At approximately 4:30pm on November 7, 2006, a United Airlines employee witnessed a small, round disc-shaped object (roughly the size of a US quarter) hovering over Gate C17 at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport. The employee had been working on the ramp and happened to look up in time to see the metallic looking disc spinning directly over his head. He called his supervisors, who went to his location and watched the object spin for approximately two minutes.

Then, they watched it shoot straight up through solid clouds, which were hovering at 1,900 feet at the time. Approximately a dozen witnesses saw the incident, including the pilot and co-pilot of Flight 446, bound for Charlotte, NC.

Did the United Airlines employees witness a UFO sighting? Or, was this a reflection of light off the low-lying clouds, as the FAA is suggesting? According to them, the air traffic controllers didn’t see anything unusual on their radar screens. They aren’t investigating any further.
