior management etc of a solid looking grey coloured UFO over O’Hare Airport flight terminal on the 7th of November 2006. This UFO was later reported to have climbed into the grey cloud overhead with such rapididity that it broke through the cloud leaving a big blue hole at the top which took some minutes to close up.

I saw my first UFO in Western Australia at 15 years of age at Caversham in 1954 along with Gliding Instructors, one of whom was a 2nd World War Spitfire Pilot and later a Bomber Commander.

Around 12 to 14 of us saw this UFO on a clear winter’s morning around 11.50 AM at the Caversham Airfield, just North-East of Perth’ Western Australia’s Capital City. The disc shaped craft first appeared to many of us as a very bright object which flew slowly around the airfield. As it flew it moved as if it were a stone being skipped across a calm pond of water, but in slow-motion. Mr Williams explained to me and the other witnesses that he and his bomber crew had seen small discoid craft of apparently 2 to 12 feet in diameter move around their bomber aircraft on a number of occasions when they flew Air and Bombing Raids over Germany (2nd World War). These disc shaped craft came so close to the bombers at times that they flew just ahead of the nose gunners turret, then slowly circled the bombers as if they were detailedly examining them and their engines. Mr Williams and those pilots and crew who saw these craft gave the DISCS the name of FOO FIGHTERS.

When Jesus Christ said “Other sheep have I which are not of this flock.”
It is possible that he meant that God’s power is so GREAT that other sentient creatures such as Man are living on other planets, yes, even in other star-systems within our own Galaxy or even in faraway Galaxies. I stress that this is a possibility only, and not yet proven, but maybe it will be in the future.

Richard Leschen.
