CHICAGO - Federal officials say it was probably just some weird weather phenomenon, but a group of United Airlines employees swear they saw a mysterious, saucer-shaped craft hovering over O’Hare Airport last fall.

The workers, some of them pilots, said the object didn’t have lights and hovered over an airport terminal before shooting up through the clouds, according to a report in Monday’s Chicago Tribune.

The Federal Aviation Administration acknowledged that a United supervisor had called the control tower at O’Hare, asking if anyone had spotted a spinning disc-shaped object. But the controllers didn’t see anything, and a preliminary check of radar found nothing out of the ordinary, FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said.

At least one O’Hare controller, union official Craig Burzych, was amused by it all.

“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,” he said.

You know, it wouldn't surprise me at all

Probably an Embaraer that actually took off and didn't return to the gate with a mechanical. LOL

LMAO did it happen on January 1 right after New Year celebrations ?

Well, I'm sure they all saw something, but probably not a UFO.

I was actually flying in chicago that day and the controllers were having a blast with it.
Asking some of the planes climbing out of O'hare if they had seen any green men get on board.
