The O'Hare incident of November 7, 2006 represents one of the most credible and well-documented UFO observations in the United States. Unlike most UFO reports involving one or two witnesses, this event was observed by approximately twenty United Airlines employees at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, one of the world's largest airports.

Background

O'Hare Airport is located in the heart of a densely populated urban region. In 2006, UFO sightings in the United States continued to attract attention, although most remained largely ignored by mainstream media and official authorities. The 1968 Condon Report had concluded that UFOs did not exist, creating a climate of institutional skepticism that persists into the 2000s.

The Facts

On November 7, 2006, around 4:45 p.m. local time, United Airlines employees working on the tarmac near Terminal C observe a stationary metallic gray object resembling a disc or flying saucer. The object allegedly measured approximately 6 to 9 meters in diameter and maintained a fixed position at approximately 300 meters altitude.
